The Boeing 747 revolutionised air travel. Developed in the late 1960s, it was the world's first wide-body airliner or 'jumbo jet'. By carrying many more passengers over two floors of seating, the jumbo jet reduced the cost per passenger, opening up the possibility of flying to more people. Interest in air travel was already growing but, when the first commercial 747 flight took off in January 1970, so too did an age of mass aviation.
