On April 5, 1965, Boeing announced an order by United Airlines for 40 737s. The Boeing 737 Classic is the name of the 737-300/-400/-500. By the early 1990s, while the MD-80 slowly withdraw from the competition leading to introduction of the MD-90, it had become clear that the new A320 family was a serious threat to Boeing's market share, as Airbus won previously loyal 737 customers such as Lufthansa and United Airlines. [163], In 2016, there were 6,512 737 airliners in service (5,567 737NGs plus 945 737-200s and 737 Classics), more than the 6,510 A320 family. [14] Boeing cancelled the Boeing Supersonic Transport and started making less Boeing 747s. It could carry 10 pallets of cargo. [21] This improvement was put onto all aircraft after March 1969. 738: 186. It was a replacement of the 737-200. [8] It began designing the 737 on May 11, 1964. [147] However, in July 2017, Airbus had still 1,350 more A320neo orders than Boeing had for the 737 MAX. This 148-inch (3.76 m) wide fuselage cross-section permitted six-abreast seating compared to the rivals' five-abreast. As of January 1, 2001, 1,945 are in service. [97], This information comes from: Boeing 737 specifications,[98] 737 Airport Planning Report,[99] b737.org.uk site. Close to the next major upgrade of single aisle aircraft at Airbus and Boeing, the price of jet fuel reached a peak in 2008, when airlines devoted 40% of the retail price of an air ticket to pay for fuel, versus 15% in 2000. [21] Lufthansa received its first aircraft on December 28, 1967 and on February 10, 1968, became the first non-American airline to launch a new Boeing aircraft. The improved, higher pressure ratio CFM56-7 turbofan engine on the 737 Next Generation is 7% more fuel-efficient than the previous CFM56-3 on the 737 Classic with the same bypass ratio. The third generation "NG" series: 737-600, -700, -800 and 900 series, also the military C-40 and P-8, launched late 1993. This improvement allowed the flaps to be used more during takeoffs and landing. [32], Boeing made a 737-500 because its customers wanted one. [80] As of January 2019[update], the series has received 5,011 firm orders. The Boeing 737 Next Generation, commonly abbreviated as 737NG, or 737 Next Gen is a narrow-body aircraft powered by two engines and produced by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. It was just a longer version of the 737-300. La historia de la aviación comercial no se puede entender sin la familia 737. After the Boeing 737 Next Generation planes were brought into service, Boeing named the 737-300/-400/-500s the 737 Classic series. This engine burned much less fuel and was much less noisy. [114] The eyebrow windows were sometimes removed and plugged, usually during maintenance overhauls, and can be distinguished by the metal plug which differs from the smooth metal in later aircraft that were not originally fitted with the windows. [45][46][47][48][49][50], Since 2006, Boeing has been thinking about replacing the 737 with a completely new design. Note that the 2020 deliveries consist of NG-based variants and include no 737 MAXs. On average, there are always 1,250 737s flying. 2011 decemberéig több mint 7000 megrendeléssel (a 6000-iket 2009 áprilisában adták át). [88][89] The 737 MAX 7 replaced the 737-700 and was predicted to carry 12 more passengers and fly 400 nmi (740 km) farther than Airbus A319neo with 7% lower operating costs per seat.[90]. [121] This has been raised as a safety issue because of the impracticality of duplicating such a mechanical cable-based system in the way that an electrical or electronic system can be. They were changed into cargo planes by the airlines that owned them. [60] The airline had also converted five more into fixed combi aircraft for half passenger and freight. 737-600: US$59.4 million, 737-700: US$78.3 million, 737-800: US$93.3 million, 737-900ER: US$99.0 million. United wanted a slightly larger capacity than the 737-100, so the fuselage was stretched 36 in (91 cm) ahead of, and 40 in (102 cm) behind the wing. The 737 MAX 7, MAX 8 (including the denser, 200-seat MAX 200), and MAX 9 replace the 737-700, -800, and -900 respectively. As of April 2012, the 737 has been in 315 incidents. [4] ", "Boeing 737-700ER Technical Information. Demand further increased after being re-engined with the CFM56. The Boeing 737 is a narrow-body aircraft produced by Boeing Commercial Airplanes at its Renton Factory in Washington. [81] Developed to supplement the Boeing 727 on short and thin routes, the twinjet retains the 707 fuselage cross-section and nose with two underwing turbofans. (Project 2A2H). [181]:13[182]:ix As a result of the NTSB's findings, the Federal Aviation Administration ordered that the rudder servo valves be replaced on all 737s and mandated new training protocols for pilots to handle an unexpected movement of control surfaces. [24][25], In 