The 1,500th airplane is a 747-8 Intercontinental destined for Lufthansa, a loyal 747 customer that requested this particular airplane. The 747-8 Intercontinental is the only jetliner in the 400- to 500-seat market, stretched 5.6 m (18.3 ft) from the 747-400 to provide 467 seats in a three-class configuration and a 14,815-km (8,000-nmi) range. Using 787-technology engines, the airplane is quieter, producing lower emissions, and achieving better fuel economy than any competing jetliner.
