Den originale Boeing 757

[LN-MOW]

Litt julegøy ... Merk halen ..

By 1978, the 7N7 studies focused on two variants: a 7N7-100 with seating for 160, and a 7N7-200 with capacity for over 180 seats. The T-tail configuration of the 727 remained along with its narrow-body construction, forward fuselage, and flight deck layout, while a redesigned wing and new under-wing engines were added. Boeing touted the 7N7 as offering the lowest fuel burn per passenger-mile of any narrow-body airliner. On August 31, 1978, the 7N7 received its first airline commitments when Eastern Air Lines and British Airways announced launch orders totaling 40 aircraft for the 200 version. At this point, the T-tail was eliminated.

Det hadde sett flott ut i virkeligheten! Minner meg litt om hvordan passasjerfly blir tegnet i diverse animasjonsserier.

Litt mer om utviklingen og det som endte opp som 757 tilslutt

But someday-if fate cooperates, if the wager pays off, if enough of the twin-engined jetliners are sold-the 757 will become hugely profitable. Or at least that's Boeing's hope.
