10月2日 B-47 Stratojet in FlightAt the time of its first flight, Dec. 17, 1947, the B-47 Stratojet represented a radical departure from traditional design, and it set the design standards for all large jet aircraft until the present time. The six-engine Boeing B-47 was America's first multiengine swept-wing jet bomber. Its thin 116-foot wing was extraordinarily flexible and swept back at a 35-degree angle. Eighteen small rocket units in the fuselage provided jet-assisted takeoff (JATO), and parachutes cut its landing speeds. Later models were powered by 5,200-pound-thrust axial-flow jet engines, and top speeds were 600 mph. A total of 2,032 B-47s in all versions were built. F3H-2M Demon with Sparrow MissilesMcDonnell F3H Demon (1951-1959): The F3H Demon was the first swept-wing jet fighter designed by McDonnell Aircraft and the only single-engine carrier based fighter built by the company. Design began in 1949, and the Demon made its first flight on August 7, 1951. However, development of the plane's original engine was delayed an in 1953 the Demon was redesigned around a more powerful engine. The new engine greatly improved the plane's performance and in 1956 the Demon was fully qualified as a first line fighter for the U.S. Navy. The F3H-2M Demon, first flown in 1955, was the first aircraft designed to be armed only with missiles rather than guns. In 1958, flying day and night, the Demon provided all-weather fleet defense during critical operations over Lebanon in the Mediterranean, and off Quemoy Island near China in the Far East. McDonnell Aircraft delivered the last of 522 F3H Demons in 1959. 3-Two AV-8B Harrier IIs in FlightIn 1998, the AV-8B Harrier was the only fixed-wing vertical short-takeoff-and landing (V/STOL) aircraft in operational service in the world. After the Harrier II entered service in 1983, the United States, Spain, and Italy together developed the radar-equipped AV-8B Harrier II Plus that first flew Sept. 22, 1992. The AV-8B served during Operation Desert Storm and was launched from amphibious ships for Operation Enduring Freedom. 2-B1-B Lancer on Landing FieldThe North American B-1 was a swing-wing bomber intended for high-speed, low-altitude penetration missions. By the end of 1977, three B-1As had made 118 flights totaling 646 hours of flying time, with more than 21 hours at supersonic speeds. Production was canceled June 30, 1977. However, in 1982, the Air Force ordered 100 B-1Bs. The first was delivered June 29, 1985. Currently, the B-1B holds 36 world records in speed, range, and payload capacity. Its operating altitude is 60,000 feet, and it has a range of 7,455 miles. Copyright © Boeing.

However, after the merger of McDonnell and Douglas, the stretched DC-9-80 was marketed as the MD-80 and launched a new generation of McDonnell Douglas commercial airliners. The MD-80, a quiet, fuel-efficient twinjet, was certified by the Federal Aviation Administration in August 1980 and entered airline service in October 1980. The MD-80’s nonstop range is from 1,500 to 2,700 statute miles, and, can hold up to 172 passengers, depending on the model F4H-1 Phantom, F-101B Voodoo and F-101A Voodoo Flying in FormationMcDonnell F-101 Voodoo (1954-1961): The F-101 Voodoo evolved from McDonnell's XF-88 long range fighter developed for the U.S. Air Force in the late 1940s. The F-101 flew for the first time on September 29, 1954, and went supersonic on its first flight. Three versions of the Voodoo were built: fighter/bomber (F-101 A/C), long-range interceptor (F-101B), and photo-reconnaissance (RF-101 A/C). The Air Force Command's Strategic, Tactical, and Air Defense used the multi-mission Voodoo. The F-101 set a speed record in 1957 if 1,207 mph and could fly 1,500 miles without refueling. Reconnaissance Voodoos played a critical role in the Cuban missile crisis of 1962, flying low-level supersonic missions to provide conclusive evidence of the Soviet buildup in Cuba. One Voodoo skimmed so low over the island that it almost hit a volleyball being tossed by a Russian technician during a game. Production of all versions of the Voodoo totaled 807 737 Family ShotThe best-selling Boeing 737 started as a smaller, short-range jet, and 19 737-200s were sold as T-43 Air Force trainers. Models 737-300, -400, and -500 were followed by the Next-Generation 737-600, -700, -800, -900, and the luxurious Boeing Business Jet. The Boeing Next-Generation 737s are the most advanced single-aisle airplanes in the market today. While these new airplanes retain the characteristics that made 737 classics so popular worldwide; reliable, simple and economical to operate; they underwent dramatic revisions. On Sept. 5, 1994, the 737-800 was launched with commitments from customers for more than 40 of the airplanes. The first delivery was to German carrier Hapag-Lloyd in the spring of 1998. The 737-700 also is used for Project Wedgetail, an airborne early warning and control system for the Royal Australian Air Force, and for the U.S. Navy's C-40A Navy-Unique Fleet Essential Aircraft (NUFEA) 767-400ER and 757-300 Side by Side in FlightThe Boeing 767, first flew in 1981 and the 757 first flew in 1982. The 767 and the 757 flight decks have many similarities so pilots can fly either airplane with minimal differences in training. 767 and 757 in Flight TogetherThe Boeing 767, first flew in 1981 and the 757 first flew in 1982.

