	Boeing 707 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Boeing 707 is a four engined commercial passenger jet aircraft developed by Boeing in the early 1950s.
		The 707 was based on a aircraft known as the 367-80.
		Boeing already had considerable experience with this on the B-47 and B-52, and had first developed the yaw damper system on the B-47 that lent itself to later swept wing configurations including the 707.

		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.

		The 7-7 designation that has come to signify Boeing's line of commercial passenger jets was chosen purely for marketing purposes, but the story of the 707 is an interesting one, nonetheless.
		Boeing, like most other aircraft manufacturers, has used an internal numbering system to identify its various designs since the company was founded in 1917.
		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.

		Known to the civilian world as a Boeing 707, the aircraft was the first jet ever designed exclusively for presidential use and used the call sign Air Force One, whenever the President was aboard.
		The smaller, short-range 737 twinjet was the logical airplane to complement the 707 and the 727.
		Boeing's first successful commercial aircraft in the post-war era was the 367-80, called the Dash 80.

		The 707, like all swept wing aircraft, displayed an undesirable "Dutch roll" flying characteristic which manifested itself as a alternating yawing and rolling motion.
		At Seafair on August 6th, 1955, Boeing test pilot Tex Johnston twice performed a "barrel roll" in the Dash-80 at 500 feet, gaining altitude to 1500 feet during the roll.

	THE WTC WAS DESIGNED TO SURVIVE THE IMPACT OF A BOEING 767, SO WHY DIDN'T IT? : Hawai'i IMC (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Since, the Boeing 767 is much more fuel-efficient than the 707, a Boeing 707 traveling the same route would carry significantly more fuel and would therefore be a much greater danger from the perspective of a jet fuel fire.
		So, the Boeing 707 and 767 are very similar aircraft, with the main differences being that the 767 is slightly heavier and more fuel-efficient, and the 707 is faster.
		It is often claimed that the WTC was designed only to withstand the collision of a Boeing 707 that was seeking to land at one of the nearby airports, and that since such aircraft would be low on fuel, only small jet fuel fires were envisaged.

		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.
		Boeing built 855 707s, of which 725 were bought by airlines worldwide.

	HistoryLink Essay: Boeing 707 Turbojet Airliner -- A Snapshot History
		In 1958, Boeing’s first jet airliner, the 707, proved to be the vehicle that finally changed the commercial side of the ledger from red to fl ink.
		The 707, based on the prototype Dash-80 (1954), was the first truly successful jet airliner in service that was built in large numbers (almost twice that of the runner up Douglas DC-8) and which returned a profit to its maker.
		In 1955, Boeing, with its Dash-80 flying prototype and its first jet tanker under construction, was locked in a sales battle with Douglas, which had never built a large jet airplane of its own design, and which was pitching an un-built airplane to the airlines, and winning.

		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.
		At first, Boeing wanted to sell the same size aircraft to the airlines, but the airlines insisted on an even larger airplane, which Douglas promised to build (this became the DC-8).
		Boeing finally relented, designing the 707 as a longer aircraft with a slightly wider fuselage (12 ft 4 in).
