Re: 744 vs 743

Hello all,

In addition to the winglets, other differences of the -400
over the -300 include an electronic cockpit, eliminating the
FE; a redesigned fillet at the forward wing root; and a wing
of a different airfoil section.  The -400F has the winglets
but no extended upper deck whilst the Japanese domestic
version, the -400D, has the extended upper deck but not the
winglets.  Only the -400 is in production and the Japanese
don't need the range-extending qualities on their short range
shuttle flights.  There are other variations out there but
escape my recollection.

the winglets?
