Boeing quickly developed the larger 707-320 Intercontinental series with a longer fuselage, bigger wing and higher-powered engines. These improvements increased fuel capacity from 15,000 gallons to more than 23,000 gallons, and gave the 707 truly intercontinental range of over 4,000 miles in a 141-seat (mixed class) seating configuration. Early in the 1960s, the Pratt & Whitney JT3D turbofan engines were fitted to provide lower fuel consumption, reduce noise and further increase range to about 6,000 miles.BI219556 (p20715)Maximum size:4625px × 5696px (~75 MB)15.4in × 18.9in (300dpi)License type:Rights ManagedKeywords:1950s-707 family-adults-airplanes-close-ups-commercial-commercial passenger planes-contrast-day-detail views-engines-exteriors-full body views-ground crews-ground shots-inspecting-jets-large-maintenance-male-monoplanes-nacelles-occupations and work-one person-other livery-out of production-photos-propulsion systems-shadows-small-spinners-structural systems-sunshine-tarmac-viewed from belowRelated Photo/Videos:View All
