2006年7月19日 · Considering the 707 is made of conducting material, nose to tail, why confine transmissibility to a very shortened sub-sub-wavelength antenna that is oriented to radiate in all directions other than where the plane is traveling to and where is has traveled from?

The Boeing 707 is an early American long-range narrow-body airliner, the first jetliner developed and produced by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. Developed from the Boeing 367-80 prototype first flown in 1954, the initial 707-120 first flew on December 20, 1957. Pan Am began regular 707 service on October 26, 1958.

Looks like one, but isn’t. Different fuselage, wings, engines, and tail. Basically everything is subtly different from a production 707. The above pic is the first 707—a lot of people don’t know what the 707’s house colors were—not rust/yellow, it’s white with red and blue pinstripes, like the current colors.

2016年5月13日 · I stumbled on this image of an engine mounted on the rear fuselage of a Boeing 707, specifically reg: N70700 which was the actual PROTOTYPE Dash 80. It appears that it's an operational engine (note the S exhaust duct, re-directing hot gasses over the horizontal stabilizer).

2009年2月18日 · Purpose - improve lateral stability, and prevent over-rotation. Note that the very first 300s had a shorter tail fin. UK CAA required a taller fin (read D.P. Davies) + VF for lateral stability improvement. Boeing made it standard on all early 300s and non-fan 100s... Purpose - limit damage to fuselage in case of over-rotation.

2006年10月2日 · All the original non fan jet (water wagon) 707-100's were delivered with the antenna's, including the Qantas short bodied -138's, the 139's built for Cubana and leased to Western, and the 121's for Pan Am, the 123's for American, …
