Its various components, including turbines, flaps, ailerons, rudder, elevators, and landing gear, are animatable; with the option to hide the landing gear for "gear up" flights. Built nearly to scale, this model is available in multiple formats. The Douglas DC-8 was a competitor of Boeing's 707 series, sharing similar design features and capabilities. As one of the first practical jet airliners capable of long-range intercontinental travel and increased capacity, the DC-8 was both historic and sought after by airlines. The inaugural DC-8 flight took place in 1957. Known for its exceptional safety record, this aircraft served on major airline routes until late in the 1970s.
