I will pay for the following article Three Major Landmarks in History of Mechanical Engineering. The work is to be 6 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page. Mechanical engineering tradition collections may refer to a collection or museum that is made of associated objects of unique importance, but not essentially the main progression step in chronological growth of mechanical engineering. This paper seeks to describe Three Major Landmarks In the History Of Mechanical Engineering (Tianbiao, 2011).

The “Dash 80” as it was referred to at Boeing is also popularly known as Boeing 367-80 is a first of its kind transport jet from America constructed to showcase the merits of jet airplanes in terms of transportation of passengers. The Boeing 367-80 was the archetype for the 707 airliners and the KC-135 Stratotanker. It was made in a period of just less than 2 years from the launch of the project in 1952 and its rollout on the 14th of May 1954. The US $ 16 million expenditure was a huge risk for the Boeing Company since it did not have any committed clientele. They managed to build only one.

In the late 1940s, 2 developments inspired Boeing to start contemplating constructing a passenger jet. Foremost was the B-47’s maiden flight in 1947 and the second one was the 1949 de Havilland Comet’s maiden flight which was the world’s foremost jet airliner. A delegation led by Bill Allen, the then Boeing president, to Britain in the summer of 1950 witnessed the Comet Fly at Farnborough Air show and later on called on the de Havilland industrial unit at Hatfield, Hertfordshire the site of building the comets. This exposure made Boeing feel that it had gained the skill of podded and swept wing engines and which it saw as major technologies that would assist it to make advancements on the Comet. Thus in the year of 1950, Boeing cautiously built a design for a jetliner christened the Model 473-60C. Several airlines did not buy the idea due to lack of any experience with jet transports. They were also benefiting from aircraft that were piston-engined like Douglas DC-6, DC-4, Lockheed Constellation, and Boeing Stratocruiser.
