I worked for Boeing at the plant where these planes were built. It was fascinating when they had these planes sitting on jack stands and were performing all and I mean all of the systems tests. Landing gear, doors, slats, ailerons, flaps, spoilers, rudder, trim tabs, elevators and horizontal tail trim and thrust reverser buckets. If you don’t work around this airplane, you would be surprised at just how much of this airplane moves and changes shape. I believe there is an additional lower flap setting available on these planes, because those Fowler flaps almost touch the ground when truly fully extended. After some early crashes resulting from improper use of the fully extended flaps, the final lowered position was locked out unless the operating environment absolutely required the truly maximum performance that final position required. You could put a 737 into and out places other jet airliners just could not go. Including the 737 and DC-9. And on the top end, this airplane could top 620 mph. The 727 was not long legged, but you could get to the end of that leg fast.

If you're an aviation buff, one of the best (and sometimes most humorous) non-fiction aviation safety books written for the general public was "Loud and Clear" by Robert J. Serling back around 1969. To paraphrase a quote in the book about the 727, "On this airplane, you don't lower the flaps, you disassemble the whole damn wing!"

The 727 always did have a complex and beautiful wing. I've often heard many people misinterpret the 727's leading edge devices as being "all" slats though, that was incorrect. The 727 had both "slats" and "Krueger Flaps" on the leading edge. The inboard portion that pushed up from underneath are the Krueger Flaps....the outboard portion that slides down are the slats.

As a kid I was fortunate enough to being taken on holidays with my parents now and again. Quite a few trips involved taking a 72 or 73 to destinations around the Mediterranian. They were the usual aircraft for these trips (travelling on LH out of Germany most of the time) in those days. After my first flight I always insistet that we would be seated behind the wings so that I was able to see all flap-, aileron- and spoiler movements at all time. It was the best part of every holiday - the flight to and from whereever we'd go to. Today, I still love flying, but the exitement has largely disappeared - not least due to those (by design) less complicated and less spectacularly deploying) trailing edge flaps (take the A320, e.g.). Luckily, I could witness the DC-10s inboard flaps (like barn doors) being fully extended, a few times, too. Dunno why, but it did something to me.

It was just a beautiful day in every way, not a bump for the whole flight, there was stratus clouds below and the sun was reflecting off them.Also got the seat behind an Emergency Exit so had huge leg room as there was no seat in the row in front.

On April 4, 1979, a Boeing 727 with 82 passengers and a crew of 7 rolled over and plummeted from an altitude of 39,000 feet to within seconds of crashing were it not for the crew's actions to save the plane. The cause of the unexplained dive was the subject of one of the longest NTSB investigations at that time.

On the 727 it was apparently possible to fly faster if you pull the circuit breaker to the leading edge slats (so they couldn't move) and extend the flaps one notch. Which the captain did in this incident. The flight engineer was unaware of this because he was on a break, but when he come back he put the breaker back in and the slats extended in much too high speed and the plane got unstable.

Was that the common later day flaps 30....Or the earlier flaps 40 landing? The 727 was limited by noise ordinances to flaps 30 landings starting in the late 1980's, since a flaps 40 landing required far more engine power and thus noise. How was the 727 prevented from landing with flaps 40, which shortened landing roll considerably and saved the brakes and allowed higher landing weights/load? Answer: A bolt that kept the flap lever from going to the 40 degree position. More than one crew removed that bolt in order to get into an airport when the weather was down, and this was one of the big secrets of the 727!

My dad flew for DELTA from 1987-2005 . Two of his three favorite were the Trijets , the 727 and Lockheed L1011. He was a big fan of Lockheed after flying P-3s in the US Navy. He referred to the L1011-500 as the “ Tri-tanic” . His all time favorite though was as Captain of 757/767 near the end of his career. He loved the 757 with the big Pratt& Whitney turbofans. He said it was like flying a rocket , especially out of short fields like John Wayne/Orange County , DC Reagan and LaGuardia . They definitely don’t build them like they used to. I remember as a young kid sitting band watching the sequence of the flaps preparing for final approach with various stages and screws. My favorite part of the leading edge flaps was the large signal light.

@lardyify

The slats actually create a ‘slot’ along the span of the wing leading edge. The purpose of the slot is to cause the air to cling to the upper surface for longer, delaying the onset of the stall. On 727’s, the outer slats extend before the inner ones to ensure the ailerons remain effective at low speed/high angles of attack. The bulk of the lift is created at the inboard end of the wing so the krueger flaps extend at the same time as the outboard slats. Krueger flaps are a throwback to the 707’s, which had full span kruegers. They are cheaper, simpler, lighter and easier to rig than slats so Boeing continues to use them on all models of the 737.

Yes you are wrong, or I think don't quite understand what CAD really stands for. CAD is an integration of all design and manufacturing by computer-generated data. Merely calculating aerodynamic design parameters by computer is not CAD. Boeing's first aircraft designed entirely in CAD was the 777 whose design began in 1990. The 737 was begun in 1964 when CAD could only be dreamed about. Other designers than Boeing also had their computer skills in the 1960s, for instance the Concorde employed computer design for the wing.

Flaps are banned from being fully extended in the 727, given the excessive sink rate it causes, which is difficult to correct given the spool time of the engines.
