What is the most advanced commercial airliner?

Boeing 787 Dreamliner, the world’s most modern aircraft.

Who makes Boeing 737 engines?

CFM International
Each 737 MAX will use a pair of LEAP-1B jet engines developed by CFM International, a joint venture between GE Aviation and Safran Aircraft Engines of France.

Why do planes have rear wings?

The wings have additional hinged, rear sections near the body that are called flaps. The spoilers are also used during landing to slow the plane down and to counteract the flaps when the aircraft is on the ground. The next time you fly on an airplane, notice how the wing shape changes during takeoff and landing.

Why are the jet engines placed their wings and tail?

Placing engines on the wing provides beneficial wing bending relief in flight. The further the engines are away from the fuselage the greater the wing bending relief so engines buried in the wing root provide little relief.

What type of jet has two engines on the rear fuselage?

If the airliner has two engines mounted on the side of the rear fuselage, then it is probably a Boeing 717, MD-80 variant, a Bombardier CRJ jet airliner or Embraer ERJ jet airliner. Shown below is an American Eagle ERJ-145 regional jet with its twin jets mounted on the rear of the fuselage.

Why are jet engines mounted above the wings of planes?

Mounting jet engines above the wings (see: Antonov An 72, Boeing YC-14) takes advantage of the Coandă effect to increase lift and improve short-field takeoff and landing performance. The high-velocity engine exhaust (I’m hand-waving a bit here) adheres to the surface and allows the wing to produce lift somewhat longer than it could otherwise.

What makes a jetliner different from other planes?

Moreover, each jetliner has one more a much smaller engine in the tail, which plays a prominent role in smooth running of an airplane. Let’s start from the beginning!

Why are some aircraft longer than others?

Rear engines and T-tail also result in a significantly longer aircraft in relation to the length of the passenger cabin. Even the overall length of the shortest DC-9-10 is about 4 feet longer than the 737-200 although the passenger cabin is several feet shorter. The 727-200 is also a few inches longer than the 707-320.
