| Feb 5, 2017 at 18:29 | comment | added | PerlDuck | Indeed, according to wikipedia a “Jumbo Jet” is a synonym for any wide-body aircraft. That was new to me either and doesn't coincide with my experience. But they also say the B747 is the Jumbo Jet whereas the others have prefixes (like super- and mini-). Btw: Joe Sutter - the 747's father - died only 6 months ago (Aug 2016) at the age of 95. I've read he didn't like the name "Jumbo" for "his" plane, but I cannot find any evidence right now. | |

| Feb 1, 2016 at 20:14 | comment | added | reirab | @HenningMakholm Usually so, but it has occasionally also been used to refer to wide-body jets in general (and the 777 certainly qualifies as that.) | |

| Feb 1, 2016 at 11:59 | comment | added | hmakholm left over Monica | Doesn't "jumbo jet" refer specifically to the 747? That picture is not a 747. | |
