757-200
The Boeing 757-200 is a narrow-body, twin-engine jetliner prized for its exceptional thrust-to-weight ratio, hot-and-high performance, and transcontinental range. Originally designed to replace the 727, its powerful Rolls-Royce RB211 or Pratt & Whitney PW2000 engines make it a favorite for high-altitude airports and long, thin routes. Many remain in service with passenger carriers, freight operators, and as VIP transports.
