Default Re: Aircraft types?

Does seem arbitrary, doesn't it? We had a thread dealing with this very subject awhile back, but I don't recall all the particulars. I do know that Boeing went from 2XX to 3XX, then to 7XX in their airliner series. They started with the 707, then the 720, 727, 737, 747, 757, 717, 767, 777, and now the 787. I don't know the story on Airbus.
