747SP
Boeing · USA
To achieve "Special Performance," Boeing cut 14 meters out of the 747 fuselage. This made the plane lighter and allowed it to carry enough fuel to fly non-stop between continents that were previously unreachable.
Legacy Fact: It held the world record for the longest non-stop commercial flight for over a decade.
