Boeing 747SR High-Cycle Short-Range Variant
The Boeing 747SR is a separately certified high-cycle short-range branch based on the 747-100, approved by the FAA on September 26, 1973. Structural and fatigue-life modifications supported dense short-haul operations in Japan and other high-frequency markets; the long-range 747-100, 747-200B, 747SP, and cargo branches remain separate boundaries. The SR branch retains the classic 747 wing geometry: Boeing's 747-100B drawing gives a 59.64 m span, and the manual explicitly applies 747-100B pages to aircraft with the SR option. Its short-haul specialization therefore concerns operating weights, cabin density and repeated flight cycles rather than the shortened fuselage of the 747SP. Weight and cabin figures must be tied to the particular SR configuration.
Future launches and major activity directly linked to this vehicle family.
