Boeing 727

DESCRIPTION

Boeing Model 727 pioneered the rear trijet configuration, with power from three specially designed Pratt & Whitney JT8D turbofans. The trijet design was settled upon as it gave the redundancy of three engines, better climb performance than a twin and improved operating economics over a four engine jet. The 727 also has an advanced wing design with the first airliner application of triple slotted Krueger flaps.
