ROLE
The Boeing 757-300
is a 23.4 ft (7.1 m) stretched version of
the -200, that first flew in August 1998. The 757-300 has the
capacity to seat 289 passengers in a 29-inch (740 mm) pitch
one class cabin, though the highest configuration in airline
service is 280 seats. It has proved popular with charter airlines
for its efficiency and dense capacity. For Boeing to have increased
the fuel capacity, it had to strengthen the undercarriage and other
areas to increase the MTOW.
