Boeing 727-224 Aircraft - photo wallpapers; Megawallpapers.org : The Boeing 727 is a mid-size, single-aisle (narrow-body) [br]commercial jet airliner. It first took to the skies in 1963 and was, [br]for a very long time, the most popular jet-liner in the world. 1,831 [br]727s were delivered. In August 2006 a total of 127 Boeing 727-100 aircraft and 493 Boeing 727-200 aircraft remain in airline service. The 727 design arose as a compromise between United Airlines, American Airlines, and Eastern Air Lines [br]over the configuration of a jet airliner to service smaller cities [br]which often had shorter runways and correspondingly smaller passenger [br]demand. United Airlines wanted a four-engined aircraft for its flights to high-altitude airports, especially its hub at Stapleton International Airport [br]at Denver, Colorado. American wanted a twin-engined aircraft for [br]efficiency reasons. Eastern wanted a third engine for its overwater [br]flights to the Caribbean. Eventually, the three airlines agreed on a trijet, [br]and thus the 727 was born. The 727 featured high lift devices on its [br]wing, thus being one of the first jets to be able to operate from [br]airports offering modest runway lengths. Later models of the 727 were [br]stretched to accommodate more passengers and they ended up replacing [br]earlier jet airliners, such as its sibling the 707, on domestic routes.[br]Country of origin: USA [br]_________________________________________________________________________________________________ [br]Engines: three Pratt & Whitney JT8D-9A turbofans of 6575 kg (14,500lb) thrust each [br]_________________________________________________________________________________________________ [br]Wingspan: 32.9 m (108ft) [br]_________________________________________________________________________________________________ [br]Lenght: 46.7 m (153ft 2in) [br]_________________________________________________________________________________________________ [br]Height: 10.35 m (34ft) [br]_________________________________________________________________________________________________ [br]Weight loaded: 95,025 kg (209,500lb) [br]_________________________________________________________________________________________________ [br]Cruising speed: 920 km/h (570mph) at 7620 m (25,000ft) [br]_________________________________________________________________________________________________ [br]Service celling: 11,900 m (39,000ft) [br]_________________________________________________________________________________________________ [br]Range: 4000km (2485 miles) [br]_________________________________________________________________________________________________ [br]Passengers + crew: 189 + 3 [br]_________________________________________________________________________________________________
