I am starting a small series on the “odd variants” of some aircraft types. This is the first post 🙂 Please upvote if you would like to see more ✈️

Honeywell owns a 757-200 with RR-engines. They have fitted their 757 with a small, 3rd, wing to test avionics, engines and other instruments. So far it has carried a jet engine, prop engine and instruments..

It is an early 757 from 1983: the 5th delivered 757. Delivered to the now defunct Eastern Airlines. Honeywell aquired it in 2005 as N757HW.

    Well if the extra engine is turned off, it’ll probably be the first time you ever hear an instructor say “More left rudder!”
