- 1). Look for a twin-engine jet airliner.
- 2). Note the jet engines will resemble those on a 747 - disproportionately larger at the intake when compared to the exhaust.
- 3). Check the wings, which seem to be thinner and smaller compared to the size of the fuselage.
- 4). Note the 757's wings are swept back somewhat less than most modern jet airliners.
- 5). Note the slight droop to the nose. The point of the nose drops below the centerline of the fuselage.
- 6). Check the tail. The vertical stabilizer is quite tall. The horizontal stabilizers are mounted at fuselage midpoint, and the fuselage comes to a point at the end of the tail cone.
- 7). Consider the 757 in its entirety. While similar to the 767, the 757 has a thinner fuselage and seems quite elegant in appearance.
