Description

Like the Boeing B-47 bomber, the "Dash-80", as it was known, had a 35-degree sweep to its wings. It had four Pratt & Whitney JT3P turbojets mounted in pods on the wings. The first flight took place on October 5, 1954. The first sale was to the United States Air Force, which bought the tanker/transport concept, and ultimately purchased more than 600 of the aircraft. The "Dash-80" was redesigned as the model 707 for marketing purposes, and quickly established itself as the new wave in aircraft, making all of the standard four-piston engine transports obsolete overnight. The 707 had stiff competition with the Douglas DC-8, but Boeing was a more aggressive company, and marketed not only a wide variety of 707 models to suit its target market, but also introduced later models including the 727 and 737.
