New Aircraft Drawing: 727 full-color blueprint

Now available is a full-color large format scan of a old-fashioned cyanotype general arrangement blueprint of the 727 jetliner. Originally drawn in July of 1961, this drawing shows geometry and contours for a 1/40 scale display model, but with dimensions given for the full-size aircraft. The blueprint is presented at 10012X3596 pixels… quite large! However, as big as this is, it’s half the size of the original. The original full-resolution scan will be made available at a later date, but for CD-ROM only… the full-rez image is a whopping 157 megabytes.

This release includes not only the large color blueprint, but also a cleaned grayscale version of the same and reduced-size versions of each for easier viewing and printing.

The 727 blueprint can be downloaded for $6.50.
