The first model of the jet, the 747-100, rolled out of the new Everett facility on 2 September 1968. The prototype, named "City of Everett", first flew on February 9, 1969, and on January 1, 1970 the 747-100 entered service with launch customer Pan American World Airways. It was later replaced by the 747-100B, a very similar aircraft with a stronger airframe and undercarriage design. The basic 100 has a range of about 4,500 miles (7,200 km) with full load.

Boeing 747 - Specific accidents.
The 747 has been involved in a number of air disasters. However, very few have been due to design flaws in the aircraft itself: as with most air accidents, most have been because of human error, improper maintenance, or in a few cases, terrorist or military action.
Lufthansa flight 540, Nairobi, 1974
Tenerife disaster, 1977
Air-India flight 855, Arabian Sea, 1978

The Japanese participants are no longer junior partners.
Boeing will assemble the aircraft and manufacture its forward fuselage, tail fin, ailerons, flaps, and slats. For its entire history, Boeing has jealously guarded its techniques for designing and mass producing commercial jetliner wings. Due to economic realities, the wings ...

| | | | | 757: Encyclopedia II - Boeing 737 - History The 737 was born out of Boeing's need to field a competitor in the short-range, small capacity jetliner market which had been opened up by the BAC 1-11 and the Douglas DC-9. Boeing was badly behind however when the 737 program was initiated in 1964, as both of these rivals were already into their flight certification programmes. To speed up the development time, Boeing reused as much technology from the existing 707 and 727 as possible, most notably the fuselage. This gave the 737 a critical advantage over the opposition - six abreast seating compared to the 1-11 and DC-9's five abreast layout, and also made ...

| | | | | 757: Encyclopedia II - Du Fu - Influence In his lifetime, and immediately following his death, Du Fu was not greatly appreciated. In part this can be attributed to his stylistic and formal innovations, some of which are still "considered extremely daring and bizarre by Chinese critics" (Hawkes, p. 4). However, as Hung notes, he "is the only Chinese poet whose influence grew with time" (p. 1), and in the ninth century he began to increase in popularity. With time, his innovations began to seem less radical, and hindsight could appreciate the historical aspects of his poems better th ...

| | | | | 757: Encyclopedia II - Boeing 2707 - Mounting opposition By this point, the opposition to the project was becoming increasingly vocal. Environmentalists were the most influential group, voicing concerns about possible depletion of the ozone layer due to the high altitude flights, and about noise at airports and from sonic booms. The latter became particularly significant, the #1 cause to rally around, and supersonic flight over land was eventually banned. The project suffered political opposition from the left, who disliked the government subsidizing the development of a commercial aircraft to be ...

| | | | | 757: Encyclopedia II - Boeing 727 - History The 727 design arose as a compromise between United Airlines, American Airlines, and Eastern Airlines over the configuration of the successor to the Boeing 707. United Airlines wanted a four-engined aircraft for its flights to high-altitude airports, especially its hub at Stapleton International Airport. American wanted a twin-engined aircraft for efficiency reasons. Eastern wanted a third engine for its overwater flights to the Caribbean. Eventually, the three airlines agreed on a t ...

| | | | | 757: Encyclopedia II - Boeing 777 - History In the 1970s, Boeing unveiled new models: the twin-engine 757, to replace the venerable 727; and the twin-engine 767 to challenge the Airbus A300, and a trijet 777 to compete with the DC-10 and the Lockheed TriStar.
Based on a re-winged 767 design, the 275 seat 777 was to be offered in two variants: a 5,000 km (2,700 nm) transcontinental and an 8,000 km (4,320 nm) intercontinental.
The twinjets were a big success, due in part to the 1980s ETOPS regulations. The launch of the 777 was cancelled (much like the trijet concept of th ...

| | | | | 757: Encyclopedia II - Boeing 2707 - Early studies Boeing had been working on a number of small-scale studies on supersonic transport (SST) designs since 1952, but set up a permanent research committee in 1958 which grew to a $1 million effort by 1960. They proposed a number of alternative designs, all under the name Model 733. Most of their designs were built on the basis of a large delta wing, but in 1959 another design was offered as an offshoot of Boeing's efforts in the swing-wing TFX project (which led to the purchase of the General Dynamics F-111 instead of the Boeing offering) ...

| | | | | 757: Encyclopedia II - Boeing 727 - Design The 727 proved very successful with airlines worldwide partly because of its capability to take off and land on smaller runways while still flying medium range routes. This effectively allowed airlines to attract passengers from cities with large populations but smaller airports to worldwide tourist destinations. One of the features that gave the 727 its ability to land on shorter runways was its unique wing design. Through flap extension and leading edge slat deployment, the 727 could almost double its wing surface area, allowing it to fly ...
