	Jet airliner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Most modern long-distance air travel is conducted with jet aircraft, although the fleets of many airlines include a number of smaller turboprop types, typically used for shorter flights to provincial towns, island communities, or airports where topography or adjoining development limits the runway length.
		The first jet airliner was the de Havilland Comet, which first flew in 1949 and entered service in 1952.
		In the 1960s, when jet airliners were powered by slim, low-bypass engines, many aircraft used the rear-engined configuration, such as the Boeing 727, Douglas DC-9, BAC One-Eleven, Hawker Siddeley Trident, Ilyushin Il-62 and Vickers VC-10.

	Douglas DC-8 - Wikpedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		At the time the world's first jet airliner, the de Havilland Comet, was introduced in 1949, Douglas held a commanding position in the aircraft market.
		Douglas were luke-warm about the jet airliner project, but believed that the USAF tanker contract would go to two companies for two different aircraft (as several USAF transport contracts in the past had done).
		One historical oddity associated with the early DC-8s is that the first airliner to exceed the speed of sound (albeit in a shallow dive) was actually a DC-8, on August 21, 1961 at Edwards Air Force Base.

	Air Transportation: The Opening of the Commercial Jet Era
		Airline executives in the postwar era were aware that, although jet engines were simpler than the old piston engines, they also had high operating temperatures that required very expensive metal alloy components that ultimately would affect an aircraft's longevity and reliability.
		As a result, U.S. passenger air carriers did not support the building of jet airliners in the immediate postwar years, and adopted a “wait-and-see” approach before embarking on this risky path.
		One of the more unusual aspects of the coming of the jet era was the speed with which airlines internationally adopted these new aircraft.

		Like all new aircraft types civil or military, the jet airliner was a handful for pilots converting from the older propellor types.
		The comet 1 jets were grounded (permanently) and metal fatigue around the window frames were found to be the cause of the cabin disintegrating.
		The first jet service across the North Atlantic was by a BOAC Comet 4 at the beginning of October 1958 with Pan American flying it's first jet service in competition with BOAC using a Boeing 707 three weeks later.

	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.
		Piston engine airliners were profitable, the Comet saga indicated that more development was necessary, and the high cost of jet airliners and their required infrastructure all conspired against Boeing.

		According to the report, "investigations are focusing on faulty acceleration figures suppied by a device called the Air Data Inertial Reference Unit".
		That was followed by another directive - possibly inspired by the Malaysian Airlines incident - which introduced interim measures to deal with what the FAA identified as an unsafe condition.
		A local Boeing spokesman, Mr Ken Morton, says the company has told operators of the jet - which by the way has the best safety record of any aircraft - to load a previous software version, according to The Australian's report.

		The Canadair Regional Jet - or CRJ - is designed to offer the high speed advantages of much larger jets, with similar standards of service while at the same time offering operating economics, particularly over longer stage lengths, close to that of comparable size turboprops.
		The concept of a stretched airliner derivative of the Challenger is not new, Canadair (now part of Bombardier Aerospace) originally studied a 24 seat stretched development of the CL-600 up to 1981.
		Design studies for a stretched airliner based on the 601 however were first undertaken in 1987, leading Canadair to launch the Regional Jet program on March 31 1989.

		WASHINGTON (AP) - The fighter jet involved in a close encounter with a Nations Air plane two weeks ago stayed on the airliner's tail even as the big jet maneuvered to avoid a collision, the National Transportation Safety Board said Tuesday.
		The planes were in no danger of collision and the fighter jet broke away when instructed to leave by a military air traffic controller, Feith said.
		Peterson, however, acknowledged that the F-16 pilot might have backed off when he was told the unidentified plane was a commercial airliner instead of pursuing it.

	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.
		The prototype jet airliner, built as a private venture by Boeing at a cost of more than $16,000,000, amassed more than 1000 hours in its four years of flight testing, while the first three of the production airplanes used for Civil Aeronautics Administration certification testing raised the overall total to more than 1650 hours.
		Including the prototype, there are eight Boeing jet airliners; the others are the 707-120, the 707-120B, the 707-220, the 707-320, the 707-420, the 720 and the 720B.
