The Boeing 707 Arrives At Idlewild Airport - Pan American Airways Newsreel

Newsreel footage showing the arrival of the Boeing Seven Oh Seven to crowds that look less than enthusiastic and we find out why. It's noisy, but if it passes the noise test we might see more of the "jets."

Interesting noise reduction system.

[FSim4ever]

the engine looks nice xD

@xr6lad America rules.

@xr6lad Touche'! Our historically Anglophilic elite learned from the very best!

This is an early 707 with the JT3 turbojets. They were noisy and a tad bit underpowered. JetMechA is right about the water injection. That's why you see all the smoke during some takeoffs. The later JT3D turbofans were more powerful and (relatively) less noisy. Used to hear these all the time going in and out of Philly International.

@jjleuti He says it right at :23...the exhaust tubes are for noise supression. Water injection is introduced after the combustor cans. The principle is expanding water (steam) provides more thrust. B-52D models had about 30 seconds of water injection boost, KC-135s had twice as much I think. Only used it above 40 degrees F for obvious reasons.

@DaMuttzNutz You mean the DeHavilland Exploder....er... I mean, Comet. The Comet never had a chance as it was originally introduced, even if it didn't have that nasty habit of coming apart at the seams in mid flight. With a passenger payload of 34-48 it was just too small.

@DaMuttzNutz And they were SOOO successful too. Frankly I find the British "imperial" national chauvinism tiresome; especially when you no longer have an empire.

I'm pretty sure they are from the same production line. It would be the smartest way for any manufacturer.

Funny how things have changed. Like Idlewild to Kennedy Airport, and the noise "reduction system" is terrible back then, but apparently it worked. I, as a pilot, have never heard/seen a jet that doesn't make noise. Maybe the A380, but that is still loud. hmmm...
