The 757-300, the stretched and longest version of the Boeing 757 variants, entered service with Condor in 1999. [71] With a length of 178.7 ft (54.5 m), the type is the longest single-aisle twinjet ever built, [ 71 ] coming in just shorter than the 187.4 ft (57.1 m) quad-jet DC-8-61/63 .
The aircraft involved was a Boeing 757-204 registered as G-BYAG. It was manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes in 1992 with a manufacturer serial number of 26965 and was delivered to Britannia Airways in 1993. Two Rolls-Royce turbofan engines were installed on the aircraft. It was configured with 235 passenger seats, most being triple seat ...
The rules have also allowed American legacy carriers (United Airlines and Delta Air Lines in particular) to use the Boeing 757 on "long and thin" transatlantic routes between their major hubs and secondary European cities [16] that cannot generate the passenger demand to justify the use of a widebody airliner.
A Boeing 737 from Southwest Airlines: 747: 18 wheels [1x2]+[4x4] A Boeing 747-400's main landing gear. Note the toes-up bias angle of the bogies on the wing gear, to ensure correct stowage upon retraction: 707, 720, 757, 767, 787: 10 wheels [1x2]+[2x4] A Boeing 757-200 from British Airways: 777: 14 wheels [1x2]+[2x6] A Boeing 777-200 from ...
Advanced Supersonic Transport (AST) model in wind tunnel. The aircraft design process is a loosely defined method used to balance many competing and demanding requirements to produce an aircraft that is strong, lightweight, economical and can carry an adequate payload while being sufficiently reliable to safely fly for the design life of the aircraft.
However, after a number of accidents where smaller aircraft following closely behind a 757 crashed, tests were carried out showing the 757 generated stronger wake vortices than a Boeing 767. [8] The rules were changed so that controllers are required to apply special wake turbulence separation criteria specified in paragraph 5-5-4 in the FAA ...
A C-32A dwarfed by a VC-25A at Paris-Orly Airport, 2009. The C-32A is the military designation for the Boeing 757-2G4, a variant of the Boeing 757-200, a mid-size, narrow-body twin-engine jet airliner—that has been modified for government VIP transport use, including a change to a 45-passenger interior and military avionics.

Center-of-Gravity Limits Center of gravity (CG) limits are specified longitudinal (forward and aft) and/or lateral (left and right) limits within which the aircraft's center of gravity must be located during flight. The CG limits are indicated in the airplane flight manual. The area between the limits is called the CG range of the aircraft.
