Naming scheme exception
editThe claim in the head section that it is the "only Boeing-designed production jetliner that does not follow the 7x7 naming scheme" has no citations. A version of the claim was originally added anonymously in https://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Boeing_720&oldid=828761388
I was able to find some (perhaps unreliable) secondary sources that made similar, but not identical, assertions, to the current one, usually with the a caveat similar to "to this date".
This seems like original research and trivia that does not belong in the head section.

- It was added here without explanation. Some naming text is in the body but none supports this claim, entry removed. Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 08:47, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
Boeing 720-023B as a variant?
editThe Boeing 720-023B should be considered one of the variants despite only having one aircraft produced Sizzlepop1 (talk) 13:59, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- The 023 is the customer code for American Airlines, the original operator. There were 25 720-023B, 10 converted from the base variant and 15 delivered new. The aircraft I believe is being discussed is the Pratt & Whitney engine test bed C-FETB (ex-American Airlines N7538A). Its modifications would have been approved through a supplemental type certificate (STC). Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 14:28, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
