The '''Boeing 757-200''' is the definitive version and forms the majority of 757s sold. It shares its fuselage cross section with the smaller [[Boeing 727|727]] and [[Boeing 737|737]]. Boeing positioned the plane above the 737 and as an eventual replacement for the 727. At first it was meant to be a little shorter in length. In the end it was positioned not only above the 737, but also the 727.

The 757-200 introduced an interior that became standard on all narrowbody Boeing aircraft (including the Boeing 737 Classics) until the release of the Next Generation 737, which introduced an updated interior borrowing elements from the [[Boeing 777]]-style interior.
