These are Boeing's own figures, hope the formatting is OK : 747 Model Summary Wow. Is the 747 the aircraft type with the most number of variants?  |

Geoff do you have the 330MRTT inculded in the numbers ? Airbus have yet to firm the France order for 12 A330MRTT jets. Correct, the MRTT330 orderbook of 12 comprises ; 6 Singapore 4 UK 2 Saudi Arabia Geoff |

You did the same I did on Boeing site....  Frankly I was surprised similar to Baroque how many variants there were and frankly if I would have done the list I would have all the 200, 300, 400 variants summed up - OK without the freighters... As I do believe they are more similar than our 380s of various customers - where the differences are rather big. Anyway thanks for your efforts Geoff.  |

How similar is the 747-100 to the 747-8 ? What about the A300 and the A330 ? We can lump or split any number of ways and still not be 'right' !! Cheers Geoff |

Airbus have yet to firm the France order for 12 A330MRTT jets. I do not expect these orders to be all firmed at the same time. They might be split in tranches to accomodate budget constraints (France budget rules cap both yearly commitments and yearly payments). |

Cheers Geoff Sure - I would have summed all the -100s and other summary all the -200s etc. There I do not believe to have any significant differences ... 200C and 200D are very close. Interestingly if we sum the 400 versions we have 400 442 - normall
400D 19 - high density seating no galeys
400M 61 - cargo doors added few rows less
400ER 6 - 500NM added on special orders for QUANTAS - only more gas + some minor changes
forget the freighters 400ERF + 400F - still we have 528 frames so it would move before the 787s - as I do believe only temporary.
OK just playing with the numbers.

The answer is simple - slight.
I am happy you say about the same I did - the difference is similar to difference of various customers A380.
