The Boeing 727 History:
By the time the 707 had entered service, Boeing realized that a need existed for a shorter range aircraft for domestic service. Over 70 possible configurations for this new aircraft were considered before Boeing selected a design emphasizing commonality with the 707 and 720 to lower costs.
However, the 727 departed from these designs by using a three-engine arrangement, with all three located at the rear of the aircraft. The advantages of this arrangement included a reduction in wing structural requirements while promoting improved wing aerodynamics. The 727 also incorporated thrust-reversing engines and an advanced flap system to reduce landing field length.
The versatility and reliability of the Boeing 727 -- first trijet introduced into commercial service -- made it the best-selling airliner in the world during the first 30 years of jet transport service. The jet age essentially began in 1952 with the introduction of the British-designed de Havilland Comet. Several jetliners, including the Boeing 707, were developed before the 727, but none came close to its sales record.
On Dec. 5, 1977, the worldwide 727 fleet carried its one billionth (1,000,000,000) passenger -- a mark never attained before by a commercial aircraft. Today, the number has reached well over 4 billion.
