Boeing 747-200B Extended-Range Passenger Variant
The Boeing 747-200B is the extended-range passenger version of the basic 747-100 series aircraft, certified by the FAA on December 23, 1970. Its strengthened structure, increased center-wing fuel capacity, higher gross weight, and revised engine installations established the principal long-range passenger branch of the classic 747; 747-200F and 747-200C cargo/converter branches remain separate boundaries. For the all-passenger JT9D-7R4G2 planning configuration, Boeing lists an 833,000 lb takeoff-weight limit, rounded to 377,800 kg in its metric table. The basic mixed-class seating arrangement has 452 seats, while the alternative ten-abreast economy arrangement has 480. The listed 59.64 m span is from the classic 747 drawing; cargo and Combi configurations have different loading assumptions.
