Forum member Grey Havoc has kindly reminded me that Wikipedia gives a very detailed list of Boeing's customer codes (i.e. the extensions that follow a particular airliner model number to indicate the airliner or agency that ordered the version).

It can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Boeing_customer_codes
 
Forum member MrChips has made a great job of updating the information on the airliner versions. Thanks a bunch to him.

Does anyone have any drawings of the Hydrogen powered variant?
 
With thanks to hesham, here's a couple of the proposed designs:

Impressive to think Boeing build 16 000 airliners out of the same "aluminum cabin tube" : 1000*707s, 1000*757s, 2000*727s, and (so far) 12000*737s (rounded numbers of course)
Now that was quite a modular "tube", just think about it: 4*engines underwings (707), 3*engines in the back (727), then 2*engines underwings (737 & 757).
Also interesting to note that a few years apart, Dassault (Mercure) and Airbus (A320) thought alike: they expressly added a few inches to the basic 707/727/737/757 diameter / width. In fact the Mercure and A320 almost ended with the exact same fuselage diameter, a touch larger than a 737. Obviously a deliberate move to deliver a more capable aircraft than Boeing... a little more room for the passengers.
