747-400
Boeing
launched the 747-400 in October 1985 and the first development aircraft first
flew on April 29 1988. US certification was awarded in January 1989.
The 747-400
externally resembles the -300, but it is a significantly improved aircraft.
Changes include a new, two crew digital flight deck replaced the analog
systems of the 747 classic with digital avionics, with six large CRT displays,
reducing the
number of lights, gauges and switches from 971 to 365. Programmable displays and
simpler cockpit procedures also reduced the workload in the cockpit.
An
increased span wing with winglets (the -400 was the first airliner to introduce
winglets), new engines, recon toured wing/fuselage fairing, a new interior,
lower basic but increased max takeoff weights, and greater range.
The
747-400 is
currently the only model in production, and it is the best-selling member of the
747 family.

Boeing 747-400 variants:
-
Boeing
747-400 Passenger aircraft.
-
Boeing
747-400D Domestic passenger
aircraft for high-capacity transport on short routes no winglets.
-
Boeing 747-400M Combi
passenger, cargo with left-side main-deck cargo door aft of the wing.
-
Boeing 747-400F
Freighter airplane it has a nose cargo door and a optional main-deck side
cargo door.
-
Boeing 747-400ER Passenger aircraft is an
increased gross weight derivative of the 747-400. The 747-400ER can be
equipped with up to two fuel tanks in the forward lower cargo compartment.
-
Boeing
747-400FER is similar to the 747-400F, except for the increased gross weight
capability which allows it to carry more cargo weight. This airplane is not
fitted with the cargo compartment fuel tanks.
-
Boeing
YAL-1A Airborne Laser for the USAF.
-
Boeing
747-400LCF The Large Cargo
Freighter's unique design will feature an entire aft fuselage that swings open
for loading. Modifications to enlarge the upper fuselage will increase the
volume of the main cargo deck to 1.845 m³,
300 percent more capacity than the 747-400 Freighter, the largest freighter in
regularly scheduled service. Two Large Cargo Freighters will be needed to
support initial 787 production. Two 747-400s that will be converted to the new
configuration were purchased by Boeing in 2004. Boeing continues looking for a
third airplane that will enter service later. Certification of the first Large
Cargo Freighter will occur in 2006, with the airplane returning to service in
2007 to support final assembly of the first 787 Dreamliner.

1 Boeing YAL-1A
One Airborne Laser
Boeing YAL-1A was built by Boeing Wichita, KS.
The high-energy
laser weapon system will shoot down theater ballistic missiles while they still
are over the enemy’s own territory. The Airborne Laser (ABL) weapon system will
operate at altitudes above the clouds where it can acquire and track missiles in
boost flight, and then accurately point and fire the laser with such energy that
the missile is destroyed before it can do any harm.
The YAL-1A made its maiden
flight in July 18, 2002. It was repeatedly tested – first against the fiery
plumes of F-16 afterburners, then a boosting Lance missile, and finally against
a staging Minuteman II missile in a test over the Pacific Ocean in December 2002
– before YAL-1A was housed in a hangar at Edwards Air Force Base in California
in preparation for the installation of the lasers and optical systems.
While YAL-1A is in the
hangar at Edwards, tests will be conducted independently on the ABL optical
system and the six laser modules that will make up the complete COIL system.
Once those systems have been proven effective they will be installed on YAL-1A
in preparation for a series of rigorous chain of ground and air tests of the
entire ABL configuration. These tests will include a re-examination of BMC4I
against a variety of targets. Initial tests will culminate with the shoot down
of a ballistic missile over the Pacific.
A fleet of fully
operational EMD systems is intended to satisfy Air Combat Command's boost-phase
Theater Air Defense requirements. If all goes as planned, a fleet of seven ABLs
should be flying operational missions by 2008.
