</div><b>Amelia Mary Earhart</b> (July 24, 1897 – missing as of July 2, 1937), daughter of Edwin and Amy Earhart, was an <a href="/wiki/United_States" title="United States">American</a> <a href="/wiki/Aviator" class="mw-redirect" title="Aviator">aviator</a> and noted early female pilot who mysteriously disappeared over the <a href="/wiki/Pacific_Ocean" title="Pacific Ocean">Pacific Ocean</a> during a <a href="/wiki/Circumnavigation" title="Circumnavigation">circumnavigational</a> flight in 1937. <p>By 1919 Earhart had enrolled at <a href="/wiki/Columbia_University" title="Columbia University">Columbia University</a> to study pre-med but quit a year later to be with her parents in California. Later in <a href="/wiki/Long_Beach,_California" title="Long Beach, California">Long Beach</a> she and her father went to a stunt-flying exhibition and the next day she went on a ten minute flight. </p><p>Earhart had her first flying lesson at Kinner Field near Long Beach. Her teacher was Anita Snook, a pioneer female aviator. Six months later Earhart purchased a yellow Kinner Airster <a href="/wiki/Biplane" title="Biplane">biplane</a> which she named "Canary". On October 22, 1922, she flew it to an altitude of 14,000 feet, setting a women's world record. </p><p>After <a href="/wiki/Charles_Lindbergh" title="Charles Lindbergh">Charles Lindbergh</a>'s solo flight across the Atlantic in 1927, Amy Guest, a wealthy American living in <a href="/wiki/London" title="London">London</a>, <a href="/wiki/England" title="England">England</a> expressed interest in being the first woman to fly (or be flown) across the Atlantic Ocean, but after deciding the trip was too dangerous to make herself, she offered to sponsor the project, suggesting they find "another girl with the right image." While at work one afternoon in April 1928 Earhart got a phone call from a man who asked her, "Would you like to fly the Atlantic?" </p> <table class="noprint" width="100%" border="0" style="padding: 0; margin: 0; background-color:transparent"> <tbody><tr> <td><div style="text-align:left;"><b><a href="/wiki/Portal:Aviation/Selected_biography" title="Portal:Aviation/Selected biography">More selected biographies</a></b></div></td> <td> <div style="text-align:right;margin-right:10px;margin-bottom:4px;"> <p><b><a href="/wiki/Amelia_Earhart" title="Amelia Earhart">Read more...</a></b> </p> </div> </td></tr></tbody></table> <div style="clear:both;" class=""></div></div> <div class="box-header-title-container flex-columns-noflex" style="clear:both;color:navy;margin-bottom:0px;border:solid #566473;box-sizing:border-box;text-align:center;font-size:100%;background:#ABCDEF;font-family:sans-serif;padding:.1em;border-width:1px 1px 0;padding-top:.1em;padding-left:.1em;padding-right:.1em;padding-bottom:.1em;moz-border-radius:0;webkit-border-radius:0;border-radius:0"><div class="plainlinks noprint" style="float:right;margin-bottom:.1em;color:navy;font-size:80%"></div><h2 id="Selected_Aircraft" style="font-weight:bold;padding:0;margin:0;color:navy;font-family:sans-serif;border:none;font-size:100%;padding-bottom:.1em">Selected Aircraft</h2></div><div style="color:black;opacity:1;border:1px solid #566473;box-sizing:border-box;text-align:left;padding:1em;background:#f0f0ff;margin:0 0 10px;vertical-align:top;border-top-width:1px;padding-top:.3em;border-radius:0"> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Ba_b747-400_g-bnle_arp.jpg" class="mw-file-description" title="British Airways Boeing 747-400"><img alt="British Airways Boeing 747-400" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f3/Ba_b747-400_g-bnle_arp.jpg/250px-Ba_b747-400_g-bnle_arp.jpg" decoding="async" width="250" height="164" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f3/Ba_b747-400_g-bnle_arp.jpg/375px-Ba_b747-400_g-bnle_arp.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f3/Ba_b747-400_g-bnle_arp.jpg/500px-Ba_b747-400_g-bnle_arp.