Boeing 727-200 Stretched Tri-Jet Airliner Variant
The Boeing 727-200 was the stretched 727 passenger variant developed for higher-capacity short- and medium-haul airline service. Its rear-mounted three-engine layout and high-lift wing preserved the runway and infrastructure flexibility of the 727 while increasing fuselage capacity over the 727-100.
