The Boeing 747-200 is an American-made wide-body airliner manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. This variant was developed as an improvement over the initial 747, released in 1971 with stronger engines to increase its maximum takeoff weight and maximum travel range. It was built with passenger, freighter, and combination versions. In 1980, it was replaced by the 747-300, though many -200s still remain in service.
