    No, they are designed to leak and cannot even fly at their normal operating height without the engines running to constantly top up the air pressure to a survivable level.

    In space, with no air to run the engines or to top up the pressure, you wouldn't last for long in a 747 unless it was modified. If you could somehow modify it to be leakproof I don't think structural strength would be a problem though.
