Boeing 717-200 General Information |
Boeing 717-200 is a twin-engine aircraft designed for short-haul short-field operations. It can carry 106 passengers in a mixed class configuration up to a range of approximately 2000 miles. It is designed to sustain daily 8 to 12 one-hour flights for fast turnaround at airport gates.
The Boeing 717-200 is powered by two advanced BMW/Rolls-Royce BR715 high-bypass-ratio engines. The BR715 engine is rated at 18,500 pounds of takeoff thrust, with lower fuel consumption, reduced exhaust emissions and significantly lower noise levels than the power plants on comparable airplanes. The thrust is uprated to 21,000 pounds for the high-gross-weight option airplanes. An optional airstair under the main entry door number 1 allows operation at airports where there are no loading bridges or portable stairs.
The Boeing 717-200 was last deliverd on May 23, 2006. A large 717 operator is AirTran and uses the aircraft for short range flights troughout the United States.
