The Boeing 757, introduced in 1982, is a narrow-body, twin-engine jet airliner that became a staple for both domestic and international flights. Known for its versatility and efficiency, the 757 was designed to replace the Boeing 727, offering better fuel economy and greater range. Its advanced aerodynamics and powerful engines allowed it to operate from shorter runways and at higher altitudes, making it ideal for a variety of routes. The 757 could accommodate around 200 passengers, depending on the configuration, and was praised for its spacious cabin and reliable performance. Airlines favored the 757 for its ability to serve both densely trafficked airports and regional hubs with equal ease. Despite ceasing production in 2004, the 757 remains in active service with many airlines and cargo carriers, a testament to its enduring design and operational flexibility.
Condition: minor scrapes to the livery, particularly near the nose but overall in very good vintage condition. Please refer to photographs.
Dimensions (including the stand): 187cm wide (nose to tail), 164cm deep (wingspan 70 + 24 + 70), 142cm high (including stand), 50cm high (without stand)
