Boeing 727-200 model airplanes

(several airlines available)

Even before the Boeing 707 was ready for service, the company had realized the desirability of complementing this airplane with a new short/medium range airliner, and in February, 1956, began to study the market and its requirements. This new airplane would need good takeoff and landing characteristics for the average runway length that was then general. Operation over "short-haul" routes required an effective solution to a nasty problem: the provision of the highest possible cruising speed at the lowest possible altitude, while holding seat/mile cost to a minimum figure. Shortstage lengths meant also a higher proportion of landings in relation to flight hours, affecting not only the design of the landing gear, but also of servicing access to the airplane to cater for the increased number of "turnarounds", which are non-revenue periods. And with the capability of operating into and out of smaller airports, often nearer to city centers, the question of engine noise might prove a critical factor in determining final acceptance or rejection of an airplane design. It is not surprising, therefore, that Boeing's Preliminary Design Group spent some three years in examining almost 70 different design proposals. With estimates suggesting a potential market for 300 or more aircraft, the first Model 727, a production airplane with United Airlines insignia, made its maiden flight on February 9, 1963. Sales were not up to expectations, and by late 1964 it had become clear to Boeing's management that there was a growing demand for a higher-capacity short-range transport airplane, and the decision to develop a stretched version (10 ft. longer fuselage) of the Model 727, the 727-200, proved the turning point in the marketing of this aircraft. Model sales totaled 1,831 airplanes when production ended in the early 1980s. The 727-200 was standard with three 14,500-lb. thrust Pratt & Whitney JT8D-9A turbofans, giving the airplane (at maximum takeoff weight) a maximum speed of 621 mph at 20,500 feet, economic cruising speed of 570 mph at 24,700 feet, and a maximum range with maximum payload of 2,487 miles.
