Not an airport; Woapedia

With the most recent instagram post, I want to reiterate how much the A321XLR is desired by the community. I know they aren’t delivered yet, but first deliveries are expected in the third quarter of this year. Please consider it devs!

Plz consider the C919 aircraft!

The Boeing 757-300 is the classic “pencil jet” and has been a workhorse for airlines such as United and Condor. Smaller fleets including Icelandair have also used the 757-300 over time, with Icelandair themselves currently having 1 operational in the fleet, with the other being in a special “flag livery” and is due to return to the fleet imminently.

Being such a rare aircraft in the first place (with less than 100 units built) made it Unique, but its extremely high capacity for a narrowbody is what sets it apart, and it’s the longest narrowbody ever built I believe (that or it’s one of the DC-8 variants).

I’m not sure which category it would fit in on WoA, however if it were a big “M” plane then it would be excellent at flying large numbers of passengers over a relatively long distance, as well as providing a cool and unique experience that the 757 provides

The 757 is a much loved aircraft in general, and I feel that we should add the larger variant as well as the smaller one as it is such a beautiful and rare bird to see in the skies.

This would be great, and with the developers confirming a 757 rework is coming in the future, it wouldn’t surprise me if it was added then along with the 757-200F. The 753 has never really taken off with airlines, and is only operated by 4 airlines at the moment (United, Delta, Icelandair & Condor). If it is added, it would be nice to see the listed airlines and it would also be nice to see Thomas Cook and Arkia added. Could have a couple premium arrivals including ATA and Continental.

It would be a great start if the current 757 had more liveries added, liveries such as Jet2/Jet2holidays, TUI, Titan, Aer Lingus and Cabo Verde airlines (TACV). Some older liveries which would work well as regular 757 arrivals could include Thomson Airways, Thomas Cook, Monarch, First Choice and American Airlines chrome. Some additions for the special arrivals could include Air 2000, United Battleship Grey, Air Holland, Transavia and DutchBird. There are many other examples which could also be contenders.

The 752f has been on the feedback page for a while. As noted I think the 753 will come when the original type is updated

Talking about classic beauty (DC8)

[MAX_Lover]

Wow! Would loved to have seen them in real life…

In my opinion Boeing 757-300 would fit in L category as it is considered a heavy jet by FAA and ICAO

[T3X45ranger]

That and the B752 is almost too long for the current M stands in the game, the B753 would stick out like a third of the way lol

[Ecoaviation]

I actually disagree. For me the 757-200 is just enough to fit in the M aircraft category. Don’t get me wrong I do agree that the 757-300 is an L category aircraft

[Bluebird]

It’s not an L plane. It’s based on wingspan, length is irrelevant. Just like how the 777X will be an L plane because the wingtips fold, even though it’s absurdly large.

[ukplanespotter757]

The 777X would probably be an X plane, even with folded wingtips its wingspan is marginally larger than that of a 747-400, and marginally larger than its predecessor the 777-300ER.

The 757-300 is an interesting one to try and put into place though, length and capacity is L, wingspan it’s M.

So it’d be placed into the M category, but still leaves the unanswered question of how will it work with some of the M stands, take INN as an example

[Bluebird]

@ukplanespotter757

The 777X would probably be an X plane, even with folded wingtips its wingspan is marginally larger than that of a 747-400, and marginally larger than its predecessor the 777-300ER.

Nope, the most recent information from the devs regarding the 777X’s size was that it would be an L plane because of its folding wingtips. This was back when the 777X was planned to follow the 77W, but obviously that didn’t pan out.

That might change, but only if the devs decide not to implement the folding feature.

And yeah, wingspan is the ultimatum determination for aircraft size. The 757-300 just might end up looking a little weird on some stands and that’s ok to me personally.

Embraer C-390 Millennium

[Ecoaviation]

I would like to see the Hawker Standby Trident

A classic aircraft from the 1960s also the first M aircraft that has 3 engines in the back (correct me if I’m wrong)

[Jamesonplanes]

Nope I think your correct with that

[QGFSC]

Think it was around the same time Boeing came up with B727 and late 60s with Tupolev for the Tu-154.

COMAC C919
This is a narrow body aircraft made in China, which is currently being used by China Eastern Airlines. In the future, China Southern Airlines, Air China, and Hainan Airlines will also use it.
If I could see this plane at the NGO airport, it would be a cool thing.
