Boeing 747-400F Dedicated Freighter Variant

The Boeing 747-400F is the dedicated freighter branch of the 747-400 generation, combining the modernized 747-400 flight deck and wing with a freight-oriented main deck, nose cargo door, and high-payload transport mission. Passenger 747-400, convertible variants, and later 747-8F remain separate boundaries. Boeing gives 70.67 m overall length and 64.44 m span at jig position (64.92 m at maximum gross weight with full fuel). In the CF6-80C2B1 table, the 875,000 lb takeoff-weight option is 396,893 kg. Its listed 122,944 kg structural payload uses the optional 288,031 kg zero-fuel weight and 165,086 kg specification empty weight; actual empty weight and usable payload depend on configuration and mission fuel.

      Variant Notes
      Boeing 747-400F source material supports the CF6-80 family relationship; the canonical link remains the exact existing CF6 family node without inventing a suffix-level engine row.
