747SP
The long
range Boeing 747SP (Special Performance) is so far the only 747 model to feature
a changed fuselage length compared with the 747-100.The fuselage is shortened by
14.35 m, while the vertical tail was increased in height to compensate for the
reduced moment arm with the shorter fuselage. The Boeing 747SP retained 90%
commonality of components with the 747-100 and 200.
