Boeing 757-200 (RR RB211-535E4)
role : jet airliner
importance : ****
first flight : operational : October 1984 (Eastern Airlines)
ICAO aircraft type designator : B752
country : United States of America
design :
production : 757-200 : 913 (production ended 2004)
general information :
With these engines from December 1986 ETOPS flights were allowed.
On April 8, 1988, a delivery flight was made for Air Europe, it flew non-stop from Seattle to Palma de Mallorca, a distance of 9244 km, flown in 10 hours and 21 min (average 893 km/hr).
By March 1990, a total of 632,757s had been ordered and 270 had been delivered. These engines gave 76% more seat km per kg fuel than the 727-200.
In May 1986, the first Extended Range (ER) version was delivered to Royal Brunei Airlines. There is also an executive version.
On September 3, 1987, the first cargo version, designated 757-200PF, was delivered to UPS. It has a large cargo door and can accommodate 15 standard pallets and is equipped with the PW2040 engine of 185.5KN. It has no windows.
The 757-200M Combi made its first flight on July 15, 1988. It has a large cargo door and can accommodate three plates of 2.24 x 2.74 m and 150 passengers. Royal Nepal Airlines was launch customer with a copy. This was delivered on 15 September 1988. It remained with this single order.

757-23N LY-SKJ in service of Air Niamey on November 24, 2008 left landing gear collapsed while taxiing at Garoua airport, Cameroun and comes to a stop leaning on the left engine. The plane wanted to take off for a Hajj flight to Mecca. All pilgrims quickly leave the plane with no injuries. It was reported that there were no less than 307 passengers on board, so far above the exit limit of 239 passengers. At 80 [kg] per passenger, the weight comes to 24560 [kg], so already above the maximum payload and then no luggage has been counted, no wonder the 757 didn't feel like it and went through its hooves. The aircraft was borrowed from Aurela for this charter, but it continues to deny that it was their aircraft that was involved in this incident.
