Boeing 727: Triumph in the Skies

First flown in 1963, the Boeing 727 was skillfully designed to outclass its competitors and remained without a direct rival for nearly two decades. This jetliner was capable of being operated from short, unimproved airfields, while requiring minimal ground service equipment. In flight, it was a dreamfast, efficient, quiet, and comfortable.

Although this book is about an airplane, it is as much about the people at Boeing who were undaunted and took the financial risks necessary to build a truly outstanding machine. Readers will learn technical aspects of the 727, along with taking a close look at the brilliant minds and reasoning behind the design through personal interviews and examining archival data.
For the hobbyist, a model-building chapter is also included, which covers techniques for both first-time and experienced modelers.

Boeing 727

Die dreistrahlige Boeing 727 ist ein Passagierflugzeug für Kurz- und Mittelstrecken. Bis zur Ablösung durch die 737 war sie eine Zeit lang das meistgebaute Düsenverkehrsflugzeug der Welt.

Die elegante Maschine erschloss den Airlines neue Märkte und war über mehrere Jahrzehnte auf fast allen Flughäfen der Welt anzutreffen. Auch die Lufthansa setzte diese Maschine ab 1964 mit über 50 Stück ein.
Aufgrund gestiegener Lärmschutzauflagen sowie des nicht mehr zeitgemässen Dreimann-Cockpits und Verbrauchs ist die 727 heute aus dem Passagier-Linienbetrieb nahezu verschwunden. Von den Frachtflugzeugen sind noch ca. 70 in Betrieb.
