One of my favorite pictures is from 2007 when Boeing lined them all up and you can just how big the 747 is.

Of those aircraft, the upper lobe of the 707, 727, 737 and 757 is the same. There's a lot of history still being carried over into aircraft manufactured today.

Indeed. I find it fascinating that the widespread modern generations of the 737 still have largely (or maybe entirely?) the same fuselage design as the now-ancient 707.
