Product Description
A reproduction of the Lufthansa version of the iconic aircraft that ushered in the jet passenger era.
[About the actual device]
The Boeing 707 was the first generation of jet passenger aircraft, which entered service in 1958.
Originally developed as a large transport aircraft for the U.S. Air Force, it proved successful as an aerial refueling tanker, the KC-135.
The aircraft attracted the attention of airlines and was converted into a passenger plane.
The first model was the 707-120, followed by various derivative models.
Equipped with four turbojet engines, it could accommodate over 100 passengers, a significant increase compared to the propeller-driven aircraft of the time.
Furthermore, the speed provided by jet engines significantly reduces the time required to reach the destination.
They ushered in a new era of jet passenger aircraft.
The first 707 aircraft were delivered to Pan American World Airways, and it was subsequently adopted by airlines around the world.
It was also introduced by Lufthansa in Germany and contributed to establishing Lufthansa's position in the market during the 1960s and 70s.
