Boeing 707

An 707 of Qantas

The Boeing 707 is a four-engine commercial passenger jet airliner made by Boeing starting in the early 1950s. Its name is usually said as "Seven Oh Seven". Boeing built a total of 1,010 707s including a smaller, faster version of the plane known as the Boeing 720.

The 707 was not the first commercial jet in service, but it was one of the first to make money. It dominated passenger air transport in the 1960s and was common throughout the 1970s. The 707 is usually said to have started the Jet Age. It made Boeing one of the biggest makers of passenger planes and began the series of aircraft with "7x7" names.
