BBC Documentaries - Jumbo: The Plane that Changed the World

Seizoen: 2014 - Aflevering: 35 / 2402 - Eerst uitgezonden: 27 februari 2014 - Episode ID: 914050

Documentary about the development of the Boeing 747 jumbo jet. The 747 was a game changer; the airliner that revolutionised mass, cheap air travel. But the first, wide-bodied plane was (originally) intended as a stopgap to Boeing's now-abandoned supersonic jet. This is the remarkable, untold story of the jumbo, a billion-dollar gamble that pushed 1960s technology to the limits to create the world's most recognisable plane.
