(back to top) A Boeing 727-200. After an extensive evaluation process, ZERO-G selected the Boeing 727-200 cargo aircraft over alternatives including the Boeing 707, 727, 737, and 757, and the DC-9. Routinely used by commercial carriers, the 727-200 characteristics include economical operations and maintenance, rapid availability of parts and servicing, and conformity to FAA noise abatement standards. The aircraft has a large cargo door and an 80-foot long floating zone.
