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.
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? 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.
There are still about 38 727s in service. That January flight was the last commercial passenger flight, not the last flight altogether, since some are still being used as cargo or private jets.
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.
The people who put this clip together have no clue what they are talking about. It is one of the most successful in its era. And I flew it for 4 years. End of discussion.
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.
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.
Google is the one who truly failed by having intellectually diminished videos like this online. Perhaps, whoever uploaded it shall consider having another one, showing own achievements. Not winning fame, standing amid the ones from the aircraft industry of the Western World.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Stop it with the failed, BS! Boooo! I learned to fly on her! A failed aircraft would be one that couldn't make the money back on the cost of development like the A-380!
The footage is all over the place like a madman's crap. This isn't great. And exactly why did the 727 fail??. It was a spectacular success!! This must have been cobbled together with AI. If anything failed, it's this video. I've left a thumbs down for this effort.
It was in service for 60 years... How did it fail exactly?
The 727, despite early issues, was an extremely successful aircraft.
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.
It sounds like an AI voice. Day-haveee-land
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.
Man, I was about to write the same comment.
When a plane sales more than 1000 items and dominates the market for 50 years is not a failure
The 727 was a successful plane with a long career and solid track record. It did not fail on any level.
The 727 didn't fail. It sold 1,800 copies. Just got replaced by the 737, which has now also replaced the 757.
Actually…the 757 has been out of production for 20 years and they are still making 737’s.
@@chandlerwhite8302 That's what i said wasn't it?

Over 1800 were built and sold I don’t think it failed.

The reason why we aren't flying the 727 is noise abatement. There is no place to put high bypass engines on the old girl.
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.
Which Portland??
3:27 That's a tu 154
Nice video bro

Boycott this channel. The film footage of them putting a large turbofan on a wide-bodied 777 is predictably annoying. He just wants the clickbait!
Not de Haviland being pronounced as “Deehaviland”.
😭😭😭
1. Fuel burn rate
2. Ground Noise.
3. Just plain old.
It did not fail I love these clowns on TH-cam. Most of this stuff on TH-cam is BS.
1962-1983 is far from "A Failure". Not even close.

In 2024 with the redesign of it with better upgrades you'll have the best aircraft even the long flight miles possible.
Why are they saying the 727 was a failure. The 727 was very successful . You don’t build over 1800 units if it’s a failure
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.

The 727 is my favourite
It didn't fail. It became obsolete
The 727 was the most successful aircraft produced by Boeing how did it " fail! " ?
Another channel added to my "Don't recommend channel" list.

After seeing the ridiculous title to this story I had to come for the comments.
Fail? On the contrary, it was a big success-
1832 built
Never heard it was crash pron
Fail? Ive said this before, your research and conclusions are way off.
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.
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.
It did not fail. What are you talking about?
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
Stop it with the failed, BS! Boooo! I learned to fly on her! A failed aircraft would be one that couldn't make the money back on the cost of development like the A-380!
This whole video is ridiculous. The 727 was the most successful airliner of it's time.
Failed? What a joke.
This content creator failed. The 727 is still flying freight.
Only a few because kalitta charters ll just retired all of their b727s
They only had a couple left. But, the point is, the 727 is still flying.
The only thing failed here is this amateurish video.
This is AI crap.
Yeah. Waste of time. This video is just awful.
This video fails.
The footage is all over the place like a madman's crap. This isn't great. And exactly why did the 727 fail??. It was a spectacular success!! This must have been cobbled together with AI. If anything failed, it's this video. I've left a thumbs down for this effort.
