Additional Details:
Pan Am was first carrier to put 747 in service in January 1970. The huge 747 offers passengers a cabin 9 feet wider than the 707 with a flat ceiling high all the way across so even passengers 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 2 1/2 times that of 707. Compared to the 707, the 747 is 231' long vs 153'; wingspan is 196' vs 146'.
