Background

The Boeing 747-400 Ed Force One served as a tour plane for heavy metal band Iron Maiden during their 2016 “The Book of Souls” World Tour, piloted by lead singer Bruce Dickinson, and took the band and their crew safely to over 35 countries. The Ed Force One is not just an airplane, but a symbol of the band’s epic journeys and worldwide connection with their fans. This model celebrates the band’s extraordinary history and unparalleled tour.

The Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet is a four-engine, wide-body, long-range low-wing passenger jet in the American low-wing configuration. The drive is provided by four Pratt and Whitney JT9D or PW4000 or Rolls-Royce RB211 or General Electric CF6 or GEnx engines. The flight of the prototype took place in 1969, and serial production started in 1970 and is still ongoing. By April 2017, 1,531 Boeing 747s had been produced. Airplanes of this type are characterized by two passenger decks, which significantly increased the number of passengers – depending on the version – from 366 to 568! Several major development versions of this very successful aircraft were produced in the course of serial production. The first mass-produced was the Boeing 747-100, but the Boeing 747-200 model was quickly put into service, with improved performance and flight range. Later, the 747-400 version was offered, which turned out to be the most popular of all produced. It was characterized by improved aerodynamic properties and increased passenger compartment capacity.
