	Boeing 727 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eventually, the three airlines agreed on a trijet, and thus the 727 was born.
		Since the 727 proved to be a reliable and versatile airliner that came to form the core of many start-up airlines' fleets, it is sometimes described as the "DC-3 of the Jet Age." Even as the larger 747s came about in 1970, international airlines still needed the 727.
		Also, the 727 was one of the last airliners in service to have a three-person crew, including a flight engineer, a crewmember whose job is performed by computerized systems on newer planes.

	Boeing 7J7 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Boeing 7J7 was a short- to medium-range airliner proposed by Boeing in the 1980s, but never built.
		It would have carried 150 passengers and was touted as the successor to the successful Boeing 727.
		Boeing cancelled the 7J7 in 1987 and instead concentrated its resources on further developments of the Boeing 737 and the Boeing 757.

		Boeing also wanted to take a larger share of the short-haul aircraft orders that in the mid-to-late 1950's appeared to be going only to turboprop aircraft such as the Lockheed Electra, Vickers Vanguard (a larger version of the smaller but better-known Viscount), and the Fokker F-27 Friendship.
		Boeing believed that if it could "graft" the basic six-abreast 707 cabin dimensions on to the 727, many 707 operators would be attracted to the commonality and higher passenger and cargo capacity.
		The 727 represented Boeing's first attempt to produce a "family" of jet aircraft after the 707/720 series: an aircraft with a distinct mission yet with many features that were common from an operational perspective.

		The 727 is one of the most massively produced airliners around, with over 1,800 models having been built between 1962 and 1984.

		The versatility and reliability of the Boeing 727 -- first trijet introduced into commercial service -- made it the best-selling airliner in the world during the first 30 years of jet transport service.
		With sophisticated, triple-slotted trailing edge flaps and new leading-edge slats, the 727 had unprecedented low-speed landing and takeoff performance for a commercial jet and could be accommodated by smaller airports than the 707 required.
		Today, the Boeing 737 has surpassed that total, but the 727 holds a permanent place in the annals of aviation as one of the most significant airplanes in the development of the world's jet transportation system.

		In 1956 Boeing began studies for a plane able to use smaller airfields than the 707/720 and for use on short/medium length routes.
		Boeing opted for a t-tail, tri-jet configuration similar to the aircrafts rival, the DH.121 Trident.
		Boeing had been considering the 727-300 but world economics and the impending arrival of the 757 meant that the aircraft was never built.

		Boeing persisted however and serious development of the 727 beginning in June 1959.
		The 727 retained the 707's fuselage cross section, but with a redesigned smaller lower fuselage due to the need to carry less baggage on shorter range flights, and it has limited parts commonality with the 707 and 720.

	Boeing 727
		Boeing began studies of a short/medium range passenger jet as early as 1956; however, development had to wait until sales of the 707 had proven the passenger jet concept.
		The 727 pioneered the rear trijet configuration as it gave better climb performance than a two engines and was more economical than four.
		The 727 kept the same fuselage cross-section as the 707.

	FlightSim.Com Review: Captain Sim Boeing 727
		The 727 was not only the first trijet introduced into commercial service, it was the best selling jet airliner right up to the 1980s - a record it would still hold were it not for the Boeing 737.
		Boeing are justifiably proud of the fact that 101 different airline customers purchased new 727s and while the major U.S. airlines have retired their oldest airframes, many are still operating their younger 727-200s.
		In my experience the 727 requires the pitch wound so far aft that it is at the very bottom or even just outside the normal range on take off and if you set the pitch then and never adjust it back again, you are in for trouble.

		Boeing's faithful 727 was once the most popular plane in the skies.
		Eventually, the three airlines agreed on a tri-jet, and thus the 727 was born.
		Boeing even made a 727 variant that had a large door on the main deck so the plane could switch from passenger to cargo work with ease.

		The 727 first took to the skies in 1963, and entered service a year later - much earlier than its bigger and more famous sister the Boeing 747.
		The 727 was also designed to be used at smaller, regional airports which meant that independence from what may be non-existent ground facilities was an important requirement.
		By the turn of the 21st century the 727 was still a vital part of some major American airlines' fleets (United, American, Delta, Northwest, Continental, Alaska, to name a few), but events would soon change that.

		However, the 727 departed from these designs by using a three-engine arrangement, with all three located at the rear of the aircraft.
		Although the 727 was even more economical to operate than initially anticipated, sales in the early 1960s were somewhat disappointing.
		Boeing then proceeded with an enlarged 727, the 727-200, capable of carrying up to 189 passengers or more fuel.

		This resulted in the 727-200, which Boeing announced it was developing in August 1965.
		The 727-200 was essentially a minimum change development of the 100, the only major change being the 6.10m (20ft) fuselage stretch, which increased maximum seating to 189 passengers.
		However the 200 was restricted by its relatively short range, due to it having the same fuel capacity as the 727-100, so Boeing developed the increased range Advanced 727-200.

		But the 727 was about to become the centrepiece of one of the strangest mysteries in aviation history, one that would alarm Western governments and baffle investigators around the world.
		Africa is one of them, and whoever was at the controls of the Boeing 727 - registration number N844AA - on the afternoon of May 25 must have known the possibilities of what pilots call the "gauntlet" - the vast, virtually uncontrolled airspace south of the Sahara Desert and north of the Limpopo River.
		The Boeing was said to be in the hands of "a member of West Africa's Lebanese business community" who was using it to run goods between Conakry and Beirut.

		When Boeing received an order for 20 Boeing 707s from Pan American in 1955, Douglas still had the edge, as evidenced by Pan Am's order for 25 DC-8s on the same day.
		Certainly, Boeing had flown the Model 367-80 as a prototype on July 15, 1954 and had great confidence in the first 707 when it first flew on December 20, 1957.
		Including the longer-fuselage -200 series, no less than 1,832 Boeing 727s came off the production line, a record that was not to be broken until another of the types based on the 707 fuselage cross-section, the Boeing 737, broke the 2,000-order mark in 1986.

	Boeing 727-200 by Don Hinton (Airfix 1/144)
		The elegant Boeing 727 was introduced into service in February 1964 and became an immediate hit with the world’s airlines.
		The 727 became the best-selling airliner in history with 1,831 produced, eventually being surpassed by the 737.
		Since the 727 fuselage is all aluminum and I didn’t want drastically different dissimilar panels, I added 20% Model Master Metalizer buffing Titanium to Model Master Metalizer buffing Aluminum and sprayed the fuselage again, spraying right over the panels masked with Micro Mask.

	AVSIM Boeing 727 Panel Review
		After 35 years of loyal service, the Boeing 727 is still going strong.
		Having just seen a real 727 flight deck a couple of days ago at work, I can say that this panel gives a higher level of realism than some of the other 727 panels I've seen and used.
		I feel United's old paint job is better than their new one, which is why I picked the old scheme.The aircraft is very stable at cruise altitude (no roller coaster effect) and one worth using with this panel.The aircraft climbs very well.
