Boeing 747-200F Freighter Variant
The Boeing 747-200F is the dedicated freighter version of the 747-200B series, certified by the FAA on March 7, 1972. Its upward-opening nose cargo door, reinforced main-deck floor and center wing, revised freight systems, and cargo smoke detection established the classic 747 freighter branch; passenger 747-200B and convertible 747-200C remain separate boundaries. Boeing's JT9D-7Q freighter planning column lists 377,800 kg MTOW and 110,960 kg structural payload. That payload uses the nose-door configuration: the manual deducts 3,610 kg when a side cargo door is installed. Payload also depends on actual empty weight and mission fuel. The classic wing spans 59.64 m; these freighter values are separate from passenger seating limits.
