In late 1966, Pratt & Whitney agreed to develop its JT9D, a high bypass turbofan engine. On September 30, 1968, the first 747 was rolled out of the Everett, Washington plant. The first flight took place on February 09, 1969, and the 747 was certified in December of that year. There were a total of 167 747-100's manufactured.Trans World Airlines introduced the 747 to it's fleet in 1970. The airlines had 25 '100's in service from 1970 to 1998. One of those aircraft was Flight 800, that exploded and crashed into the Atlantic Ocean near East Moriches, New York on July 17, 1996.
