Boeing 757
The Boeing 757 is a single-aisle airliner with two engines hung under a low wing, built at Boeing's Renton factory near Seattle. The FAA certified it in December 1982. Boeing decided in 2003 to end production, and the 1,050th and last 757 was delivered in April 2005, when more than 1,030 were still in service. The family has three main versions: the 757-200 passenger jet, the 757-200 package freighter with no cabin windows, and the 757-300, stretched in two places for more seats and cargo.
