The Boeing 757 is an American narrow-body airliner designed and built by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. The then-named 7N7, a twinjet successor for the trijet 727, received its first orders in August 1978. The prototype completed its maiden flight on February 19, 1982, and it was FAA certified on December 21, 1982.

The then-named 7N7, a twinjet successor for the 727 (a trijet), received its first orders in August 1978. The prototype completed its maiden flight on February 19, 1982 and it was FAA certified on December 21, 1982. Eastern Air Lines placed the original 757-200 in commercial service on January 1, 1983.

It is the manufacturer's largest single-aisle passenger aircraft and was produced from 1981 to 2004. The twinjet has a two-crew member glass cockpit, turbofan engines of sufficient power to allow takeoffs from relatively short runways and higher altitudes, a conventional tail and, for reduced aerodynamic drag, a supercritical wing design.

Given ‘7N7’ as a working title, the new aircraft would showcase – among other elements – recent advances in construction techniques together with improved high-bypass turbofan engines.

Early 7N7 and 757 concepts featured a "T-tail" with under-wing engines, but a conventional tail was ultimately adopted. The 757 retains the same upper-fuselage diameter as the previous Boeing 707, 727, and 737.

Mar 17, 2021 · By 1978, Boeing had designs for two variants of what it called the 7N7 (later, the 757). The first, designated as the 7N7-100, had the ability to seat about 160 people (or about 10-15% more than that of the leading 737 for the day).

Studies focused on improving the 189-seat 727-200, the most successful 727 variant. Two approaches were considered, a stretched 727 (to be designated 727-300), and an all-new aircraft code-named 7N7.
