Introduced on February 9, 1969, Boeing's 747 passenger plane was the first wide-body aircraft and became a popular plane with aviation fans and airlines alike. By 2022, Boeing built and delivered more than 1,500 747s. Not only did airlines appreciate the "jumbo jet" for its size and capabilities, but the USAF chose the Boeing 747 jet to replace Air Force One and serve as the Oval Office in the sky for the president. Despite numerous updates to its avionics and multiple variants built to keep up with modern technology, it reaches a certain point where the decades-old plane needs to retire and make room for a new "Queen of the Skies." Okay, nobody gave the 777 that nickname, but it has become one of the best-selling wide-body planes by Boeing.

Boeing 777 Vs 747: Which Is The Faster Passenger Jet?

Throughout its storied history, aerospace manufacturer Boeing has designed and produced what many consider to be some of the most iconic passenger aircraft to ever take to the skies. While massive Boeing builds like the 747, and 787 Dreamliner tend to headline conversations regarding Boeing's best passenger planes, one can easily argue that the 727 also deserves its share of attention, even if the manufacturer stopped making way back in the mid-1980s.

It’s been over a year since Tesla CEO Elon Musk agreed to open up the company’s Supercharger network to vehicles from other automakers. At the time, it was looked at as a great move for the auto industry and, in theory, it still is. However, more than 12 months later, Tesla’s network (with nearly 30,000 fast-charging plugs in the U.S. and Canada) is still pretty much inaccessible to folks who own non-Tesla EVs. Software delays and hardware shortages are apparently to blame.
