	Boeing 717 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Boeing had apparently skipped the "717" model designation when the 720 (not as some claim, the 727) became the airliner which followed the 707.
		Boeing continued to believe that the 100-passenger market would be lucrative enough to support both the 717 and the 737-600, the smallest of the Next-Generation 737 series.
		The remaining players are Boeing themselves, Airbus with the A318, and Embraer with the EMB 195.

	Boeing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Piasecki Helicopter was acquired by Boeing in 1960, and was reorganized as Boeing's Vertol division.
		In April 1994, Boeing introduced its most modern commercial jet aircraft, the twin-engine 777, with a seating capacity of between 300 and 400 passengers in a standard three class layout, in between the 767 and the B747.
		Boeing officially announced in November, 2005 that it would produce a larger version of the 747, the 747-8, in two models, commencing with a model for two cargo carriers with firm orders for the aircraft.

		Boeing was quick to get rid of the entire MDC commercial product line, save only the MD-95, which was re-named the Boeing 717, and (for a short while longer) the freighter version of the MD-11.
		Perhaps most importantly of all, dropping the 717 would mean abandoning the 100-seat market to arch-rival Airbus and their planned A318: from a marketing point of view, any airline that bought A318s would have a powerful reason to then buy A320s and A321s instead of 737s to take advantage of common parts and crewing.
		The remaining players are Boeing themselves, Airbus with the A318, and Embraer with the ERJ 195.

		But "717" had, in fact, been used by the company to refer to the military version of the 707, which the U.S. Air Force redesignated the KC-135 Stratotanker, which has a smaller cabin diameter than the 707.
		Boeing took a handful of small orders from leasing companies and minor operators, and a second large order, for 50 717s from TWA, but following the dramatic slump in airline traffic caused by reaction to the September 11th incident in the USA, Boeing announced a review of the type's future.
		The last 717 is expected to roll off the assembly line in May, 2006 at Boeing's production facility in Long Beach, California.

		Boeing has 115 sales for its 717-200, plus 13 pending from Hawaiian Airlines, but its top customers for the aircraft (AirTran and Trans World Airlines) are not in the best financial situations.
		Many expected Boeing's purchase of the BA 757s would sway the airline to award it the 717 business, and that BA would prefer the fact that the 717-200 is already in the market.
		Contrary to some reports last week, Boeing says it is not deciding the fate of the 717 by the end of the year.

	AT Special Reports - GRA Examines the Boeing 717
		The 717 is currently available in one version, the -200, which originally was offered with a basic maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of 114,000 pounds and an optional longer range version with an MTOW of 121,000 pounds.
		The 717 competes in the crowded, competitive 100-seat market with the aging DC-9-30 (the bulk of which are now at least 30 years old), the four-engine niche RJ100, the out of production F100 and 737-500 and the Airbus A318 which is scheduled for 2003 initial deliveries.
		To date, however, 717 sales have been slow and the question remains in many observers’ minds as to how long Boeing will continue to support this program in the face of limited sales.

		In early February, the final journey to completion started when the 717 was placed on the factory's innovative moving assembly line, a process shunned at one time by plane manufacturers but that has since been copied by other companies after the 717's success.
		Many 717 workers believe the 717 was doomed the day the Boeing Co. bought and merged with the McDonnell Douglas Corp., which created the MD-95 plane to try to capture the 100-seat, short haul market that its analysts said was ripe for growth, and that became the 717 after the companies merged in 1997.
		Boeing said the demand for planes the size of the 717 — with a seating capacity of 100 passengers was nearly limitless, up to 2,500 planes over the next 20 years.

		The 717 also has a single FAA/JAA build standard, which "allows for the seamless transfer of airplanes" between the US and European registry, said Jim Phillips, vice president and general manager of the Boeing Long Beach Division.
		Boeing said the flight test program revealed even better fuel efficiency, lower airplane noise and lower weight than their original estimates.

		The 100 seat 717 is the latest development of the popular DC-9/MD-80/MD-90 family and the only Douglas airliner which Boeing (which merged with McDonnell Douglas in 1997) plans to retain in its product line-up.
		In January 1998 Boeing (following the August 1997 Boeing/McDonnell Douglas merger) relaunched the aircraft as the 717-200 (the second use of the Boeing designation "717", as this was previously allocated to the military C-135/KC-135 family).

		Boeing Commercial Airplane, which has struggled to find a market for its 717 regional twinjet airliner, has launched a “717 Business Express” version that it believes will find ready acceptance in the business aviation world as a corporate shuttle.
		Although the 717 Business Express is promoted by the company’s commercial aircraft division, Lindberg said that he maintains close ties with Boeing Business Jets, which produces the BBJ and BBJ2 in partnership with General Electric.
		Boeing is convinced that as the scheduled carriers continue to frustrate business travelers with long delays and canceled routes, the 717 Business Express will fill a resulting all-business-class corporate niche.

	Boeing ponders 717 stretch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		But Boeing would have to win enough order commitments to make a sound business case for going ahead with a bigger version of a plane that only a couple years ago was in danger of getting its wings clipped because of lackluster sales since entering service in 1999.
		In a recent filing, Boeing reported what it said was a $250 million "forward loss" on the 717 since it had not reached the 200 orders initially projected for the program.
		If Boeing decided to go ahead with the 717-300, it would do so at a time when its commercial business is focused on developing an all-new super-efficient jetliner dubbed the 7E7.
