747-100. The first 747-100s were built with six upper-deck windows (three per side) to accommodate upstairs lounge areas.

Some -100s were retrofitted with the new configuration. The 747-8 is a development of the Boeing 747, which takes advantage of improvements in technology and aerodynamics. The two variants of the 747-8 were launched in 2005, and as of 2006 will both feature a fuselage stretch of 18.3 ft (5.6 m) over the 747-400, bringing the total length to 250 ft 2½ in (76.26 m).

These two factors combine to give it a significantly larger passenger capacity, as The Boeing 747-100 is a four-engined long-range widebody airliner with a capacity of maximum 480 passengers in a partial double deck configuration produced by the American manufacturer Boeing Commercial Airplanes.

All ten frames of the first order were delivered in 1970-71, and Northwest topped up its order with five more 747-100B longer-range variants to be delivered in 1971.
