Boeing 747SP, operated by Air Mauritius as 3B-NAG. The shortened, long-range member of the 747 family gave the island carrier important intercontinental capability from Mauritius during the 1980s. The 747SP featured a significantly shorter fuselage, enlarged tail surfaces, and exceptional range compared with the standard early 747, making it well suited to long routes with moderate passenger demand. Air Mauritius used the type to connect its Indian Ocean home with distant destinations, including European markets. Although produced in small numbers, the 747SP became famous for its distinctive proportions, high performance, and ability to operate some of the world's longest nonstop routes.

Known during development as the 747SB (short-body), the 747SP (special performance) was designed to meet a 1973 joint request from Pan American World Airways and Iran Air for a long-range, high-capacity airliner. The SP variant had a fuselage that was shortended by 47 feet while retaining the engines and fuel tank capacity, yeilding a higher speed and longer range than existing 747 variants. The 747SP first entered service with Pan Am in 1976 and in the years that followed, its record-setting range enabled Pan Am to offer the longest non-stop flights in the world, including New York - Tokyo, San Francisco - Hong Kong and Los Angeles - Sydney. © Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
