The Boeing 727 - Why Was It Built?

When the idea of building a rear-mounted, three-jet-engine aircraft first came about, Boeing was still struggling to build the 707. Adding to the challenge was that some airlines wanted four-engine jets while others wanted a twin. Here is how the 727 came about and why Boeing decided to build it.

So it's 2016 and there's this cookiezi guy who's like number 1 in the game, and then he plays blue zenith ,one of the hardest maps, with the hard rock mod (which makes it even harder). He almost gets to the end, but gets a miss on the final hard part. This play gives him 727 pp (performance points). Then later in 2017, he plays the same map, this time adding the hidden mod as well. But he goes on to miss on the SAME part, and gets 727 pp again! Then in 2020, when the cookiezi guy stopped playing, there was a nother guy called aireu, who was playing one of the most played and most well known farm map of the time. He did that with the double time mod (which makes the song 1.5 times faster), which not a lot of people can do, but even like this he holds the FC (full combo) to the end of the map where he unfortunately misses the end jumps and guess what, just like cookiezi before him, he got 727 pp (performance points). Isn't that funny?

Used to fly into some squirrely places, and never once worried on a 727 with some of the great old ex Military throttle jocks who weren't afraid to pin the throttles. You have no idea what you are missing if you never got to fly back then.

So cool you were a 727 pilot ! What can you say about the aircraft ?! What were some of the problems pilots had ?

@billlawrence1899 3 жыл бұрын

@@wozja One problem for many pilots lay in the fact the 727 came along early in the jet age. Although the 707 and DC-8 were there first, for many the 727 was their first jet. For those who had been flying the old piston propellor "Thumpers" all their lives, this beast that did everything twice as fast as anything they has ever encountered was a problem. It was "slick", and could get away from you if you're not right on top of it. Even compared to the early 707 and the 8, which were kind of lumbering by comparison, it would acceralate and then climb like a "Homesick Angel". However the one trait the 727 had that set it apart from even other jets was it's landing characteristic. With any other airplane, on landing, you get near the ground, throttle back to idle, raise the nose, and settle to the ground. Not with this beast! Do that with a 727 and the bottom drops out and it will hit the ground like a dump truck dropped off a 2 story building, You had to "fly it onto the ground. " Keep the power on until you have arrested the decent with a little back pressure on the yolk just a foot or 2 from tochdown, THEN come off on the power and roll it forward and down. Done right, the wheels will touch down gently. Do it wrong and you get dirty looks and caustic comments from flight attendants and passengers.

The Boeing 727 was the workhorse of Pacific Southwest Airline's (PSA) fleet. As kids, my sister and I must have flown on these planes at least a hundred times between Northern and Southern California. Our parents were divorced and these planes shuttled us back and forth. Back in those days (1970's) parents could go onto the plane, with their kids, and we could tour the cockpit. Good times...

...loved flying on 727s. Enjoyed sitting just behind the wing to watch those massive triple slotted flaps extend during final approach, expanding the effective wing area by about another third. With all the engines in the rear it was relatively quiet inside compared to the 707, 720, DC-8 and Convair 880/990 (hence Eastern's trademark branding of "Whisperjet"), however outside, it was a completely different story. Flown on -100s and -200s as well as the 100 QC (convertible passenger/cargo variant) the latter on Northwest.

The 727 was arguably the most elegant Boeing aircraft. I fondly recall my childhood in South Africa watching the Kulula and Nationwide 727s. I thought I missed the opportunity to catch a flight on this one but was extremely blessed to enjoy two flights on this beauty with Iran Aseman airlines a few years ago. One minor detail I'd like to add/ correct: at 0:50 you zoom into the exhaust of the number 2 engine while talking about the APU. The 727 APU is actually mounted between the main gears (very unusual nowadays) and the exhaust is on the top of the right wing (often leaving black soot marks on the wing). As one of the first aircraft with an APU there was not a standardized location for the APU at that time. The location of the APU also meant that it could only be operated when the gears were down since the APU inlet is in the wheel well. Thanks for the video!

