Yup ... those are from a DAL L-1011 ... but 707 engines are so sleek and cool looking with their "air intake" scoop above the nacelle!

Here's a better photo showing a "cleaner" engine ... it's just so sleek and balanced ... like the original 707-320 itself ... just a perfectly proportioned airliner IMHO.

I know it seems corny to be "hooked" on engine nacelle design, but I notice these things ...

I agree, I flew on American's 123's and 323's many times and just loved looking out at them bounce around on the wing.

I just wish that they were reproduced on the models better.

I have seen both views in person. Ports-of-Call 707 SLC-DEN-CUN and back 6-89....and the Delta L-1011 about 200 times 9-95 to 8-01. God i miss looking out the window and seeing cool engines.

I'm not a fan of the 707 that much, so I wouldn't know. Are the leading edge flaps really designed like that? Seeing the other posted 707 leading eges, they look really fixed in a way while these ones hangs like curtains, just dangling in the air. Please share some infos about this 707 leading edge flap config. thanks.

since this morning I am trying to find out about this leading edge flaps
still not yet
=)

I think at this photo is time of raising or deleting flaps. Look it in your 1st video. Flaps are moving not synchronously.

Fascinating photos and videos of the 707, my all time favorite. I have flown on American's all the time and all models.

The leading edge slats are a series of panels that are extended at take off and landing to assist with lift. As you saw they retract after landing with thrust reverse to reduce lift. The 747 leading edge slats also retract after touch down.

Boeing has always made interesting aircraft with neat features..

Let's hope they continue their trend with future aircraft..
