3d model b south african 747 sp - B 747 SP South African by PedroFaut

The long range high capacity widebody airliner 747-SP, is so far, the only 747 model to feature a changed fuselage length compared with the 747-100. The SP suffix in 747-SP stands for Special Performance, and points to the ultra long range abilities of this 747 variant that preceded the current 747-400 by 15 years. While shortening the 747´s fuselage increased the fuel fraction and thus range, it also meant that seating capacity was reduced. The fuselage is shortened by 14.35m, while the vertical tail was increased in height.
