Boeing Model 757
В начале 1978 года компания "Boeing" объявила о решении приступить к разработке новой линейки самолетов с двумя двигателями, при создании которых должны использоваться прогрессивные технологии, а обозначения присваиваться ДальшеMore>>>
по формуле 7X7. Планировалось, что это будут пассажирские Model 757, Model 767 и Model 777, причем первый отличался от остальных модификаций тем, что в нем сохранялось такое же поперечное сечение фюзеляжа, как и на модификации Model 727. Более того, первоначально вариант Model 757 даже планировался с аналогичными 727-й модели Т-образным хвостовым оперением и носовой частью фюзеляжа, и только позже конструкторы изменили свое решение. В итоге вариант Model 757 получил стандартное хвостовое оперение, с нижним расположением стабилизаторов, а также фюзеляж, имевший новую форму носовой части и позволивший унифицировать пилотскую кабину с самолетом Model 767.
Ближне- и среднемагистральный пассажирский самолет Model 757 должен был, по задумке "Boeing", стать самым экономичным в мире авиалайнером в своем классе. Это планировалось достичь благодаря новому крылу, двигателям с высокой степенью двухконтурности и внедрению новой авионики, которая позволила бы экипажу более эффективно управлять самолетом.
Стартовые заказы на первую модификацию Model 757-200 (вариант Model 757-100 с фюзеляжем меньшей длины в серию так и не пошел) поступили 31 августа 1978 года: 19 авиалайнеров заказала авиакомпания "British Airways", a "Eastern Air Lines" подписала контракт на 21 самолет.
Разработчик рассматривал два варианта силовой установки - с турбовентиляторными двигателями Rolls-Royce RB.211-535 или General Electric CF6-32. Но последний был отклонен еще на начальной стадии проектирования, вместо него выбрали Pratt & Whitney PW2000 - вначале остановились на модели PW2037, но затем предпочтение отдали более мощному PW2040. Стартовые заказчики - "British Airways" и "Eastern Air Lines" - выбрали для своих авиалайнеров двигатель "Rolls-Royce". Таким образом, впервые в своей истории компания "Boeing" начала серийный выпуск нового пассажирского самолета с двигателями неамериканского производства.
Экипаж авиалайнера состоит из двух или трех человек, в их распоряжение входило электронное оборудование нового поколения, включающее инерциальную систему с лазерными гироскопами, компьютерную систему управления полетом и цифровой компьютер летных данных, позволившие осуществлять автоматическое управление самолетом, начиная с момента вскоре после взлета и включая посадку.
Первый полет машина совершила 19 февраля 1982 года, а в январе следующего года первый авиалайнер вышел на маршрут авиакомпании "Eastern Air Lines". Выпуск Model 757 был завершен только в 2005 году, поставлены 1050 самолетов.
Варианты
Model 757-200PF (Package Freighter): грузовая модификация, разработанная специально для компании "UPS"; отличалась большим грузовым люком, не имела иллюминаторов
Model 757-M Combi: комбинированный пассажирский/грузовой вариант; кабина с иллюминаторами, грузовой люк впереди на левом борту; самолет способен перевозить до 150 пассажиров и три грузовых контейнера
Model 757-200F: грузовая модификация, разработанная "Pemco Aeroplex" в качестве варианта конверсии базовой машины и отличавшаяся большим грузовым люком, а также возможностью оперировать в одном из вариантов - "комби" или полностью грузовой, или с быстрой сменой конфигурации
Model 757-200X: вариант Model 757-200 с большей дальностью полета; использованы крыло и ряд компонентов от Model 757-300
Model 757-300: удлиненный вариант, анонсированный в 1996 году после получения твердого заказа от компании "Condor Flugdienst" на 12 самолетов. Длина больше на 7,09 м, чем у Model 757-200, максимальная вместимость - 280 пассажиров; большая масса самолета потребовала усилить крыло, шасси и ряд элементов конструкции фюзеляжа, а удлиненный фюзеляж заставил конструкторов внедрить убираемую хвостовую предохранительную опору. Первый Model 757-300 поднялся в воздух в августе 1998 года, поставки начаты в начале 1999 года
C-32A: четыре VIP-транспорта, созданные по заказу ВВС США на базе Model 757-200 для замены C-137, поставки начаты в середине 1998 года

Following its first flight on 19 February 1982, the Boeing 757 is now entering a phase of intensive testing to achieve certification by December, in a total of about 1,000 flying hours. The Boeing-owned first aircraft, illustrated here, was used for a preliminary airworthiness evaluation by the FAA at Paine Field, Everett, after making its first flight from Renton, and was then transferred to the Boeing Flight Center at Boeing Field, Seattle. During March, flutter clearance was obtained in a record time of 14 hrs 21 min, and the second 757 - in Eastern Air Lines colours - was airborne for the first time on 29 March. Three more 757s are destined to be used for the airworthiness programme. At the time of writing, a total of 123 Boeing 757s is on order for seven airlines, with another 56 on option.
Заказанный еще в 1996 году, этот Boeing 757-300 поступил в эксплуатацию "Condor Flugdienst", дочернюю фирму "Lufthansa", в 1999 году.
Boeing 757 и 767 появились в конце 1970-х годов. Однако прошел ряд лет, прежде чем начали поступать заказы на лайнеры типа 757.

Но в дальнейшем были предложены варианты с двигателями фирмы "Pratt & Whitney".
Boeing 757-200 of British Airways (1999)
В конце 2000 года в "British Airways" (BA) насчитывалось 53 самолета Boeing 757, включая 47 моделей 757-236 (на снимке) и шесть -326ET. Они составляли основу парка среднемагистральных лайнеров компании и использовались для полетов по Европе и на Ближний и Средний Восток. Конфигурация самолетов зависела от маршрута. В силу своей универсальности 757-й хорошо подходил для BA, но самолеты старели и на смену им пришли A320. В 2010 году в BA осталось только пять 757-х.
British Airways was historically one of easyJet's main rivals. The low-cost carrier frequently returned fire at BA in an attempt to carve out its place in the market
