Boeing 757
The 757 was developed as a replacement of the
727 but this twinjet was less successful than its predecessor. Production was
terminated in 2004 with a total of 1050 delivered. The 757 can easily be
identified by its combination of a thin fuselage with big Rolls-Royce or
Pratt&Whitney engines.
For the modelplane both engine nacelle
variants - RR or P&W
- are available. The flight
characteristics are good. Because of the large vertical stabilizer rudder
movement gives sufficient control in case of an engine failure.
