Overview
Program history
The larger cabin followed the stretched 60 as the manufacturer sought to broaden the aircraft’s appeal. The 75 and 75A names occur in the development and marketing history of the family, with the turbofan-powered 75A associated with the later 80. Correctly identifying the engine installation is therefore essential when comparing these aircraft.
