747 used the same tech as 707, only was bigger.
Huh? High-bypass engines? INS? A spot of Whitcomb's area rule too?

If some guys today react the way they do a small number of 787 problems, they would have hanged themselves over DC10 safety and reliability record.
That must be the reason DC-10 outsold rival TriStar 2:1.
