The codes are in the form of two letters and/or digits which are appended to the aircraft's model designator, as seen in the following examples: A Boeing 377-10 ordered by Pan American World Airways with customer code 26 would be designated 377-10-26. [1] [note 1] A Boeing 707-100 ordered by Qantas with customer code 38 would be designated as ...
2 prototypes, and 3 engineering and manufacturing development aircraft [1] The Boeing–Saab T-7 Red Hawk , [ 2 ] initially known as the Boeing T-X (later Boeing–Saab T-X ), [ 3 ] [ 4 ] is an American–Swedish transonic advanced jet trainer produced by Boeing with Saab .
Development lasted from 1990 through 1998, with communication systems, pilot seat/ejection system, armaments, and other systems not needed for unmanned flight removed. Remote sensing, remote control, automatic flight control system, and range instrumentation system needed to measure and record the off distance of AAM are added.
Control panel for a Boeing 737-800 ECS. In aeronautics, an environmental control system (ECS) of an aircraft is an essential component which provides air supply, thermal control and cabin pressurization for the crew and passengers. Additional functions include the cooling of avionics, smoke detection, and fire suppression.
Turbofan engines with a bypass ratio of less than 2 (usually less than 1). These engines were commonly used on narrow body jet airliners of the 1960s and 1970s, some business jets from the same time period, and on modern fighter aircraft .
This was derived from the General Electric J85/CJ610 turbojet 2,850 lbf (12,700 N) to power the larger Rockwell Sabreliner 75/80 model aircraft, as well as the Dassault Falcon 20, with about a 50% increase in thrust to 4,200 lbf (19,000 N). The CF700 was the first small turbofan to be certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA ...

The second family is the 100 inch (2.5 m) fan engine developed specifically for the Airbus A330 twinjet, and the third family has a diameter of 112-inch (2.8 m) designed to power Boeing 777. The Pratt & Whitney F119 and its derivative, the F135 , power the United States Air Force's F-22 Raptor and the international F-35 Lightning II , respectively.
