About Boeing 727-224
Boeing 727-224 Aircraft - photo wallpapers; Megawallpapers.org : The Boeing 727 is a mid-size, single-aisle (narrow-body)
commercial jet airliner. It first took to the skies in 1963 and was,
for a very long time, the most popular jet-liner in the world. 1,831
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
over the configuration of a jet airliner to service smaller cities
which often had shorter runways and correspondingly smaller passenger
demand. United Airlines wanted a four-engined aircraft for its flights to high-altitude airports, especially its hub at Stapleton International Airport
at Denver, Colorado. 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 trijet,
and thus the 727 was born. The 727 featured high lift devices on its
wing, thus being one of the first jets to be able to operate from
airports offering modest runway lengths. Later models of the 727 were
stretched to accommodate more passengers and they ended up replacing
earlier jet airliners, such as its sibling the 707, on domestic routes.