Similar issue as the 737 Max, in which the pilots were not trained regarding MCAS--which was intentional, in order to save money for the airlines--according to most of the information published. In WW2, the Martin Company built the B26 bomber which was known as the "widowmaker"--the twin engine bomber was crashing upon landing quite often. Pilots had to be quickly trained to land "hot" to avoid stalls. A lot of the re-training took place at MacDill Field in Tampa, Florida. Martin quickly made adjustments to the wing size & the B26 became a workhorse for the European theater.

One of my fondest memories was a flight from the UK to New Zealand in the mid 90s aboard the RNZAF 727. From England to Shannon Ireland, on to St John's in Canada onto Washington DC. We were supposed to stop in Denver, Colorado however she was snowed in. We went on to our next destination San Fransisco, then on to Honolulu. The final stop before getting back to New Zealand was America Samoa. Could you imagine doing this trip as a 10 year old aerosexual? I had/have always wanted to be a pilot. Though my colour blindness had/has put a dent in that one.

Buuut with covid 19 its probably not a great industry to get into right now, I'm lucky to still have a job!

Uh, why are we focusing on the number two engine exhaust while listening to a description of the APU, which is located in the right side of the main wheel well? The 727 was indeed designed for shorter runways, but ironically enough the -200 version was immediately labelled as a ground-hugger because of its long takeoff roll when fully loaded. Improved engines eventually lessened the sense of adventure encountered when pushing the throttles forward for takeoff. I first flew on the 727 in 1965 on a local flight from and to Tulsa, a twenty-dollar promotional flight American provided to familiarize people with the comfort of flying on its latest airliner. Working for various airlines, I flew on the 727 as a passenger many times in the 70s and 80s. No airplane before or since has given me such a sense of being at home in the air and safely on the way to my destination as soon as it left the ground. Can't explain it, but a lot of other people seem to feel the same way.

G'day Simple, I had a good mate who flew C-47s with the RAAF during WW2. He later flew for one of our domestic carriers; firstly on the few remaining DC-3s then on Viscounts and Electras before converting to the 727. He retired his flying career on 727s. He told me he would always love his old Dakotas, but stressed he thought the 727 was the best commercial aircraft he'd flown. He told me he could have 'put it down' just about anywhere and get it into fields that had never seen a large multi-engined aircraft before. I always enjoyed flying on the 727 but that was back when airlines didn't pack in passengers like sardines. It might have been noisy to outsiders but if you were seated anywhere forward of the wings it was an amazingly quiet flight. Many were sorry to see it go. As for the 737 MAX, although it may come back to us as the safest, most over engineered and most examined airframe in the world, I'll still give it a bit of time in the air before I'll book seats.

The difference with the MAX is they were born in different eras and different companies. In the 60 Boeing was a company bringing dreams back to reality and managed by people that was close to the aviation industry and eng. The Boeing Company from 2016 when MAX roll off is a giant compnay managed by accountants with its eng dept isolated from their factories and no one is taking the blame. Two different companies. They will certify the MAX, eventually, but this wasn a 60s jet failing, like most of the jet struggled in this period ... this was avoidable and alamrs were not listened and they waited two crashes to accept it. The 727 is a TANK, the MAX is a SHAME.

I've been seeing this plane every other day in the airport cause thats where my parents work when I was a kid and I always spend few observing its fine lines trying to understand the functions of its control surfaces and slots and I also notice, its bigger, longer flaps and ailerons or flaperons

You mentioned DB Cooper? My country had a war plan where paratroopers would deploy from, using the aft airstairs, plus commando would use it for rapid deployment

When I did a lot of travelling in the early eighties, I’d fly on the 727 and DC9. I far preferred the 727.

My favorite Airliner of all time. 727-200-151. early accidents were due to pilots flying by the seat of their pants. it handled like a military jet. The fastest production airliner before Concorde.

My first ride in an aircraft was a 737. Entered and exited through the tail. Smooth ride, but loud.

On 9/11/2001 I towed a 727 off the gate to a parking area. I shut down the APU and came down the rear stairs of the plane. A eerie sound of an airport with no noise stuck me, just the wind. That day changed the travel industry. The 727 was the queen of the airline I worked at, lucky I made it to the end after 38 years. But when I was standing there wondered if I would make it to retirement. The plane was soon retired after that.

It is funny that a few thousand changed the airline industry permanently but we are currently looking at a hundred times as many from a virus. Spread by travel. Will there be permanent changes to protect us from such a much larger threat? I am not confident of that.
