Boeing 757-200, serial number 22191, entered service with NASA as N557NA. The aircraft serves as a research platform for various scientific and aerospace programs. Operated by NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center, it has been used for aeronautical testing, atmospheric research, and the development of advanced flight systems. The aircraft is equipped with specialized instrumentation and experimental equipment to support research missions. Powered by Rolls Royce RB211 engines, the 757-200 provides stable performance and sufficient range for extended research flights. N557NA continues to contribute to NASA's aviation and environmental science programs.
Designed as a narrow-bodied, twin-engined airliner to replace the 727, the 757 was first flown on February 19th, 1982. Developed in tandem with the wide-bodied 767 twinjet, both aircraft share a common digital cockpit layout and are operated by a two man flight crew. Thanks to a proven reliability track-record, the 757 is approved for extended twin engine operations (ETOPS) making it a popular choice for airlines flying transatlantic routes. A total of 1050 aircraft were built before production ceased in 2004, however many airframes have since been retrofitted with drag-reducing blended winglets to help improve fuel economy. © Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
