About
The DC-7C Seven Seas is the one that finally crossed the Atlantic non-stop westbound against the wind. Douglas added three metres of wing root inboard of each engine — span 38.86 m against 35.81 — which bought fuel and moved the propellers away from the cabin, and the tail stands 9.39 m. Boeing tabulates two standards, 140,000 and 143,000 lb; this row carries the higher, 64,864 kg.
