Question about wings of 747-200 vs 300


Recommended Posts

I thought the only difference externally between the  -200 and -300 was the extended upper deck, so the wings would be the same as Wiki alludes to.

 

The -400 changed with a new wing body fairing and the wing tip fences as well as ather minor changes.

A very interesting conversation :

Here's a late -200F with the -400 Wing to Body fairing in her two liveries :

About the -400 Wing Root fitting (Post #10) :

However, one thing can be added.

The -400 (not the D type though  - D for Domestic in use on the Japanese network - ) have a longer wing besides the winglet extension.

This can be spotted when you look at their extremity between the outboard aileron and the winglet.
The outboard leading edge slats have 6 elements instead of 5 on the older types.
