This meticulously crafted model is nearly life-sized and fully textured with intricate engine details, featuring animatable elements like ailerons, flaps, rudder, elevators, propellers, and landing gear. It's available in various formats with all textures and materials included. The Boeing 307 marked the first airliner designed with cabin pressurization, enabling flights at altitudes above 10,000 feet. As the first four-engine Boeing airliner, it evolved from the B-17C heavy bomber, sharing identical wings, tail, stabilizers, engines, and landing gear. The low-drag fuselage, with its circular aerodynamic shape, allowed for efficient pressurization and boasted a cabin width of over 12 feet. As a luxurious aircraft ahead of its time in 1935, the Boeing 307 could consistently cruise at 20,000 feet, reducing weather delays and offering passage above unfavorable conditions. This innovative aircraft was also the first to require a flight engineer and accommodated 33 passengers.
