B727-200

The Boeing 727-200 is a stretched, higher-capacity variant of the Boeing 727 narrowbody trijet, introduced in 1967 as the definitive production version of the type. Compared to the original 727-100, the 727-200 features a fuselage stretch of 20 feet, increasing passenger capacity to up to 189 passengers in a high-density single-class configuration. It retains the 727's distinctive rear-mounted three-engine arrangement using Pratt & Whitney JT8D engines, along with its advanced high-lift wing system for short-field performance. With a range of approximately 2,550 nautical miles, the 727-200 opened up a wider range of medium-haul routes while maintaining the operating flexibility of its predecessor. The 727-200 became by far the most commercially successful variant of the 727 family, accounting for the majority of over 1,800 total 727 deliveries. It was operated by airlines throughout North America, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East. The 727-200 Advanced, a later sub-variant with improved engines and fuel capacity, further extended the type's competitiveness into the early 1980s.
