Grin Im back again! oh no i hear you say but yes i am.
So anyways relating to my other question on the largest fleet, who has the most different types of aircraft in service, this is compleate types of aircraft not differnt series. Cheers again

I promise i will stop asking pointless questions soon but im in one of those moods recently, i will work on some meaning-full ones!

even searching has turned up little. I would guess that it goes to either BA or air france/KLM. other contenders would be United

Mmmm, very tricky - it may be case of even delving deeper than what we think are the obvious ones. Wish I had the Flight International world airline directory here...

Air France operate 16 different types, although this includes subsiduaries, and the Airbus A318/19/20/21 as separate types....

A tricky one that - from what I understand netjets is basically a leasing company of some sort of the other. So if we're talking airlines it might not be entirely true...

And some of those aircraft are very closely related, such as the "Hawker 800/1000" (come on, we all know they're HS125's really, a nice old British aeroplane  Tongue Wink )

In that case the 757 and 767 count as the same plane as do the A318, 319, 320, and 321. Wink The 800 and the 1000 are entierly different aircraft that just look a little a like. Besides, the 800XP isn't an HS125.

Isn't the 757 single ailse (6 abreast) and the 767 a wide body (8 abreast twin ailse)? Tongue

I was merely referring to its British lineage of Hawker Siddeley and De Havilland. I'm sure inside it's a very different aircraft... Wink

And the 800 is 6 seats and the 1000 is 9 seats. See what I mean, you just can't compare them (I don't mean to sound like a smart ass, sorry if I do) Smiley

the 757 do have different wings, compared to the 767.
The 757 is a  supercritical wing design, sporting a 25° swept back angle, compared to the 767's 31.5°, I think that's a big difference...no?

Yes! Wink Grin Smiley (I went to University where the new Campus was called De Havilland Campus and we had a statue of Sir Geoffrey outside...)

I remember pointing this out in another thread, quite recently in fact. Wink http://www.britishaircraft.co.uk/aircraftpage.php?ID=656

Unfortunately the last in a long line of DH civil aircraft. Sad
