The Boeing 727-100, the world's first successful trijet airliner, revolutionized short- and medium-haul commercial aviation by bringing jet service to smaller airports previously inaccessible to larger aircraft. First flown on February 9, 1963, it was a low-wing trijet with three rear-mounted Pratt & Whitney JT8D turbofan engines that could seat up to 106 passengers. Measuring just over 133 feet in length with a cruising speed of Mach 0.79, it was manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes as the foundation of what would become the world's best-selling passenger jet family of its era.
