How The 747 Got Its Hump

How The 747 Got Its Hump

The Boeing 747 took to the skies in 1969, less than a month before Concorde's first test flight.

The 747 and Concorde are true aviation icons. 

The 747 ‘Queen of the Skies’ was the first wide-body passenger jet
and has evolved and developed over a production period lasting more than 50 years. 

And, although Concorde and the 747 are physically very different,
both are instantly recognisable in their own way. 

Both have cemented their positions in the history of commercial aviation.

The aircraft that almost bankrupt Boeing!
