The Boeing Company, one of the leading aircraft manufactures in the world, has built many significant aircrafts that have great contribution to aviation history. Boeing 707, without a doubt, was one of the most important aircrafts in the history of the Boeing Company. It incorporated several advanced technologies Boeing had at the time, and it opened a brand new page for commercial jetliners. Based on the data provided by Boeing’s official website, a total of 1,010 Boeing 707 jetliners were ordered and delivered during its 20 years of production. Because of the solid foundation Boeing 707 provided for the Boeing Company, the Boeing Company was able to develop a “complete family of commercial jetliner models”(Boeing).
Although Boeing 707 was not the very first jetliner in use, it was the first one that had gained remarkable commercial success. In The Evolution of Modern Aircraft, Loftin stated that “the Boeing 707 transport was the first of the long-range and, for its day, high-passenger-capacity aircraft that marked the real beginning of the revolutionary jet age in air transportation.” The Boeing Company gained a great deal of market share during the rising of Boeing 707.
The development of Boeing 707 started with a single prototype. According to the Boeing Company’s official website, the prototype of Boeing 707 was named Boeing 367-80, and it was referred as “Dash-80” within the Boeing Company. Cook had explained in The Road to the 707 in detail regarding of the development of the Dash-80 prototype. The world’s first commercial jetliner, the deHaviland Comet, was already flown when Boeing’s engineer gather together to discuss the possibility of building its own commercial jetliner. The Comet was designed for shorter routes...

... success of Boeing 707 represented the beginning of commercial jetliner era. From 707, the Boeing Company began its journey in becoming one of the largest and most successful multination aircraft manufacturers. Boeing 707 had also redefined the world of commercial jetliners. Even now, 707 still represents the foundation of commercial jetliners’ history.

Around 1783 an inventor by the name of De Rozier came up with the idea of creating a balloon that could possibly carry people. His invention became popular and was made successful two months later by the Montgolfiers. The idea that people could travel by air was so inventive that other people began capitalizing on the movement. The next hundred years proved to be an evolution in air transportation with the creation of blimps, zeppelins, jet packs, helicopters, and finally airplanes. On December 17, 1903 the Wright brothers completed their dream by braking records through feet and time with each successful test flight. The Journal of Aircrafts noted that the Wrights discovery was “one of the most critical components of heavier-than-air, powered flight, that is, three-axis control . . . . Their greatest challenge occurred in designing and developing the propulsion system which included an engine and transmission, and the invention of an efficient propeller” (Carroll & Carroll, 2005 n.p.). Approximately eleven years later this invention lead to military manufacturing for WW1 and five years after that the postal air mail service. Our textbook indicated “the potential for growth of the airmail industry in particular, and in aviation activity in general, resulted in the need to have aviation managed, controlled, and regulated as a comprehensive system so that its potential for widespread growth would be met” (Wells & Young, 2011 p.57). Throughout the next fifty to sixty years the airline airlines jumped through many hoops that consisted of consumer fears, competition, regulation and deregulation. The government began developing programs such ...

Boeing's Management team's work hard to plan what project's will be best for customers, lead to the largest returns to shareholders, and keep a reputation of being a world leader in the aviation industry. "In October 2002, executives of the aircraft manufacturer met with a group of global airline representatives at a conference center on the Seattle waterfront. The executives were trying desperately to figure out what to build next to hold off a soaring Airbus."(Masters, 2007) Boeing had made plans to build a high speed jetliner prior to this meeting. Through careful planning and expert decision making Boeing officials found that the world was more interested in comfort and efficiency.
