- Name five jet airliners designed by Boeing before the model 707.
-
- Well, they weren't airliners, but they did the B-47 and B-52
- plus at least one prototype for a tanker - experience directly
- related to airliners.
-
- However, I think you focus too much on the -80/707 development
- (ignoring that it was a make-or-break for Boeing) - the real
- question is whether the Delta Clipper is the 707 of spacecraft
- or the Comet :-(
