The Boeing 757 is a mid-size, narrow-body, twin-engine jet airliner manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. Passenger versions of the aircraft can carry between 186 and 289 passengers, and have a maximum range of 3,100 to 3,900 nautical miles, depending on variant and seating configuration. The 757 has been produced in two fuselage lengths: the original 757-200 entered service in 1983, and the stretched 757-300 entered service in 1999. A production freighter version, the 757-200PF, has been sold along with a combi model, the 757-200M. Passenger models have also been converted to the 757-200SF cargo specification.
Launched with orders from Eastern Air Lines and British Airways in 1978, the Boeing 757 was intended to replace the previous narrow-body 727 trijet on short- and medium-routes. The 757 was conceived and designed in tandem with the Boeing 767, a wide-body twinjet with which it shares design features and two-crew glass cockpits. The operating similarities between the two aircraft allow pilots to obtain a common type rating to operate both jets, after the completion of a transition course. After its introduction, the 757 became commonly used by operators in both the United States and Europe, and particularly with mainline U.S. carriers and European charter airlines. The aircraft has also been acquired for use as government, military, and VIP transport.
