"The Ford Tri-motor was a rugged, dependable transport airplane, which won a permanent place in aviation history. It underwent several design changes. They were flown by more than one hundred airlines in the United States and all over the world. First flew on June 11, 1926. The two main production versions of the Ford Trimotor the 4-AT and the 5-AT was introduced in 1928. The 5-AT-C, which is essentially in original condition, was built in 1929. The Ford Trimotor was dubbed as the Tin Goose and it also appeared in a variety of official and unofficial modifications. It was operated with wheel, float or ski landing gear and had served with all branches of the US military. The Ford 5-AT-C was still operating in the Scenic Airlines of Las Vegas in the 1990s."

"The ATR-42 is a twin-turboprop airliner manufactured by ATR. The ATR42's maiden flight was on August 16, 1984 and it received certification following in September 1985. As of January 2007, there are 390 ATR 42s delivered worldwide, following another 11 aircraft order. There are three major variants of the ATR-42 and an STC exists to convert all ATR 42 variants to all-cargo transport aircraft. Major operators of the ATR-42 are FedEx, UPS and DHL. The ATR-42 ""Surveyor"" is a maritime patrol version of the -500 and VIP transport and in-flight inspection versions of the -500 also exist. The ATR-42 has a seating capacity of 44-50 passengers. It has a cruising speed speed of 556 km/h and a range of 2,965 km. t incorporates Pratt & Whitney Canada PW127E. The rear door is used to avoid possible injuries from the blades of the spinning propellers and the vast majority of commercial aircraft are boarded from the front. The ATR-42 also doesn't have Auxiliary Power Unit (APU), but it has a propeller brake, allowing the turbine to run and provide air power to the aircraft without the propeller spinning. Thus it eliminates the need for added weight and expense of an APU. the engines are periodically switched during maintenance to ensure equal wear. "

"The revolutionary Boeing 247, developed in 1933, was an all-metal, twin engine airplane and the first modern passenger airliner. It had a gyro panel for instrument flying, an autopilot, pneumatically operated de-icing equipment, a variable-pitch propeller and retractable landing gear. It also featured thick upholstered chairs, an insulated cabin, a lavatory and individual overhead lighting. The phenomenon of the Model 247 caught the attention of America's young airline companies. When its commitment to United prevented Boeing from filling orders fast enough, Transcontinental and Western Air (TWA) turned to Douglas. Douglas offered to build something similar to the Boeing 247, only faster and larger. TWA quickly accepted the proposal. The Douglas DC-1 which was eventually refined as the legendary DC-3, immediately attracted new customers. Thus, making the 247 obsolete less than a year after its first flight. Seventy-five 247s were built. Boeing Air Transport flew 60 247s. United Aircraft Corporation flew 10 and the rest went to Deutsche Lufthansa and a private owner in China. The Boeing 247s remained in airline service until World War II, when several were converted into C-73 transports and trainers. Some were still flying along with the Douglas DC-2 that supplanted it, the Model 247 ushered in the age of speed, reliability, safety and comfort in air travel."

"The Boeing 314 ""Clipper"" is a long-range flying boat produced between 1938 and 1941 by the Boeing Airline Company. It is one of the largest aircraft at that time using the massive wing of earlier XB-15 bomber prototype. The Boeing 314 uses a series of heavy ribs and spars, creating a strong fuselage and cantilevered wing. It incorporates sponsons into the hull structure. The Pan Am Clippers were built for luxury, a necessity given the long duration of transoceanic flights. Pan American World Airways signed a contract for six Boeing 314 on July 21, 1936. The first 314, the Honolulu Clipper, entered service in January 1939. Pacific Clipper was enroute to New Zealand during the outbreak of war in the Pacific. In June 24, 1939, the Yankee Clipper had flown across the Atlantic on a route from Southampton to New York with intermediate stops at Foynes, Ireland, Botwood, Newfoundland and Shediac, New Brunswick. The Boeing 314 Dixie Clipper is another aircraft operated by Pan Am. It started its transatlantic passenger service in 1939 and was later sold to World Airways. It was scrapped on 1950. "

"The Boeing 367-80, or ""Dash 80"" as it was called within Boeing, was a concept jet transport built to demonstrate that high speed jet transport was no longer the sole preserve of military aircraft. Boeing 367-80 was considered to be the prototype for both the Boeing 707 airliner and the C-135 series aircraft (including the best known variant, the KC-135 air tanker used by the United States Air Force), the Boeing 367-80 was built in less than two years from project launch in 1952 to rollout on May 14, 1954 for a cost of US$16 million. This was at the time an enormous risk for the Boeing Company, since they had no committed customers for the project. By early 1952 the designs were complete, and on April 1952, the Boeing board approved the program to build the jet. Construction of the Boeing 367-80 took place at Boeing's Renton, Washington plant, but as a prototype there was no production line and most of the parts were custom built. The plane's interior was not fitted with an airline cabin; rather it consisted of a basic plywood lining that was used to house the test instrumentation required for the flight test program. In addition to the flight testing program, Boeing also used the Boeing 367-80 to provide demonstration flights to airline executives and other key industry figures."

