747-400
Hi. I have a question in reference to what I assume are different airplane model numbers. Such as, with the 747. What is the difference between, say a 747-400 and a 747-412 or maybe a 747-436? Kind of a novice aviation question but I would appreciate some help. Thanks.
RE: 747-400
The 747-4**, ** meaning the customer order #. Delta Airlines is 32. So if they ordered say a 747-400, the aircraft model number would be 747-432. They were assigned 15-25 years back. Some use them and some don't.

RE: 747-400
Means airline number on the model. Also, if the aircraft is leased these numbers still stay on the record. That is why you see an airline with many different numbers such as 747-416, 432 etc. in their fleet.
These numbers are assigned to the airline the aircraft was originally built for.

RE: 747-400
True. The ** in 747-4** is the customer number. Example: Singapore Airlines is 747-412 and British Airways is 747-436. That number stays with the aircraft forever. Say if British Airways sold one of thier 747-236s to Singapore Airlines, who, if they ordered the aircraft would be 747-212, it would still be a -236. Airbus however assigns their last two numbers by engine type.

I thoguht (eg. 767-30yb) wich is a twa plane means supper extend range or for like a 747-439= the inside config ?
RE: 747-400
It is a designation number Boeing gives to it's customers. For example, any American Airlines plane bought new from Boeing is given the designation-23
777-223, 757-223. United it -22, 747-422.
Get it?

RE: 747-400
TWA is 7X7-*31, ex: 757-231.
As for 737-3b7, that is the Allegheny/USAir/USAirways designation.

What does it mean when it is an advanced model?
IE: 737-200 Advanced
IE: 737-200 Advanced
Not Just A Number.
It's nothing new that the two last numbers indicate the airline which orders the plane, but it lasts with the plane, because each airline orders their planes with different options, I have seen all kinds of different options on 727's, for example in the location of the engine fire lights, or the engine start, or even the thrust levers.
