Narrow-body aircraft
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A typical narrow-body airliner has a fuselage diameter of 3 to 4 metres (10 to 13 ft), and seats arranged 2 to 6 abreast along a single aisle.
In contrast, a wide-body aircraft is a larger airliner with a fuselage diameter of 5 to 6 metres (16 to 20 ft) and twin aisles. Passengers are usually seated 7 to 10 abreast. For comparison, typical wide-body aircraft can accommodate between 200 and 600 passengers, while the largest narrow-body aircraft currently in widespread service (the Boeing 757-300) carries a maximum of about 250.
Examples of popular narrow-body aircraft include:
