The Modern Age S01 E10

The Boeing 737 twin engine jetliner was to become Boeing's greatest success. Launched in 1967, the short range transport has remained in production ever since. The 737 combined the best attributes of all previous Boeing aircraft including one of the lowest approach speeds of any jet transport and a simple refuelling process. However, despite all its advantages, the 737 was soon overshadowed by the new, improved 747 Jumbo Jet.
