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 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.

Boeing C-17A Globemaster III
November 4, 2008 by R.Vogelaar · Leave a Comment
Boeing C-17A Globbemaster III 00-0545 of the USAF at the Paris Air Show 2005
The Boeing (former McDonnell Douglas) C-17A Globemaster III is a high-wing, T-tailed aircraft with a rear loading ramp. The C-17 is intended as a replacement for the Lockheed C-141 Starlifters of the US Air Force. The program has a long and convoluted history, beginning with the selection of McDonnell Douglas as the winner of the C-X cargo aircraft competition on August 28, 1981. Assembly of the first aircraft was completed in December 1990. The first flight of the C-17A (87-0025) was on September 15, 1991 , from the manufacturer’s Long Beach , California , facility to Edwards Air Force Base where developmental testing was to begin.
The initial production aircraft followed on May 18, 1992. Also, two static test airframes were built, beginning their test programs in November 1991 and the second quarter of 1992 respectively. Development flight testing was completed in December 1994, by which time some 16 aircraft were already delivered. Initial operational capability was achieved on January 17, 1995 by the 17th Airlift Squadron at Charleston AFB in North Carolina
During flight-testing at Edwards Air Force Base, CA., C-17s set 33 world records – more than any other airlifter in history – including payload to altitude, time-to-climb, and short-takeoff-and-landing marks in which the C-17 took off in less than 427 meters, carried a payload of 20.000 kg to altitude, and landed in less than 427 meters.
The C-17A aircraft can be configured for cargo, paratroopers, combat troops, hospital litter patients, or combinations of all of these. The C-17A is intended for strategic airlift and delivery of cargoes by landing on unimproved runways close to the battlefield, but can be employed for LAPES (low-altitude parachute extraction system) delivery of cargo.
A cockpit crew of two and one loadmaster operates the C-17, which can be refuelled in flight. This cost-effective flight crew complement is made possible through the use of an advanced digital avionics system and advanced cargo systems.
The four engines are Pratt & Whitney PW2040 series turbofans, designated as F117-PW-100 by the Air Force, each producing 18.382 kg of thrust. The engines are equipped with directed-flow thrust reversers capable of deployment in flight. On the ground, a fully loaded aircraft, using engine reversers, can back up a two-percent slope.The C-17 fleet has amassed nearly one million flying hours and in the global war on terrorism, has flown combat missions for nearly 1.600 consecutive days.
C-17A 00-0534
Boeing C-17A Globemaster III in combat:
Boeing C-17s have been involved in numerous contingency operations, including flying troops and equipment to Operation Joint Endeavour to support peacekeeping in Bosnia, Allied Force Operation in Kosovo, Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and Operation Iraqi Freedom.
