Initially designed as an aircraft meant for routes that needed more seats than a smaller 737, the 200-290 seat Boeing 757 has taken on a variety of different roles, becoming well-loved by aviation enthusiasts. Today we examine why Boeing has yet to update the jet - particularly in light of the 737, 777, and 747 receiving their own generational updates over the years…

It is often said that the 757 was overengineered and that Boeing made it too capable to be able to produce it economically.

@stephenfienberg8765 8 ай бұрын

The A321 seems to have taken the 757's market. Many carriers like Delta and Iceland Air are replacing their 757s with A321s.

American Airlines retired its 757s and mostly flies A319s A321s and 737-800s for medium haul routes.

Simply put, it was the perfect airplane, and it's hard to improve upon perfection.

The 757 underlying systems are still more modern than the 737-MAX. That is still back in the 1960s.

It is closer to A320NEO than 737MAX which is essentially NOT FLY-BY-WIRE.

I think one thing often overlooked was how customers of older 737s at the time wanted boeing to stick to the 737 because it will be cheaper for them. Boeing at one point I believe was actually considering moving on from the 737 entirely, focusing on the 757 rather than developing the 737 NG.

@gteixeira 8 ай бұрын

Reasonable person: the 737 has nearly all 757 capabilities and is much cheaper to operate. 757 fanboy: the 757 was the best and always be the best, bring it back on the airlines and passenger dime so I can spot then taking off and landing.

Simple, if the 757 was still around Boeing couldn't sell the 737 long range variants. The 757 is far superior to the 737's.
