The series 100 powered by Pratt & Whitney JT9D-3A engines offered enough payload and range for US domestic operations, but it was marginal for long international route sectors. This demand for longer range aircraft with increased payload quickly led to improved series 200. The 747-200 has more powerful engines, increased MTOW, and greater range than the -100. In its first three years of production, the series 200 featured Pratt & Whitney JT9D-7 engines (initially the only engine available). A few early -200s retained the three-window configuration of the -100 on the upper deck, but most were built with a 10-window configuration on each side.
