| ARTICLES RELATED TO 757 | | | |  757: Encyclopedia II - Japanese era name - Conversion table from nengō to Gregorian calendar yearsThe Japanese calendars prior to 1873 were derived from the Chinese. Japan adopted the Chinese calendar in 645.
To convert a Japanese year to a Western year, find the first year of the nengō (=era name, see list below). When found, subtract 1, and add the number of the Japanese year. For example, the 23rd year of the Showa Era (Showa 23) would be 1948 ...
1926 − 1 = 1925, then 1925 + 23 = 1948.

Boeing 747 - Development.
The 747 was born from the explosion of air travel in the 1960s. The era of commercial jet transportation, led by the enormous popularity of the Boeing 707, had revolutionized long distance travel and made possible the concept of the "global village." Boeing had already developed a study for a very large airplane while bidding on a US military contract for a huge airlifter. Boeing lost the contract to Lockheed's C-5 Galaxy but came under pressure from its most loyal airline customer, Pan ...

| | | | | 757: Encyclopedia II - Kharijites - Origin The origin of Kharijism lies in the first Islamic civil war: a struggle for political supremacy over the Muslim community in the years following the death of Muhammad.
The third Caliph, Uthman ibn Affan, was killed by mutineers in 656 AD, and a struggle for succession ensued between Ali, the cousin and son-in-law of Muhammad, and Muawiya, governor of Damascus. (The core of Ali's followers later became Shiites.)
In 658, Ali's forces met Muawiya's at the Battle of Siffin; at first, the battle went against Muawiya, but then he hit ...

| | | | | 757: Encyclopedia II - History of Bavaria - Partitions The efforts of the dukes to increase their power and to give unity to the duchy had met with a fair measure of success; but they were soon vitiated by partitions among different members of the family, which for 250 years made the history of Bavaria little more than a jejune chronicle of territorial divisions bringing war and weakness in their train.
The first of these divisions occurred in 1255. Louis II and Henry I, the sons of Duke Otto II, who for two years after their father's death had ruled Bavaria jointly, split their inheritance: Louis II obtained the western part of the duchy, afterwards called Upper Bav ...

| | | | | 757: Encyclopedia II - Ludger - Early Life to Ordination Ludger's parents, Thiadgrim and Liafburg, were wealthy Christian Frisians of noble descent.
In 753 Ludger saw the great Apostle of Germany, Saint Boniface, which, together with the subsequent martyrdom of the saint, made a deep impression on him. At his own request he was sent to the Utrecht Cathedral School (Martinsstift), founded by Saint Gregory of Utrecht in 756 or 757, and made good progress.
In 767 Gregory, who did not wish to receive episcopal consecration himself, sent Alubert, who had come from England to assist ...

The rotor housing was made of sand-cast aluminum plated with chrome, while the aluminum sides were sprayed with molten carbon steel for strength. Cast iron was used for the rotors themselves, and their eccentric shafts were of expensive chrome-molybdenum steel. The addition of aluminum/carbon apex seals addressed the chatter mark problem.

The Space Needle is Seattle's most recognizable landmark, having been featured in the logo of the television show Frasier and the backgrounds of the television series Grey's Anatomy, not to mention countless films. The Needle dates from the 1962 Century 21 Exposition. Contrary to popular belief, the Space Needle is neither the tallest structure in Seattle, nor is it in downtown. This misconception results from the Space Needle often being photographed from Queen Anne ...

The FBI and the 9/11 Commission report say that al-Hazmi and al-Mihdhar first entered the United States in 2000, but the Washington Post and the LA Times report that the two first came in 1999, and that al-Hazmi's name was on their future apartment's lease in November of 1999. Either way, the two definitely attended the 2000 Al Qaeda Summit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He was secretly videot ...

| | | | | 757: Encyclopedia II - ETOPS/LROPS - ETOPS extensions In 1988, the FAA amended the ETOPS regulation to allow the extension to 180 minutes diversion period subject to stringent technical and operational qualifications. This made 95% of the earth's surface available to ETOPS flights. The first such flight was conducted in 1989. This set of regulations was subsequently adopted by the Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA), ICAO and other aviation regulatory bodies worldwide.

| | | | | 757: Encyclopedia II - Boeing 787 - Background When 767 sales began to weaken in the face of competition from the Airbus A330-200 in the late 1990s, Boeing began to consider replacement aircraft. As the Boeing 747-400 was also beginning to lose traction, the company proposed two new aircraft — the Boeing Sonic Cruiser and the 747X.
The Sonic Cruiser was intended to achieve higher speeds (approximately Mach 0.98) while burning fuel at the same rate as the existing 767 and A330 products. The 747X, intended to compete with the Airbus A380, would stretch the 747-400 and give it a co ...

| | | | | 757: Encyclopedia II - Boeing 777 - Variants Boeing uses two characteristics to define their 777 models. The first is the airframe size, which affects the amount of passengers and cargo that can be carried. The 777-200 and derivatives are the base size, while the aircraft was stretched into the 777-300.
The second characteristic is range. Boeing defines three segments:
A market - 3,900 to 5,200 nautical miles (7,220 to 9,630 km)
B market - 5,800 to 7,700 nautical miles (10,740 to 14,260 km)
C market - 8,000 nautical miles (14,815 km) and greater
These markets are also used to compare the ...

Boeing 747-400 - 747-400.
Compared to the 747-300 the 747-400 has 6ft (2m) wing tip extensions and 6ft (2m) winglets, an all-new glass cockpit which dispensed with the need for a flight engineer, tail fuel tanks, revised engines, an all-new interior, revised fuselage/wing fairings and newer in-flight entertainment to the basic design of the -300 series. The -400 entered service with Northwest Airlines on February 9, 1989.
While the wingspan was increased, the overall weight of the wings was decreased due to the use of composites and aluminium alloys.
