Boeing 367-80 so the students can visually see what it looked liked.
To close the lesson, I will have a few of the students read their journal entries and then we will make a list of similarities and differences between the Boeing 367-80 and the planes we have already talked about.
  It had a great video that was all abut the Boeing 367-80 and a very cool letter written by the pilot of the first fly of the Boeing 367-80.

The Dash 80 presently resides in a hanger at Boeing Field, awaiting adequate display space at The National Air and Space Museum.
In 1990 Boeing reclaimed the Dash 80 from the desert and transported it back to Boeing Field for restoration.
In 1991, the restored Dash 80 made a flight over Boeing headquarters to celebrate the 75th anniversary of company.

 Boeing 367-80
By the time Boeing progressed to the 80th iteration, the design bore no resemblance to the C-97 but, for security reasons, Boeing decided to let the jet project be known as the 367-80.
Built by the Boeing Aircraft Company, the 367-80, better known as the Dash 80, would come to revolutionize commercial air transportation when its developed version entered service as the famous Boeing 707, America's first jet airliner.
As Boeing had done with the B-17, it risked the company on one roll of the dice and won.

 CNN.com - Historic jetliner makes final flight - Aug. 28, 2003
The Boeing 367-80, a prototype that would become known as the Dash-80, revolutionized commercial air travel in the 1950s when a fully developed version called the 707 took to the skies.
The Boeing 367-80 lands this week at Washington Dulles International Airport.
Boeing's plane grabbed a pivotal share of commercial air travel at a time when the world's first jetliner, the British-made de Havilland Comet, had been grounded for failures in flight.

 Boeing Airplane That Changed History Reaches 50th Anniversary
The Boeing 367-80 airplane, commonly known as the "Dash 80," was publicly unveiled on May 14, 1954.
The prototype of the Boeing 707 -- the world's first commercially successful jet-powered passenger plane -- the Dash 80 helped forever change commercial aviation.
The airplane is shown here at its display location inside the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center near Washington, D.C.'s Dulles International Airport.

 Aerospaceweb.org Ask Us - Boeing 707 History
Owing to its legacy as a derivative of the Model 367 and in an effort to maintain secrecy, the new project was dubbed the Model 367-80, popularly known as the "Dash-80" by Boeing employees.
Known internally as the Model 367, the KC-97 was a piston-engined derivative of the B-29 developed as an in-flight refueling tanker for the B-47 and B-52.
Although Boeing was eager to develop a jet-powered airliner to replace the Model 377, the company knew that airlines would not commit to the enormous development costs required.

 Boeing 707
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.
Although many people have described the KC-135 as a military version of the Boeing 707 airliner they are actually two totally different aircraft although they are both developments of the Boeing model 367-80.
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.

 Bridging the Gap
After flight tests began in July 1954, Boeing began to modify the initial 367-80 designs in order for it to succeed as a commercial airliner.
Production go-ahead for the Boeing 367-80 was announced on August 30, 1952, as a company-financed $16 million investment.
The Boeing Aircraft Company, maker of the B-17 Flying Fortress and B-29 Superfortress, emerged from WW II as the leading builder of large aircraft.

 707 or 367?
Boeing's first internal design studies for jet transports were done by separate groups, one using model number 367 and the other using model number 473.
Early studies explored derivatives of the 367 design, and model number 367-80 means the 80th design of the 367, but by the time the 707 took shape it was clearly not a 367 at all.
The KC-97 tanker version of the Boeing model 367 was in service and was slow in comparison to the new B-47 and B-52 jet bombers.

 Johnston Bio (94)
William Boeing had christened the Dash 80 as "The Airplane of Tomorrow.
In the early 1960's, Johnston was Assistant Program Manager for Boeing's X-20 Dyna Soar, a precursor to the Space Shuttle.
The aircraft led to the KC-135 Stratotanker and the 707 airliner.

 KC-135 Stratotanker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Boeing's 367-80 was the basic design for the commercial Boeing 707 passenger aircraft as well as the KC-135A Stratotanker.
The Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker is an aerial refueling tanker aircraft, first manufactured in 1956 and expected to remain in service into the 2020s.
It seems likely that the KC-135 fleet will be replaced by the Boeing KC-767 Tanker Transport, which was selected in competition with the Airbus A330 MRTT.

 50° anniversario del Boeing 707/50th Anniversary for the Boeing 707
Boeing developed the Dash 80 with its own investment of $16 million, equivalent to $110 million in today's dollars.
The airplane was the prototype for the Boeing 707, the first successful commercial jet, and the U.S. Air Force's KC-135 aerial-refueling airplane.
Boeing employees and retirees restored both airplanes for the museum.

 Super70s.com: Boeing 707
The Boeing 367-80 prototype made its first flight on July 15, 1954 with Boeing Chief Test Pilot Tex Johnston at the controls (check out our story of this memorable flight by a Boeing engineer who was there).
This was a surprise to some as Boeing was then known as a defense contractor (with less than 1% of the civilian aircraft market) while Lockheed, with its Super Constellations, and Douglas, with its DC-6s, were the leaders in civilian aircraft.
Boeing 707s are used in the military in a variety of capacities.

 Boeing 367-80 - 2006
Seventy-two-year-old William Boeing came back to visit his former company for the May 14, 1954, rollout of the Model 367-80 at the Renton, Washington, plant.
The Boeing Company had invested $16 million (two-thirds of the company's net profits from the post-war years) to build this prototype for a long-range jet aircraft.
Boeing salespeople directed their efforts to Pan American World Airways, Trans World Airlines and large European airlines.

In 1991, the National Air and Space Museum and the Boeing Company made arrangements to begin work on the Museum's Boeing Model 367-80 (the prototype for the 707).
In June 1994, Boeing employees restored the S-307 Stratoliner to temporary airworthiness condition and flew it to Seattle, Washington.
In 1944 these Stratoliners were returned to TWA control, refurbished at the Boeing factory in Seattle and re-designated the SA-307B-1.

 kingcountyjournal.com - Boeing Country: Downsizing may affect execs, too
The historic Boeing Model 367-80, the prototype of the KC-135 aerial tanker and 707 jetliner, landed in Washington, D.C. about 11 a.m.
E-series is Boeing code for the high-priced help, who have responsibilities to match: people who are paid incentive compensation, among other things.
The three historic planes were parked in a restricted part of the airport, said Boeing spokesman Chuck Cadena, so the reception was not open the public.

 Boeing 367-80
With wing-span or 130 feet, length of 128 feet and tail height of over 38 feet, the Boeing 707 will carry 80 to 130 passengers and cruise between 30,000 and 40,000 feet.
Remarks by Johan Visschedijk: "This grandfather of all Boeing jet-transport, built in 1954, was usually referred to as “Dash Eighty” and was flown to Washington, D.C. in August 2003.
