jumbo jets
Giant commercial aircraft
Jumbo jets are the largest commercial passenger aircraft, capable of carrying several hundred people on long-haul flights.
The term emerged with the Boeing 747, introduced in 1970, whose distinctive hump made it instantly recognizable.
The jumbo jet touched down after fourteen hours from Tokyo.
Now applied broadly to any wide-body airliner.
