The 747 family of freighters make up two-thirds of the world's widebody freighter fleet. The Boeing 747 Dreamlifter is a rare and visually striking cargo aircraft designed to transport components for the 787 Dreamliner from suppliers worldwide to US factories, solving a logistical problem of slow shipping methods. The 747-400 Dreamlifter (originally called the 747 Large Cargo Freighter or LCF) is a Boeing-designed conversion of used passenger 747-400s into a larger outsize cargo freighter configuration to ferry 787 Dreamliner sub-assemblies. The modification of four aircraft was completed by February 2010 by the Evergreen Aviation Technologies. The Boeing 747 Large Cargo Freighter (LCF), Dreamlifter, is a wide-body cargo aircraft. Constructed by drastic modifications to an existing Boeing 747-400, the Dreamlifter is used exclusively for transporting aircraft parts to Boeing from suppliers around the world.
