The Boeing 727<\/b> is a narrow-body airliner produced by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. After the heavy 707 quad-jet was introduced in 1958, Boeing addressed the demand for shorter flight lengths from smaller airports. On December 5, 1960, the 727 was launched with 40 orders each from United Airlines and Eastern Air Lines. The first 727-100 rolled out November 27, 1962, first flew on February 9, 1963, and entered service with Eastern on February 1, 1964.<\/p>\n

Boeing’s only trijet is powered by Pratt & Whitney JT8D low-bypass turbofans below a T-tail, one on each side of the rear fuselage and a center one fed through an S-duct. It shares its six-abreast upper fuselage cross-section and cockpit with the 707. The 133\u00a0ft (40.6m) long 727-100 typically carries 106 passengers in two classes over 2,250\u00a0nmi (4,170\u00a0km), or 129 in a single class. Launched in 1965, the stretched 727-200 flew in July 1967 and entered service with Northeast Airlines that December. The 20\u00a0ft (6m) longer variant typically carries 134 passengers in two classes over 2,550\u00a0nmi (4,720\u00a0km), or 155 in a single class. Besides the airliner accommodation, a freighter and a Quick Change convertible version were offered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
