The huge 747 offers passengers a cabin 9 feet wider than the
707 with a flat ceiling high all the way across so even pas-
sengers by windows can stand straight up. Baggage handling is
speeded up by utilizing containers contoured to dimensions of the
lower compartments. Up to 50,000 gallons of jet fuel feed
engines with thrust of 45,000 lbs., or 21/2 times that of 707.
Compared to the 707, the 747 is 231' long, vs. 153'; wingspan
is 196' vs. 146'.