"The Boeing 377 Stratocruiser was the civilian version of the C-97 Stratofreighter, which in turn was derived from the B-50 Superfortress. It first flew on July 8, 1947. Despite serious design flaws and a marginal service record, the Stratocruiser was considered one of the greatest post-war propeller airliners. In the 1960s, several Stratocruisers were modified by Aero Spacelines to make oversized transports and were dubbed as ""Guppys"". The Boeing 377 has a seating capacity of up to 100 passengers on main deck and an additional 14 in lower deck lounge. The typical seating for 63 or 84 passengers. It incorporates 4 Pratt & Whitney R-4360-B6 Wasp Major 28-cylinder radial engines four-bladed propellers. It has a maximum speed of 375 mph and a range of 3,650 nm. The primary users and operators of the Boeing 377 are the Pan Am and the BOAC. Extremely complex and expensive, only 56 were built. It continued in mainline service until 1960, when it had been made obsolete by the coming of the 707 and other first generation jetliners. "

"The Boeing 707 transport marks the real beginning of the revolutionary jet age in transportation. There were over 900 Boeing 707 commercial transports built. By 1980, the 707 was no longer in production as a commercial transport. Today, many people still consider the terms 707 and jet transport to be synonymous. Boeing developed the 707-320 Intercontinental series which is a stretched version of the original 707 model with increased range, making it a true intercontinental jet. Boeing 707-320 was a later version of the Boeing 707 series, which had larger wings, and more fuel capacity to operate as a true, transoceanic aircraft. It also had a large cargo door, making it a dual-purpose transport aircraft. Although the Boeing 707 was not the first commercial jetliner in service, yet it was the first to be commercially successful."

"The Airbus A320 is a short-to-medium range commercial passenger airliner manufactured by Airbus SAS. The Airbus Family members include the A318, A319, A320, and A321, as well as the ACJ business jet. Airbus A-320 flew for the first time in February 22, 1987 and first delivered in 1988. The A320 pioneered the use of digital fly-by-wire flight control systems in a commercial aircraft. With more than 3,000 aircraft of the A320 family built, it is the second best selling jet airliner family of all time, after the family's primary competition, the Boeing 737. The A320 Airbus features a computerized on-board maintenance system. The avionics systems are designed for easy upgrade without major rework. With the exception of the very earliest A320's, most can be upgraded to the latest avionics standards, keeping the aircraft advanced even after almost 2 decades in service. Also integral to the A320 is the advanced electronic flight deck; with six fully integrated EFIS colour displays and innovative side stick controllers rather than conventional control columns. The A320 also employs a relatively high percentage of composite materials compared to earlier designs. Two engines are offered, the CFM56 and IAE V2500. The A-320 has seating for 150 to 179 passengers, these accommodated in a wider cabin than most single-aisle aircraft, allowing for far greater comfort and the ability to take standard baggage containers. Typical cruising speed of the Airbus A-320 is Mach 0.8 with a range of 3,270 miles with 150 passengers and luggage. "

"The US Airways is an American low-cost airline headquartered in Tempe, Arizona, owned by US Airways Group, Inc. In 1996, the airline ordered up to 400 new Airbus A319, A320 and A321 narrow-body twin jets for delivery starting in 1998 and continuing through 2009; then within days announced its new identity as US Airways. The A320, a short to medium range airliner, is perhaps best known as the first airliner to introduce a fly-by-wire flight control system. The most important contributor to Airbus Industry's success as an airliner manufacturer, the four member A320 family is significant sales success and a technological trailblazer. As of early 2003, firm orders for the A320 stood at 1397 with 1131 delivered. The A320-200 is one of the member of A320's it has a maximum cruising speed of 903km/h at 28,000ft, economical cruising speed of 840km/h at 37,000ft.

"The A330-300 is the biggest member of Airbus' twinjet family and is closely related to the four engined long range A340 with which it shares near identical systems, airframe, flightdeck and wings, the only major difference being the twin (versus four) engine configuration. The A340 and A330 were launched simultaneously in June 1987. Although developed in parallel the A330-300 made its first flight after the A340, on November 2 1992. It was the first aircraft to achieve simultaneous European Joint Airworthiness Authorities (JAA) and US FAA certification, on October 21 1993. Entry into service took place by the end of that year. Differences from the A340 aside from the number of engines are slight changes to the wing and internal systems, including fuel tankage. The A330 (like the A340) takes advantage of a number of technologies first pioneered on the A320, including the common advanced EFIS flightdeck with side stick controllers and flybywire computerised flight control system. While the standard A330-300 shares the same fuselage length as the A340-300, Airbus has studied various stretched (A330-400) and shortened (A330-100 and 200) versions. The shortened A330-200 was formally launched in 1996 as a long range 767-300ER competitor, and is described separately. One stretched, high capacity concept studied for a time featured lower deck seating in place of the forward freight hold. "
