List of airliners: 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 ...

List of airliners: Encyclopedia II - Boeing 757 - Introduction

The 757 (originally designated "7N7") was designed by Boeing to complement the 767 on less dense routes. It has transatlantic range, and was one of the earliest ETOPS-rated airliners. As it needs to fly high and far, it is fitted with relatively high-thrust engines. Originally conceived as the Boeing 727-300, a stretched variant over the 727-200, the 757 was a newer design. For better economics, the passenger capacity is increased by 50 over the 727. The 757 uses many of the same components as the widebody 767, and the two planes have a comm ...

List of airliners: Encyclopedia II - Boeing 727 - Uses

In addition to domestic flights of medium range, the 727 proved extremely popular with international passenger airlines. The range of flights it could cover (and the additional safety built in with its third engine) meant that the 727 would prove efficient for short to medium range international flights in areas around the world. The 727 also has proved popular with cargo airlines and charter airlines. Federal Express began the cargo airline revolution in 1975 utilizing 727s. Many cargo airlines worldwide now employ the 727 as a work ...

List of airliners: 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 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 composite ...
