======================================
ROLE
The Boeing
727 is a mid-size, narrow body, three-engine,
T-tailed, commercial jet airliner. The first Boeing 727 flew in
1963 and for over a decade it was the most produced
commercial jet airliner in the world. When production ended
in 1984, a total of 1,831 aircraft had been produced. The 727's
sales record for the most jet airliners ever sold was broken in
the early 1990s by its younger stablemate, the Boeing 737.
Designed for short-haul routes, the 727 became a mainstay of
airlines' domestic route networks. A stretched variant, the
727-200, debuted in 1967. In August 2009, 442 Boeing 727
aircraft (all variants) were in commercial airline service.
