I had to stop watching... was annoying to see DC-10's, MD-11's, and other trijets being shown while discussing the 727. Also seems like they got most of their info from Wikipedia. I would not call an airplane that flew commercially for over 50 years a failure.

Certainly not a failure, it just got old. As I understand it, most airlines that operated the 727, loved them.

For a hot second I thought I was mistaken about what a 727 looks like...until I started seeing planes that I knew for a fact weren't the plane being discussed in the video. lol A bit annoying and yeah, I unliked the video after that. Unfortunate.

The problem here was this video missing the mark of this very successful airplane by tearing it down for problems past solved! If this plane was such a failure, then why did almost every airline in the world own a fleet of them? There have been aircraft besides the 727 that have had a worse track record....

727 failed? euh no! the design and purpose of the 727 just became obsolete like many great/famous aircraft types before. f.e. The Ford trimotor lost it to the DC2 in the 30's the 727 past the torch to its sibling the 737.

There was no downfall, it simply became old and inefficient but not after well over 1,500 had been built. There are a few still in service and in no way did it fail. Another nonsense video from Aviatrix, they should be ashamed. Most of this video is just cut and paste history of the 727 but then inexplicable filled with lots of footage of MD-11s and DC-10s.

The AI narrator is horrid, the copy/script is error prone, and the derision is unwarranted. The 727 is simply a design that came, went, and should be respected for what it achieved. It didn't fail. It simply ran it's course.

The 727 flew from 1963 to 2019 with the last airline that flew it.....I dont consider that a failure....check your stats....that plane was a workhorse and provided the service the airlines at that time required....i know i worked on them for many years.

This guy got so much wrong. He didn't even know the difference between the No.2 engine intake and the No.2 engine (hint, the engine isn't on the vertical stab). And ffs, if you're going to use an AI to read your mistake-ridden script, at least train it so it doesn't mangle words like Dehavilland.

727 Failed? I don't think so! I grew up in the 1960's and my dad was a pilot. Truly a magnificent, beautiful and robust aircraft, it remains among the best selling jet transports ever developed. As a former airline executive vice president (Technic), the only reason the 72 was retired is it was just getting old, and more efficient airframes along with engines became available. My first 737 flight in 1969 was from Frankfurt to Paris, and remember the fuselage was quite similar to the 72, 70, etc. The aircraft was such high performance, pilots used to say that they "had to fly it down" with plenty of power. Of course, the three engines in the tail didn't make it less complicated in terms of approach and CG. Great memories to be sure.

A really stupid title. The 727 was quite successful. It eventually was discontinued, because technology had advanced to the point that twin engined planes could do the same roles, were more fuel efficient, a cost less to maintain. Even after production was discontinued, the planes kept flying in the US for another 17 years. They still worked fine, and they did not have the restrictions that twin engined planes had over water. Until the 737 Next Generation came out in the late 1990's, the 737 did not come from the factory ready for over water flights with diversion times over one hour. The 727 was still quite useful in the Caribbean. Once the 737 NG became available it was possible to obtain ETOPS ready 737's directly from Boeing. They could fly over water flights more efficiently and with passenger capacities similar to the 727. Airlines in the US started getting rid of their 727 fleets as 737's could do all the missions the 727 could do at lowe cost. The 727's got sold of to other airlines around the world and were aften converted to freighters. They became obsolete. In the US the final nail in the coffin were the 9/11 terror attacks in 2001. Airlines needed to cut costs as demand for air travel plummeted. They decided to retire their oldest and least efficient aircraft. That's when the last 727's, DC-9', and DC-10's were retired by the airlines.

Failed? You don't know this plane's history. It was the second jet passenger plane in the world. First to reach the high rate of sales. The 727 had its engines high therefore it could land on anything without debris damaging the engines. Planes by FAA regulations had to have three engines to fly over water failure you’re completely wrong.

So an airplane that's been around only 55 years is a failure it's it wasn't 120 years ago that we even started flying in airplanes 125 years ago they thought we would never everfly but this 55-year-old is a failure sure I guess that's how it works
