Other advanced features included control surface trim tabs, an autopilot and deicing boots for the wings and tailplane. 60 Boeing 247 were operated by Boeing Air Transport (later United Air Lines) since 1934, remained in airline service until World War II, when several were converted into C-73 transports and trainers.
