This is a very general answer. The first Boeing jet built was a proposal for the U.S. airforce to be used as a flying tanker to refuel long range jet bombers. The civilian version was called the 720. When Douglas introduced their DC-8, Boeing took the design of the 720, widened it and lengthened it and called it the 707. The 707 was the most popular passenger jet used during its time.
