The Douglas DC-8
The first Douglas jet transport, powered by four 13,500-pound-thrust P&W JT3C turbojets, could fly more than 600 mph. Douglas built 556 DC-8s in seven major variants over 14 years of production. The largest version, the Series 63, proved capable of flying more than 4,500 miles nonstop while carrying 259 passengers. Its versatility allowed it to be fitted with high bypass-ratio turbofan engines by another company and this was called the Series 70.
The DC-8-63 combined a short extension of 80 Inches (2.03 Meters) over the Series 55 fuselage, a 36 inch (.91 Meter) extension of each wing tip (to reduce drag and increase fuel capacity), and a new aerodynamically superior engine pod. This long-range aircraft enabled nonstop flights never before possible, such as Europe to the USA's West Coast with a full payload.
Please note that this is an adult collectors model and is not recommended for children under 14.
