N7213U

This airframe, registered as N7213U, is a Boeing built in 1960 carrying manufacturer's serial number 18045. The airframe is a Boeing 720-022, produced by The Boeing Company, and is documented as owned by Boeing Co (a corporation based in Renton, WA, US). The registration is United States (US), and the aircraft’s recorded ownership history shows it remaining with its manufacturer; retained by Boeing Co as a corporate-owned airframe. No public sale valuation or disposition record is published for this specific airframe in the provided data.

The cabin for this airframe is configured in an approximately 143 passenger single-class layout, typical of Boeing 720-022 airline configurations. Given its four JT3C-7 turbofan engines and a cruise speed of 540 kts, the aircraft profile suits medium- to long-range mainline trunk routes within its 3,680 nm range capability, operating up to a service ceiling of 42,000 ft. As a factory-owned airframe based in Renton, WA, operational support and heavy maintenance would logically be coordinated through Boeing’s facilities; the use of early-generation JT3C engines implies maintenance and parts support are specialized and may require legacy component sourcing or overhaul shop support for these older powerplants.

The Boeing 720-022 represents a narrow-body, four-engine derivative in the early jet transport era, optimized for higher cruise speeds and transcontinental missions within its stated range. Its combination of a 143-seat single-class cabin and a 540 kts cruise makes it competitive in its historical niche against contemporary early-jet designs. Present-day buyer or charter demand for an airframe with vintage JT3C engines and 1960 construction would be constrained by maintenance, certification, and parts availability considerations, factors that materially affect resale and operational economics for this specific serial 18045.
