FlightSim Studio - B727-100 Series

First flown in 1963 and entering airline service in 1964, the Boeing 727-100 helped define the early jet era. It was built for real-world flexibility. You get the distinctive trijet layout with the S-duct, strong low-speed performance from its high-lift wing, and the practical built-in airstair for airports with limited ground support. Later, it proved just as capable in freight operations. That mix is exactly why the 727 remains a favourite for pilots and simmers who enjoy classic, hands-on jet flying.

The FlightSim Studio Boeing 727-100 Series brings that experience to Microsoft Flight Simulator in three variants. You get the Passenger, the Freighter, and the upgraded Super 27-100 Passenger. Expect a cockpit that rewards good procedures and proper energy management, with a workload that feels authentic without becoming frustrating.
