Should't the 720 and C-135 be on this template? Both have been referred to as a 717 in the past.76.66.193.90 (talk)11:30, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The 720 was a variant of the 707, and theC-135 Stratolifter is a derivative of the 707 prototype, but is a military aircraft. Variants are not listed, but fall under the main aircraft (eg. 737-100,200,300,400, etc). This template is for the Boeing 7x7 series, which the C-135 is not a part of. -TrevorMacInnis^contribs14:49, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A 2010s column needs adding, and the colours up to 2009 need bringing up to date. Far too complicated for my editing skills I'm afraid.Mjroots (talk)10:47, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done. -TrevorMacInnis^contribs14:49, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

There was about a year or so where the 747 was out of production. This was between the 747-400 and 747-8. Is it worth showing this on here.

I have also made some tweaks to reflect 2011, doesnt seem it was updated at the time.

Thanks

why not take a more neutral color? Grey makes it seem dead or implies that it's worse, which is not true. #B0D0D0 for example seams like a better choice than #C0C0C0 --Wolfguardian64 (talk)08:00, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm just gonna go ahead and change it to #B0D0D0 for all producers (Airbus, MD, Boeing...). Feel free to revert it if you don't think it's appropriate. --Wolfguardian64 (talk)08:09, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It would be useful and deliver more info if overlapping production times are of different colour. Just another legend-entry. Different colours for narrow- and wide-bodies are IMHO not needed because obvious.87.150.120.96 (talk)06:33, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what you mean by "overlapping production times". Could you elaborate on what exactly you want to do?Different colors for narrow- and wide-bodies are IMHO not needed because obvious. I disagree that this is obvious. Maybe it's obvious to you and me as to which Boeing models are narrow/wide-bodies, but not to the average reader who is unfamiliar with commercial aircraft. -ZLEA_T\^C07:57, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Overlapping production times: read the bottom of the template.

Just use a different colour from new production start until the end of old production. And specify the colours in the legend.

The overlapping times are surrounded by specifically coloured cells,, so only one colour is IMHO preferred, but if you like, its possible to specify them in narrow- and wide-bodies.87.150.120.96 (talk)10:13, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That makes more sense, and I'm not opposed to this. On a side note, I just noticed and corrected an error with this overlap. It previously stated that 747-8 production began in 2011, when it actually began in 2008. 2011 was the year it was introduced to cargo airline service. -ZLEA_T\^C17:28, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
