EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment of the Boeing 727 prototype's roll-out on November 27, 1962. The Boeing 727, a triple-engine, short- to medium-range airliner, was a significant advancement in aviation technology during the 1960s. With its innovative design, the 727 was the first commercial airliner to feature a T-tail, which improved both the aircraft's appearance and aerodynamic efficiency. The roll-out ceremony marked the end of the aircraft's production phase and the beginning of its flight testing. The 727 prototype, registration N7271, was the first of 1850 Boeing 727s produced between 1963 and 1984. The aircraft's unique design and advanced features, such as a wide-body fuselage and a twin aisle, made it a popular choice among airlines worldwide. The Boeing 727 was the first commercial jetliner to be produced by Boeing in Seattle, Washington, and it marked a turning point in the company's history. The success of the 727 led Boeing to focus on larger jetliners, such as the 747 and the 767, which further solidified the company's position as a leader in the aviation industry. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the aviation industry during the mid-20th century. The Boeing 727 prototype's roll-out on November 27, 1962, was a significant milestone in the history of flight and a harbinger of the jet age.