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2452" data-file-height="1608" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/British_Airways" title="British Airways">British Airways</a> <a href="/wiki/Boeing_747-400" title="Boeing 747-400">Boeing 747-400</a></figcaption></figure> <p>The <b><a href="/wiki/Boeing_747" title="Boeing 747">Boeing 747</a></b> is a <a href="/wiki/Wide-body_aircraft" title="Wide-body aircraft">widebody</a> commercial <a href="/wiki/Airliner" title="Airliner">airliner</a>, often referred to by the nickname <i><a href="/wiki/Jumbo_Jet" class="mw-redirect" title="Jumbo Jet">Jumbo Jet</a></i>. It is among the world's most recognizable <a href="/wiki/Aircraft" title="Aircraft">aircraft</a>, and was the first widebody ever produced. Manufactured by <a href="/wiki/Boeing" title="Boeing">Boeing</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Boeing_Commercial_Airplanes" title="Boeing Commercial Airplanes">Commercial Airplane unit</a> in the United States, the original version of the 747 was two and a half times the size of the <a href="/wiki/Boeing_707" title="Boeing 707">Boeing 707</a>, one of the common large commercial aircraft of the 1960s. First flown commercially in 1970, the 747 held the passenger capacity record for 37 years. </p><p>The four-engine 747 uses a <a href="/wiki/Double-deck_aircraft" title="Double-deck aircraft">double deck</a> configuration for part of its length. It is available in passenger, freighter and other versions. Boeing designed the 747's hump-like upper deck to serve as a first class lounge or (as is the general rule today) extra seating, and to allow the aircraft to be easily converted to a cargo carrier by removing seats and installing a front cargo door. Boeing did so because the company expected <a href="/wiki/Supersonic_transport" title="Supersonic transport">supersonic airliners</a> (whose development was announced in the early 1960s) to render the 747 and other subsonic airliners obsolete; while believing that the demand for subsonic cargo aircraft would be robust into the future. The 747 in particular was expected to become obsolete after 400 were sold but it exceeded its critics' expectations with production passing the 1,000 mark in 1993. As of September 2023, 1,574 aircraft have been built, with the final delivery in January 2023. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Boeing_747-8" title="Boeing 747-8">747-8</a>, the latest version in service, is among the fastest airliners in service with a high-subsonic cruise speed of <a href="/wiki/Mach_number" title="Mach number">Mach</a> 0.855 (564 mph or 908 km/h). It has an intercontinental range of 7,730 nautical miles (14,320 km; 8,900 mi). The 747-8I (passenger version) can accommodate 467 passengers in a typical <a href="/wiki/Travel_class" title="Travel class">three-class layout</a>. The 747-8 completed production on 6 December 2022 and the final 747 was delivered to <a href="/wiki/Atlas_Air" title="Atlas Air">Atlas Air</a> on 31 January 2023. </p> <table class="noprint" width="100%" border="0" style="background:transparent"> <tbody><tr> <td width="33%"><b><a href="/wiki/Portal:Aviation/Selected_Aircraft" title="Portal:Aviation/Selected Aircraft">More selected aircraft</a></b> </td> <td style="text-align:right; margin-right:1em"><b><a href="/wiki/Boeing_747" title="Boeing 747">Read more...</a></b> </td></tr></tbody></table> <div style="clear:both;" class=""></div></div> <div class="box-header-title-container flex-columns-noflex" style="clear:both;color:navy;margin-bottom:0px;border:solid #566473;box-sizing:border-box;text-align:center;font-size:100%;background:#ABCDEF;font-family:sans-serif;padding:.1em;border-width:1px 1px 0;padding-top:.1em;padding-left:.1em;padding-right:.1em;padding-bottom:.1em;moz-border-radius:0;webkit-border-radius:0;border-radius:0"><div class="plainlinks noprint" style="float:right;margin-bottom:.1em;color:navy;font-size:80%"></div><h2 id="Today_in_Aviation" style="font-weight:bold;padding:0;margin:0;color:navy;font-family:sans-serif;border:none;font-size:100%;padding-bottom:.1em">Today in Aviation</h2></div><div style="color:black;opacity:1;border:1px solid #566473;box-sizing:border-box;text-align:left;padding:1em;background:#f0f0ff;margin:0 0 10px;vertical-align:top;border-top-width:1px;padding-top:.3em;border-radius:0"> <p><b><a href="/wiki/November_26" title="November 26">November 26</a></b> </p> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/2012_in_aviation" title="2012 in aviation">2012</a> – The U.S. Navy begins testing of the <a href="/wiki/Northrop_Grumman_X-47B" title="Northrop Grumman X-47B">Northrop Grumman X-47B</a> <a href="/wiki/Unmanned_combat_air_vehicle" class="mw-redirect" title="Unmanned combat air vehicle">unmanned combat air vehicle</a> aboard the aircraft carrier <a href="/wiki/USS_Harry_S._Truman" title="USS Harry S.
