Boeing 757 Family

The Boeing 757 is a twin-engine, single-aisle transport family developed alongside the widebody 767. It combined a computerized two-pilot flight deck, high-bypass turbofans, efficient aerodynamics, and strong short-field and high-altitude performance in a medium-range airframe. Passenger, freighter, and government-transport versions remain in service, while the shared 757/767 cockpit concept gave airlines unusual crew commonality across narrowbody and widebody aircraft.
