Table 2 Notes : Boeing Aircraft
Boeing Commercial Airplane Group is the
largest manufacturer of civil aircraft in the world. They currently manufacture and market
a range of aircraft from the small B737 (108 seats) to the B747-400 (412 seats). Several
versions of their earlier aircraft (B707 and B727) now out of production, are still in
operation. The Boeing 717-200 is a new design, formerly known as the MD95, and was
inherited during the recent merger with McDonnell Douglas. The aircraft is essentially a
modernised DC9-30 with new engines, cockpit and revised systems. The product has enabled
Boeing to gain a rapid presence in the 100 seat airliner market. The B737 range of
aircraft in production (-300, -400, -500) are small twin-engined single-aisle feeder
liners with capacity from 108 to 162 seats for stage lengths up to 3000nm. New variants
(-600, -700 and -800) were launched in 1994 featuring a new wing and higher weights to
improve payload/range characteristics. Currently classic (-300, -400, -500)
and next generation variants are being produced in parallel but production of classic
variants is slowing.

Table 3 Notes : Boeing Aircraft
The Boeing 747 aircraft was first flown in
1969. Since then over 1000 aircraft have been sold. In 1988 the company decided to improve
the payload/range characteristics of the aircraft and launched the -400 series. From 1990
this variant has been the only one marketed by Boeing. The B757 aircraft is a medium range
(approx. 3000nm) narrow bodied 200 seat aircraft. A stretched version was launched in
1997, the first stretch of the initial design since it entered service 16 years ago. The
B767 is a medium to long range aircraft taking about 200 to 250 passengers in a twin aisle
(wide body) layout over 3000 to 6000nm stages.
The (ER) notation stands for extended range
aircraft in which extra fuel is carried in place of some payload.

Table 4 Notes : Boeing Aircraft
Versions of Boeing's latest aircraft (B777)
are shown in this table. The design was started in 1989 and first entered service in 1995.
It is a wide bodied, twin-engined, medium-long range (4000 to 7000nm) aircraft carrying
between 300 and 375 passengers. Several variants of the aircraft are proposed starting
with the smaller capacity and extending to larger payloads and longer ranges. The aircraft
is powered by either GE, PW or RR high-bypass turbofan engines.
