Boeing 727: książki - historia, modele i technika

Boeing 727: Triumph in the Skies

First flown in 1963, the Boeing 727 was skillfully designed to outclass its competitors and remained without a direct rival for nearly two decades. This jetliner was capable of being operated from short, unimproved airfields, while requiring minimal ground service equipment. In flight, it was a dreamfast, efficient, quiet, and comfortable.

Although this book is about an airplane, it is as much about the people at Boeing who were undaunted and took the financial risks necessary to build a truly outstanding machine. Readers will learn technical aspects of the 727, along with taking a close look at the brilliant minds and reasoning behind the design through personal interviews and examining archival data.
For the hobbyist, a model-building chapter is also included, which covers techniques for both first-time and experienced modelers.

Boeing 727

The three-engine Boeing 727 is a passenger aircraft for short and medium-haul flights. Until it was replaced by the 737, it was the most-built jet airliner in the world for a while.

The elegant aircraft opened up new markets for airlines and could be found at almost all airports in the world for several decades. Lufthansa also used this aircraft from 1964 with over 50 units.
Due to increased noise protection requirements and the outdated three-man cockpit and fuel consumption, the 727 has almost disappeared from scheduled passenger service today. Around 70 of the cargo aircraft are still in operation.

In this volume, Wolfgang Borgmann examines the complete history of the Boeing 727.
