Overview
The 707 was not the first jet airliner, but it was the one that made jet travel common, halving journey times compared with propeller airliners. Specifications shown are for the long-range 707-320B.
Military derivatives such as the KC-135 tanker and the E-3 Sentry AWACS kept the design flying for decades.
