The Boeing 747, which is also known as the jumbo jet, is the largest passenger airliner in service. However, it will be outdone by the Airbus A380, which will enter service in 2006.

The four-engine 747, produced by Boeing Commercial Airplanes, uses a two-deck configuration, where the small upper deck is usually used for business-class passengers. A typical three-class layout accommodates about 400 passengers while a one-class layout accommodates a maximum of 600 passengers. The hump created by the upper deck has made the 747 a highly recognizable icon of air travel.
