Abstract | In the mid-l970s, the projected economic and environmental outlook for the airlines was bleak. Many existing airplanes would soon cease to be cost effective due to rising fuel costs and would be unable to comply with proposed regulations governing community noise. The requirements could only be satisfied with a new airplane that exploited the latest improvements in airfoil design, propulsion, materials, and avionics. The Boeing Company, with its proven capabilities, was well postured to meet this challenge and took the initiative to provide the airlines with a superior product at the right time. |
