Following the loss of the competition for the gigantic military transport, the C-5A, Boeing set out to develop a large advanced commercial airplane to take advantage of the high bypass engine technology developed for the C-5A. The design philosophy behind the 747 was to develop a completely new plane, and other than the engines, the designers purposefully avoided using any hardware developed for the C-5.BI229973 (k59886)Maximum size:5400px × 3600px (~55 MB)18.0in × 12.0in (300dpi)License type:Rights ManagedKeywords:1980s-747 family-747-400-airplanes-ascending-commercial-commercial passenger planes-currently in production-exteriors-flying-full body views-glare-ground to air-head on views-jets-monochromatic-monoplanes-orange-photos-silhouettes-sun-sunrise-sunset-takeoffs-vivid color-yellowRelated Photo/Videos:View All
