The thrust reverser actuator fairing and the number 2 engine tailpipe made contact with the ground off the departure end of the runway. The aircraft climbed away and then returned for a normal landing on Runway There were no injuries; the aircraft sustained only minor damage. Following a long and fast touchdown at maximum landing weight, a go around was then called after prior selection of thrust reversers but was not actioned and a metre overrun onto soft wet ground followed.
The accident was attributed to poor tactical decision making by the aircraft commander. B, Moncton Canada, On 24 March , a Boeing being operated by Canadian company Cargojet AW on a scheduled cargo flight from Hamilton Ontario to Moncton New Brunswick failed to stop after a night landing on metre long runway 06 at destination in normal ground visibility and eventually stopped in deep mud approximately metres beyond the runway end and approximately 40 metres past the end of the paved runway end strip.
The three operating flight crew, who were the only occupants, were uninjured and the aircraft received only minor damage.
Of all the early Boeing jets, the had the most distinctive appearance, with its rakish T-shaped tail and its trio of rear-mounted engines.
It carried billions of passengers on everything from short hops to cross-country flights. The was the first Boeing jetliner to undergo rigorous fatigue testing, the first to have completely powered flight controls, the first to use triple-slotted flaps and the first to have an auxiliary power unit APU.
The APU was a small gas-turbine engine that eliminated the need for ground power or starting equipment in the more primitive airports of developing countries. The first rolled out Nov. Syrian Air Adv. This was the last production variant of the to be developed by Boeing, and 15 aircraft were built, all for Federal Express.
Winglets were added to some of these aircraft to increase fuel efficiency. This modification was originally developed by Valsan Partners, but was later marketed by Quiet Wing Technologies in Redmond, Washington. As of June [update] , Boeing aircraft all variants are in commercial airline, private and government service. Most airlines have small numbers but the following operate five or more aircraft:.
In addition, the has seen sporadic government use, having flown for the Belgian, Yugoslavian, Mexican, New Zealand, and Panama air forces, among the small group of government agencies that have used it. The United States military used the as a military transport, designated as the C Data from Boeing Aircraft since [29]. As of , a total of incidents involving s had occurred, including hull-loss accidents [36] resulting in a total of 3, fatalities.

These incidents caused the loss of 4, lives of which were caused by hijackings. It was a turbulent time before the current stringent security measures came into being.
The was designed to be used from shorter runways of around 4, feet. This enabled it to be used to fly in and out of smaller city airports, as well as remote regional airfields as well. The Boeing design had several advantages in that it allowed the short airfield operations but was still able to offer a good range.
Rather than having to fly a short distance to a major hub and change to a larger aircraft, the was able to fly directly from smaller airfields to many more destinations. First, the aerodynamics of the wings. Because the engines are mounted on the rear of the fuselage, this leaves the wings clear of any obstruction caused by engine pylons.
This means that lift enhancing equipment can be applied to the whole wing with no gaps. Many remote locations do not have the facilities offered by larger urban airfields, such as ground-based power, or air-stairs.
To this end, the was able to be self-sufficient. For power whilst on the ground, an APU auxiliary power unit was fitted. It was actually located in the centre of the aircraft between the main wheels, instead of the traditional tail cone location which of course housed engine number 2. This meant the did not have to leave one of its engines running whilst on the ground to provide power. To enable passenger access at small fields, Boeing built a stairway into a door that dropped down from the bottom of the fuselage under the tail.
Initially, there was no fail-safe on the air-stair to prevent it opening in flight, in fact, military versions made use of this ability to enable clandestine parachute drops. A feature called the Cooper Vane was added after to prevent the door opening in flight.
This was a result of the hijacker known as D. Cooper , who parachuted from Northwest Airlines flight over the mountains between Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington on 24 November As well as short field capabilities, the was able to operate into and out of gravel runways as well. Due to the engines being mounted much higher on the fuselage, they were further away from foreign objects being ingested than those of aircraft with engines slung under the wing.
In addition, Boeing added brakes to the nose wheels so as to give more positive control and stopping power ability.
The Boeing is a medium to short-range single-aisle airliner, featuring 6 abreast seating.
