Boeing Airplanes – 727, 757 Out of Production 727 First flight February 9, 1963. Trio engines in whale tail empennage. Manufactured in Renton. Could get in and out of Mexico City. High altitude and short runways. 757 First flight February 19, 1982. Thinner than the sister 767. The 757 was a single aisle airplane.

Boeing Airplanes – Business Jets, 737 In Production
Boeing Business Jets Boeing Business Jets are a customized business configuration of any of our airplanes.
737 The square airplane – as long as it is wide. Twin engines mounted on the wings. First flight April 9, 1967. Produced in Renton. Competition was DC-9. Built Quickly

Boeing Airplanes – 747, 767 In Production
747 Queen of the Skies! First flight February 9,1969. The -100 version was passenger only, the -300 version extended the upper deck. On the -400 composites played a large role. Distinction is the upper deck and 4 wing engines. Manufactured and assembled in Everett, WA
767 The Boeing 767 family includes three passenger models -- the 767-200ER, 767-300ER and 767-400ER -- and a freighter, which is based on the 767-200ER fuselage. The 767 has been converted into a Tanker for military purposes. Passengers are never more than one seat from the aisle. AWACS
Air Force One
Boeing Airplanes – In Production 777 First 100% digitally designed airplane. Launched in 1990, the first flight took place on June 12, 1994. Largest of all the twin engine jets. Distinguishing item is the oversized engines. Potential Folding Wing introduced, but never certified. (a 737 fuselage could fit inside its engine cowling!)
787 First composite fuselage commercial airliner. 50% of the 787 is made of composite materials. Scheduled to begin flight tests in 2008. The Power-plant Strut will take both Rolls Royce and GE Engines.
Boeing Airplanes – In Production
747-8 The Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental and 747-8 Freighter are the new high-capacity 747s that offer airlines the lowest operating costs and best economics of any large passenger or freighter airplane. Wide use of composite material.

Aircraft Mockup, Past and Present A scaled model to verify the shape
and form would fly in the wind tunnel. Critical to find out early if the air foil (surface) was functional.
Class I Mockup = Made from Wood. Entire Structure was created for fit-up and interference purposes.
Class II Mockup = Made from Metal, Styrofoam, and Plywood to ensure no fit-up and interference of assembly and installation processes.
Class III Mockup = Used the Class II Mockup, but add Tubing and Wire bundles to verify clearances and fit.
What aircraft was built using digital CATIA data sets and no Mockup?

Planes have the ability to fly at altitudes where they encounter very little air resistance. This allows them to increase fuel efficiency as well as fly over the weather (less turbulence). Because the air is “thinner” the plane needs to have pressurized compartments to maintain a certain level of air pressure/density, temperature and moisture. The pressurized sections of the plane include the following: Section 41, 42, 43, 44, 46, 47
Cargo portion of section 45

Plane Parts Part Description Slats A movable airfoil section attached
to the leading edge of each wing, which when lowered provide the airplane with greater lift at lower speeds.
Strut An extension designed to brace loads, e.g., pylons which support the engine.

Plane Parts
Part Description
Aileron A movable section of the trailing edge of each wing which operate together to provide longitudinal (roll) axis.
Flaps On trailing edge of wing– A hinged section of the trailing edge of each wing which, when lowered or extended, provides the airplane with greater lift at lower speeds. And gives primary control around the airplane longitudinal (roll) axis. Flap Display
Spoilers A hinged panel on the upper surface of each wing which can be raised individually or together as speed brakes to reduce the airspeed. When the flaps are down, the spoilers lower (droop) to help with the high lift system. Spoiler Pairs

Plane Parts Part Description Empennage The tail feathers of the Aircraft. The
Empennage controls both yaw and pitch axis. Empennage
Stabilizer or Horizontal Stabilizer
A tail surface which gives the long term control around the lateral (pitch) axis.
Elevator The elevator surface panels are a hinged portion of the trailing edge on each side of the horizontal stabilizer that provide primary control around the lateral axis (pitch).
Vertical Fin or Vertical Stabilizer
Generally, the vertical tail surface of an airplane which provides directional stability.
Rudder The hinged trailing edge of the vertical stabilizer - provides the primary control around the airplane vertical axis (yaw).

Aircraft Frame and Stringer
Shear Tie
Brackets are used to attach secondary structure or removable parts to structural components.
Stringer clips are used to attach the stringers to the circumferential frames.
Shear ties are used to attach the circumferential frame to the skin of the airplane.

Frame Splice
Shear tie
A Frame Splice is used to structurally fasten two sections of a frame together. The frames are something made in sections to provide for ease of installation or to promote structural reliability and longevity.

Truss
Web
A Web ties two structural components together. It acts as a brace between two separate parts and has the effect of making the parts act as one structural unit.
A Truss behaves in a similar manner as a web. It is used in place of a web when an open design is required for access or weight considerations are important.

Joggle
A joggle is a manufactured bend in a part to allow it to overlap other adjoining parts. This helps promote better fit between parts and eliminates the need for spacers and shims.
