This used to be the MD-95 until the merger of MD and Boeing.
Its a "narrow body" airplane meaning it only has 1 aisle in it. Its a twin engine, both in the back, attached close to the rudder. It can fit a maximum of 117 passengers. The engines are Rolls Royce Deutchland BR 715s.
What should you expect when flying in this airplane?: Expect pretty quiet flight, unless your in the back. The seat should be pretty good also, since their a new model, but I haven't been on it yet.
This is perhaps one of the most famous and most built planes to date. There have been 9 series of this aircraft, the ones in manufacture today are the 737-600, 700, 800, and 900. Its a "narrow body" aircraft that can carry up to 132 passengers. Its another twin engine aircraft with CFM International engines. Though this time they are located under the wings.
What to expect: Nice flight. Quiet, and nice seats. Usually has more recline than a 747 or so in coach. But, its a really small plane, so don't expect too much.
This is called the best known aircraft in the world. It started the term "Jumbo Jet". There are 4 "base models", the one currently being built is the 747-400. Its a "wide-body" aircraft which means it has 2 aisles. It carries usually 421 passengers. It has 4 engines built either by GE, Pratt & Whitney, or Rolls Royce, and they are located under the wing.
What to expect: A LOT OF FUN. This aircraft is huge, you'll be in shock when you see it. And the new ones have video games you can play.
This is a regulary used aircraft, nothing special about it, no fame to it, just a good airplane. There are 2 models the -200, and -300. Its a "narrow body" jet that can carry up to 239 people. It has 2 underwing engines that are either built by Pratt & Whitney or Rolls Royce.
What to expect: A very comforable journey, its a good reliable plane that gets the job done. Its asthetically pleasing, and like the "KISS" theory, "Keep it simple stupid."
This jet is another regulary used jet, in fact even less than the 757. There 3 models of this, almost the same numbering as 757. Though, this is a "wide-body" airplane, and seats up to 8 across, with a total of 328. It has 2 underwing engines that are built by either Pratt & Whitney, or GE.
What to expect?: I don't know never been on it at all. My best guess is to follow the guide on the 777 below this.
This jet is the one of the newest models to be made. All planes are at max 6 yrs. old. There are 2 "basic" models the -200, and -300. Its a wide body airplane that carry up to 440 passengers. It has 2 HUGE underwing engines built by either: Pratt & Whitney, GE, or Rolls Royce.
What to expect?: A really nice flight. EVERY plane has a personal television, with games, and many news channels. They also have many kinds of music available. The seats are also OH SO COMFORTABLE.
This biblography also applies to the Airbus Page. So imagine this is down there as well.
