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.
