Overview
The 747-8 stretched the jumbo to 76.3 m — making it the longest airliner of its time — and borrowed the 787's GEnx engine technology.
Production ended in 2022 after more than 1,500 747s of all versions had been built; the units-built figure here counts passenger and freighter 747-8s together.
