The Boeing Stratocruiser was an American four-engined airliner of the 1950's operated by Pan American World Airways, North West Airlines, United Airlines, and BOAC. The Boeing Stratocruiser was the civilian version of the Boeing Model 367 Stratofreighter, and was a low-mid-wing cantilever monoplane of metal construction powered by four Pratt and Whitney R-4360 Wasp-Major twenty-eight-cylinder four-row radial air-cooled engines providing a top speed of 603 kmh and a range of 7360 km. The Boeing Stratocruiser carried between 55 and 100 passengers in a two-deck arrangement, the upper deck accommodating the control cabin and main passenger compartment, the lower deck a passenger lounge and two cargo holds. The standard passenger arrangement carried 67 passengers in the main compartment and 14 in the lower deck lounge. Research Boeing Stratocruiser
