Initial design began in 1956, although for a time it appeared that a new short/medium range airliner would not be built at all due to Boeing's financial problems. Boeing however persisted and serious development of the 727 beginning in June 1959. The program was launched and with the orders for 80 from Eastern and United greatly helped in the development of the Boeing 727. The Boeing 727 pioneered the rear trijet configuration, with power from three specially designed Pratt & Whitney JT8D turbofans. The trijet design gave the redundancy of three engines, better climb performance than a twin and improved operating economics over a four engine jet. The 727 also introduced an advanced wing design with the first airliner application of triple slotted Krueger flaps. The Boeing 727 was also the first Boeing airliner to feature an APU (auxiliary power unit). The prototype 727 first flew on February 9 1963, with certification in December of that year. The first 727 entered service with Eastern Airlines on February 9 1964.
