There are wide-body airplanes, and there are narrow-body airplanes. Wide-body airplanes have a single aisle of passenger seats, whereas narrow-body airplanes only have one aisle of passenger seats. Below are several facts about narrow-body airplanes, some of which may surprise you.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1) Seats 100 to 240 Passengers<\/h2>\n<p>Narrow-body airplanes seat an average of 100 to 240 passengers. Some have more passenger seats, and others have fewer passenger seats. Regardless, most narrow-body airplanes have 100 to 240 passenger seats. In comparison, wide-body airplanes have up to 850 passenger seats.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2) Originally Designed for Short and Mid-Range Flights<\/h2>\n<p>Narrow-body airplanes were originally designed for short and mid-range flights. In the 1960s, commercial airlines began using twin-engine narrow-body airplanes like the Boeing 737 Classic for short and mid-range flights. As narrow-body airplanes became more powerful, however, commercial airliners began using them for longer flights as well.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3) Fuselage Width of 10 to 13 Feet<\/h2>\n<p>The average width of a narrow-body airplane\u2019s fuselage is about 10 to 13 feet. With only one aisle of seats, they are narrower than their wide-body counterparts. The average width of a wide-body airplane is 13 to 20 feet, making them nearly twice as wide as narrow-body airplanes.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#4) Available in 2 to 6 Abreast Seating Configurations<\/h2>\n<p>You can find narrow-body airplanes in two to six abreast seating configurations. The term \u201cabreast\u201d refers to the number of seats per row. An airplane in a two-abreast seating configuration has two seats per row, whereas an airplane in a six-abreast seating configuration has six seats per row. All narrow-body airplanes still only have a single aisle of seats, but they have two to six seats per row depending on the abreast seating configuration.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#5) The Largest Narrow-Body Airplane Is the Boeing 757-300<\/h2>\n<p>There are dozens of narrow-body airplanes, the largest of which is the Boeing 757-300. It\u2019s even bigger than the Airbus A320, which is another large narrow-body airplane. The Boeing 757-300 has an extended fuselage, allowing it to accommodate up to 295 passengers.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#6) Accounts for 60% of Commercial Fleets<\/h2>\n<p>Narrow-body airplanes account for roughly 60% of commercial airline fleets. Airliners often use them for domestic and regional flights. With their narrow design, they are more fuel efficient than wide-body airplanes. Narrow-body airplanes also take up less space at airports.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- .entry-utility -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Airplanes are often classified according to how many aisles of passenger seats they have.
