Improved aluminum alloys, primarily in the wing skins, save 610 pounds (276 kilograms). Advanced composites such as graphite/epoxy are used in control surfaces (including rudder, elevators and ailerons), aerodynamic fairings, engine cowlings and landing gear doors for a weight savings of 1,100 pounds (500 kilograms). Another 650 pounds (295 kilograms) of weight savings is attributable to carbon brakes, which have the added advantage of longer service life than conventional steel brakes.BI223469 (617423a)Maximum size:2861px × 2883px (~23 MB)9.5in × 9.6in (300dpi)License type:Rights ManagedKeywords:1980s-757 family-airplanes-black-close-ups-commercial-commercial passenger planes-day-detail views-exteriors-ground shots-jets-LANDING GEAR POSITIONS-landing gears-main wheels-monoplanes-out of production-photos-tarmac-wet-wheels-whiteRelated Photo/Videos:View All
