  Boeing 707   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The Boeing 707 is a four engined commercial passenger jet aircraft developed by Boeing in the early 1950s.
Although it was not the first commercial jetliner in service (that distinction belongs to the De Havilland Comet), it was the first one to be commercially successful, and is credited by many as ushering in the "Jet Age", as well as being the first of Boeing's ubiquitous 7x7 range of airliners.
The "genes" of the 707 are still in many of Boeing's current products, most notably the 737, which still uses an adaptation of the 707's fuselage.

 Boeing 707 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pan Am was the first airline to operate the 707; the aircraft's first commercial flight was from New York to Paris on October 26, 1958.
Traces of the 707 are still in many of Boeing's current products, most notably the 737, which uses a modified version of the 707's fuselage.
The 707 is also the platform for the United States Air Force's Joint STARS project, and the United States Navy's E-6 Mercury.

 Boeing 707   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
In fact, the 707 was the first jet aircraft (at the time, the deHavilland Comet was still enduring the serious birth pangs that it never recovered from) in regular service.
The 707 was the mainstay for long-distance domestic, and especially international travel, until the arrival of the Boeing 747 wide-bodied jetliner in 1970.
In another case, a pilot accidently manuevered a 707 into a mud pit, burying the aircraft so firmly in clay mud that all landing gear wheels were completely embedded, and the inboard engine nacelles were almost touching the ground.

 Boeing 707
The Boeing 707 transport was the first of the long-range and, for its day, high-passenger-capacity aircraft that marked the real beginning of the revolutionary jet age in air transportation.
The prototype of the 707 was known in the Boeing Company as the model 367-80, and within the company it has always been referred to as the Dash-Eighty.
The wing of the Boeing 707 is mounted in the low position at the bottom of the fuselage; this wing location has been preferred on transports designed for passenger use since the Boeing 247 and Douglas of the early 1930's.

 Boeing 707 - 767 Comparison
The length of a Boeing 707 is 153 feet.
The Boeing 707 and 767 are very similar aircraft, with the main differences being that the 767 is slightly heavier and the 707 is faster.
Since the Boeing 707 had a higher thrust to weight ratio, it would be traveling faster on take-off and on landing.

 Boeing 707 Jet Transport - USA
The Boeing 707 was the United States' first production jet airliner, and the aircraft with which the US first gained the lead in commercial jet manufacture.
From the start the 707 had accommodation for approximately four times as many passengers as the original British de Havilland Comet I, as well as a considerably higher maximum speed.
This original Boeing 707 was followed by a whole family of 707 passenger and cargo variants, with different lengths and weights, and turbofan power.

 707 Family
In one test series for landing gear, the 707 prototype was outfitted with oversized tires; it landed and took off from mud fields barely able to support the weight of passenger automobiles.
Recent military applications of the 707 are the E-3 Airborne Warning and Control System or AWACS (used by the U.S. Air Force, NATO, the Saudi government and the French and British air forces for airborne surveillance, command and control) and the E-6 used by the U.S. Navy for submarine communications.
When the 707 production line was closed at the end of May 1991, Boeing had sold 1,010 of all types (not counting the KC-135 series).

 BOEING 707
The 707 had its beginning in the early 1950s when the Boeing Company - builder of more heavy military planes than all other aircraft manufacturers combined - decided to return to the civilian market with a brand new jet-powered transport.
Two years later the 707 completed its maiden flight - and found its first customer when the U.S. Air Force ordered 29 of these planes to be fitted out as aerial tankers for the Strategic Air Command.
And the 707 is a long-range transport capable of carrying a full load of passengers for thousands of miles without refueling.

 The History of Commercial Aviation - Boeing 707
De Havilland's redesign of the Comet actually preceded the 707 by a few weeks, but the Comet could only accommodate about half the number of passengers as the 707.
Over the years, the basic design form of the 707 was preserved in many of the Boeing jets which followed.
The standard fuselage width of the 707, for instance, is shared by the 727, the 737 and the 757.

Forerunner of the more than 8,000 Boeing jetliners built since, the prototype, nicknamed the "Dash 80," served 18 years as a flying test laboratory before it was turned over to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in May 1972.
Following the success of the 707, Boeing has developed seven commercial jetliner models, each tailored to specific air route requirements.
Yet another aircraft type that traces its ancestry to the 707 prototype is the U.S. Air Force KC/C-135 tanker-transport/cargo airplane.

 707 or 367?
For inflight refueling at altitude the tankers were pushing hard for speed and te bombers were at risk of wallowing near their minimum safe airspeed.

The 707 also laid the foundations for Boeing's dominance of the jet airliner market.
Recognising the jet engine's potential for commercial aviation, Boeing (at great financial risk) decided to develop a jet powered transport that could fulfil military tanker transport roles but be easily adapted to become an airliner.

Kevin Russell, began his recording career in the late '70s as the leader of rock band, 707, recording 3 albums for Casablanca & Sony, charting on Billboard for tracks as 'I Could Be Good For You' and 'Megaforce'.
In my book, this is the "original" 707, featuring Kevin Russell, NOT the 1998 group of the same name that released "View from the Boulevard" (or something like that...) This is the long-awaited 4th album from this early 80's american group.
Which is unfortunate if you're a big fan of the "707" and "The Second Album" era, which was much more entertaining and captivating.
