== 747-100 range stated as both 5,300 nmi and 4,620 nmi ==

The article gives two different maximum-range figures for the original 747-100 variant, and they differ by 680 nautical miles.

In the design section, the article states: "Its range has increased from 5,300 nmi on the -100 to 8,000 nmi on the -8I."

Earlier in the same article, in the description of the 747-200, the article states: "Boeing introduced the 747-200 in 1971 … increasing the maximum range from 4,620 to 6,560 nmi."

The second passage identifies 4,620 nmi as the range of the original 747-100 from which the -200 improved. The first passage gives 5,300 nmi as the -100's range. Both claim to state the 747-100's maximum range, and they disagree by 680 nautical miles — a difference of roughly 15 percent. The article provides no explanation for the discrepancy.
