Advanced customization feature. Offers 6-7% increased fuel efficiency. Will bring modernity option to lore airlines that still operate the old bird.

They were 14ft 6in

#

Idk but zoo wee mama McDSprite

#

If these had entered the market, the 747’s lifespan probably would have been much longer.

#

This is a stretch, but maybe the 747-200 as well?

misty pulsar
#

Prolly not

#

On the 200

#

Unless you have a pic of it on the -200

half burrow
#

I do not cause it does not exist

misty pulsar
#

Then no chance the -200 is getting jt

#

Wait a minute

#

I'm reading that the 747 in the picture is a 747-200 just with upgraded engines

#

bro what? Skull20

#

Op says it's a -400 and I'm not the best at visually identifying airliner variants

#

Well there's the link to the website I saw it on

#

#

Heheheha!

#

I mean

#

The 747s up to the -400 variant all have similar wings right?

misty pulsar
#

Yeah no idk how to differentiate a 742 from the 744 at first glance

#

Especially with no references for size

#

Like the 332 and 333

#

Would it be that outlandish to make these winglets available to most 747s?

half burrow
#

But in this case it's really hard to tell

misty pulsar
#

Unless they feel a little troll-ey

#

But that's rare

#

Like the Falcon 20gtf WeDoABitOfTrolling

#

Alr, do you know if they would pair those winglets with the engine upgrades if those modifications are added?

#

Like what do you think they would do

misty pulsar
#

Separate Engine and Winglet options

#

Alr

I would love to see the 747-200 with JT9D-3As paired with those winglets

finite ridge
#

It had winglets?!

#

A lot of Boeing things got tested, winglets and fuselage shapes

#

Id suggest asking the museum of flight (Seattle) about this, they could probably help get you the history of this specific jet.

hot blade
#

do it

#

if you have the opportunity

short thorn
wary plume
#

Can’t imagine these being implemented

#

It was only the 742F that had them

#

Never know though

Im reviving this for Perseus to see
