U.S. manufacturers, notably Boeing, have produced iconic ‘jumbo jets’ like the 747. Debuting in 1970, the 747 dramatically increased passenger and cargo capacity, making worldwide air travel more accessible and affordable. Its distinctive hump and wide-body design set new standards in aviation. Over 1,500 units have been built, serving both commercial and cargo operations globally. (boeing.com)
