Wingspan is not a good measure of "size", that's just an output of engineering decisions on how to get the actual payload into the air.
> 3% smaller range
Range is not a measure of size. Making a smaller plane with similar range is a technological coup and major part of making smaller planes successful.
The heaviest 787's max weight is 250 t, but for 747 that is 442 t. That's a 40% difference!
