TAIPEI, Taiwan, Feb. 18, 2005 -- Boeing has selected Evergreen Aviation Technologies Corporation (EGAT) to modify three 747-400 passenger jets into Large Cargo Freighters that will transport major assemblies for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Modifications to enlarge the upper fuselage will increase the volume of the main cargo deck to 65,000 cubic feet (1,845m3), 300 percent more capacity than the 747-400 Freighter, the largest freighter in regularly scheduled service.
