747s
Large commercial aircraft
747s is the plural of 747, referring to multiple Boeing 747 aircraft—the iconic wide-body jumbo jet with a distinctive humped upper deck.
The 747 dominated long-haul air travel from its 1970 debut until newer twin-engine jets began replacing it: Three 747s sat on the tarmac.
The number alone instantly evokes large-scale commercial aviation.