It also has the capability to fly up to 7,670 nautical miles. It is 231 feet 10 inches long, and its tail is taller than a six-story building. Since entering service in 1970, it has been produced in more than 20 versions, including freighters, convertibles, combis and many 'special-use' models. 747 airplane variants include model 747-100 jets that became Shuttle Carriers, 747-200B jets modified to become Air Force Ones, a 747 jet airframe used for the Advanced Airborne Command Post (E-4), and a 747-400 Freighter used as a platform for the Airborne Laser (ABL). The new longer-range 747-400ER was launched in 2000 and is available in both passenger and freighter versions First 777-300ER in ManufacturingThe 777 family of airplanes provides the unparalleled level of flexibility, economy and capability originally envisioned with the launch of the program in 1990. The 777 is the widest, most spacious airplane in its class and includes improvements in airfoil technology, flight deck design, passenger comfort and interior flexibility. Its greater payload and range capability result in lower operating costs to airlines, and its standard equipment includes many features that are optional on other airliners. The Model 777 was the first jetliner to be 100 percent digitally designed using three-dimensional computer graphics. Throughout the design process, the airplane was preassembled on the computer, eliminating the need for a costly, full-scale mock-up. On Feb. 15, 1996, the 777 was named winner of the prestigious Robert J. Collier Trophy by the U.S. National Aeronautic Association. The award honored the 777 as the top aeronautical achievement of 1995 Night Shot of B-29 Superfortress ManufacturingThe Boeing B-29, the most technologically advanced airplane produced during World War II, first flew Sept. 21, 1942. At 105,000 pounds, it was the world's heaviest production airplane. It was the first bomber with crew-cabin pressurization and remotely controlled power turrets. A total of 3,970 B-29s were built, with improvements added to the bombers as they went through the production line as data came in from pilots in action. World War II ended when two B-29s, the Enola Gay and Bockscar dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. SST Super Sonic Transport Landing Gear Wheels with SST Nose in FactoryOn New Year's Eve 1966, after more than 14 years of study, design work and competition, the federal government selected Boeing to build the prototype for the country's first supersonic transport (SST). Twenty-six airlines ordered 122 of the transports. The final design featured a double-jointed, needle-shaped nose that would drop during takeoff and landing for improved pilot visibility. Government funding was withdrawn in 1971 before the prototype was finished. Dash 80 RolloutForerunner of the more than 8,000 Boeing jetliners built since its rollout May 14, 1954, the prototype of the KC-135 Stratotanker and the Model 707 jet transport, was nicknamed the ''Dash 80.'' It served 18 years as a flying test laboratory before it was turned over to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in May 1972. In May 1990, under an arrangement with the Smithsonian, Boeing returned the airplane to Seattle for full restoration. It made a special flyover of the five Boeing facilities in the Puget Sound area on July 15, 1991, to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Boeing Company and the 37th anniversary of its own first flight. The airplane is now on view at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center at Washington Dulles International Airport outside Washington, D.C 757 Factory RolloutThe twin-engine, medium-range Boeing 757 commercial transport first flew Feb. 19, 1982 and was up to 20 percent more fuel efficient than the 727s it was designed to replace. The 757-200, also offered as a freighter, can carry 239 passengers, in two classes, up to 4,520 miles. In September 1996, Boeing launched the 4,000-mile-range 757-300, a stretched model that seats from 243 to 279 passengers. During its first 18 years of operation, the 757 carried more than 1.3 billion passengers, more than four times the population of the United States and Canada combined and flew the equivalent of nearly 25,000 roundtrips between the Earth and the Moon 747-100 Factory RolloutThe fastest commercial airplane in the sky, the gigantic 747 can hold up to 568 passengers. It also has the capability to fly up to 7,670 nautical miles. It is 231 feet 10 inches long, and its tail is taller than a six-story building. Since entering service in 1970, it has been produced in more than 20 versions, including freighters, convertibles, combis and many special-use models. 747 variants include 747-100s that became Shuttle Carriers, 747-200Bs modified to become Air Force Ones, a 747 airframe used for the Advanced Airborne Command Post (E-4), and a 747-400 Freighter used as a platform for the Airborne Laser (ABL). The new longer-range 747-400ER was launched in 2000 and is available in both passenger and freighter versions 727 in the FactoryThe short-to-medium-range 727, which first flew in 1963, was the only Boeing-built trijet in its time. It was designed to operate out of small airports with shorter runways. The 131-passenger trijet also was the first Boeing commercial jetliner to use an auxiliary power unit (APU). The 727 also was built as a freighter and as a “quick change” version, which airlines could convert from a passenger transport to a freighter, or a combination of both, as they chose. 777 Rollout CeremonyThe wide-body Model 777 was the first commercial jet that was 100 percent digitally designed using three-dimensional solids technology. It earned the Collier Trophy for top aeronautical achievement in 1996. The twinjet commercial transport uses fuel efficiently, and its comfortable cabin is very popular with passengers. The 777-200 can take 305 passengers 5,995 miles. The 777-300 can carry 368 passengers 6,899 miles. Launched in February 2000, the 777-200LR and 777-300ER can fly 10,201 or 8,343 nautical miles, respectively 777 Manufacturing Turning ToolThe 777 family of airplanes provides the unparalleled level of flexibility, economy and capability originally envisioned with the launch of the program in 1990.

SST Super Sonic Transport Prototype Under ConstructionOn New Year's Eve 1966, after more than 14 years of study, design work and competition, the federal government selected Boeing to build the prototype for the country's first supersonic transport (SST). Twenty-six airlines ordered 122 of the transports. The final design featured a double-jointed, needle-shaped nose that would drop during takeoff and landing for improved pilot visibility. Government funding was withdrawn in 1971 before the prototype was finished. The Wichita Model 75The Wichita Model 75 two-seater Stearman Kaydet biplane, introduced in 1934, became an unexpected success during World War II. Army trainers were PT-13, -17, -18, and -27 versions. Navy trainers carried the NS and N2S designations. Despite its almost obsolete design, its simple, rugged construction made it ideal as a trainer. Boeing built 8,584 Kaydets in all versions, plus the equivalent of 2,000 more in spare parts between 1936 and 1944. Many were still in use during the 1960s as crop dusters B-17E Flying Fortress Flying strong
