It was a mid-size, narrow-body twin-engine aircraft that can carry 200 to 289 passengers for a maximum of 3,150 to 4,100 nautical miles (5,830 to 7,600 km), depending on variant. The Boeing 767 became the twin-aisle version and the Boeing 757 was the single-aisle aircraft.

The result was two airframes that covered both markets in the B757/B767 Series as both had the commonality of cockpit layouts and the exchange of many parts and systems on both aircraft. Boeing knew that most airlines wanted a larger twin-aisle aircraft, but there was also significant demand for a single-aisle version as well. It came to the point in time where Boeing was faced with replacing its most successful aircraft (at that time) - The Boeing 727 that operated on the most important short and medium routes. The B757 also creates a bigger workload in the cockpit - so you have been warned.Īfter the success of the original Boeing series of aircraft in the 707/727/737/747. This is one of the great attractions of the Boeing 757 as it can keep both the older and more modern pilots happy and fulfilled.

It is a more manual hands-on aircraft and its systems are in that magnificent tween period of the transition from the standard dial and gauge cockpit to the all glass (display) cockpits of the modern era. But it is also a very different aircraft than the B777 Worldliner in the fact it is a generation older than its bigger Boeing brother. I'll let you relax early and note that it is, and in many areas better. The question is that "could the Boeing 757-Series be as good or even better than the acclaimed Boeing 777-Series"? However the B777 Worldliner was a very high standard to reach. The announcement of the Boeing 757 series as the next release aircraft would certainly create a ready made market for the aircraft. The release created another upward step in the evolution of simulation standards towards realism and replication of real world aircraft operations. The response was overwhelming in the simulation world of the standard that the aircraft represented in the way of quality, but more so in the depth of the systems and the excellent FMC (Flight Management Computer). FlightFactor with VMAX released their first X-Plane aircraft in the Boeing 777-200ER Worldliner and later the add-on variants (Extended) of the Longer -300 and Cargo version.