1979, Boeing started working on a large improvement for the 737. The dark circles of the tires are clearly visible when a 737 takes off, or is at low altitude. They also moved some parts of the engine, which would normally go on the bottom, to the sides. WestJet was to launch the 737-600 with winglets, but dropped them in 2006. Introduced in 1997, the 737 Next Generation (NG) -600/700/800/900 variants have updated CFM56-7s, a larger wing and an upgraded glass cockpit, and seat 108 to 215 passengers. This is the deadliest air accident involving all variants of the Boeing 737 and also the first accident involving the Boeing 737 MAX. At that time, twelve customers had ordered the package for more than 250 airframes. Alaska Airlines was the launch customer for the 737-900 when it was launched in 1997. The Boeing 737 Next Generation, abbreviated as 737 Next Gen or 737NG, is the name given to the main models -600/700/800/900 series and the extended range -700ER/900ER variants of the Boeing 737 family. A320: 168. Boeing 737-200 = 2.950 Kgs/h. The 727's fuselage was derived from the 707. [62][63], As of July 2008[update] the 737 has carbon brakes. [1][73] Many 737-200s are still used by airlines. SAS reports a mere 0.001 difference in fuel burn per seat per kilometer in litres in favor of Boeing in each case–despite the 738 having 18 more seats, in which case the difference could be expected to be much greater. It has an auxiliary fuel system, giving it a range of up to 4,725 nautical miles (8,751 km), and a Head-up display. 8 de março - A Agência Federal de Aviação (FAA) dos Estados Unidos certifica o 737 MAX 8. Història. [1], The 737-700 was added to the Next Generation planes when Southwest Airlines ordered one in November 1993. 7,283 aircraft have been delivered, and the 737 still has 2,759 orders that have not been delivered yet (as of August 2012[update]). The -400F was not delivered by Boeing. They were eliminated from the 737 cockpit design in 2004, although they are still installed on customer request. The MAX-7 will replace the 737-700, the MAX-8 will replace the 737-800 and the MAX-9 will replace the 737-900 and 739-900ER. [127] The next generation 737, 737 MAX, will feature an Advanced Technology (AT) Winglet that is produced by Boeing. [98] The 737 MAX 9 replaced the 737-900 and competed with Airbus A321neo, The MAX 10 was proposed as a stretched MAX 9 in mid-2016, enabling seating for 230 in a single class or 189 in two-class layout, compared to 193 in two-class seating for the A321neo. They are fitted at the end of the wing and help the engines to burn less fuel because they reduce drag. The wingspan was also made bigger. SAS reports a mere 0.001 difference in fuel burn per seat per kilometer in litres in favor of Boeing in each case–despite the 738 having 18 more seats, in which case the difference could be expected to be much greater.

It replaces the 737-400. [8] The engine nacelles were mounted directly to the underside of the wings, without pylons, allowing the landing gear to be shortened, thus lowering the fuselage to improve baggage and passenger access. This made the engine look a bit like a hamster pouch,[27][28] because the engine is not shaped like a circle. [135], This short-field design package is an option on the 737-600, -700 and -800 and is standard equipment for the new 737-900ER. El último en apostar por ellos ha sido Ryanair.

They weigh 550–700 lb (250–320 kg) less than the steel brakes normally fitted to the 737 Next Generation family. The original design was too small to require this, and adding a fuel dump system to the later, larger variants would have incurred a large weight penalty. The 737 Classic planes also had some improvements made to the wings. The aircraft were delivered between May 1982 and October 1983.[33]. [27][28], The original engine nacelles incorporated thrust reversers taken from the 727 outboard nacelles. Questi nuovi motori, certificati dalla FAA nel 1996 per una spinta di circa 12 mila chili (26.400 libbre), sono caratterizzati dal basso consumo di carburante e dai ridotti costi di manutenzione. [36] Until retiring its -200 fleet in 2007, Alaska Airlines used this option for some of its combi aircraft rural operations to serve many unimproved runways in Alaska. The Indonesian Air Force ordered three modified 737-200s, designated Boeing 737-2x9 Surveiller. [10] Many designs for the engine attachment strut were tested in the wind tunnel and the optimal shape for high speed was found to be one which was relatively thick, filling the narrow channels formed between the wing and the top of the nacelle, particularly on the outboard side. Boeing 737-300 = 3.000 kgs/h. Boeing va construir el 737 per cobrir la necessitat de tenir un producte que pogués competir al mercat del transport aeri de curt abast, el qual va ser obert pel BAC One-Eleven i el McDonnell Douglas DC-9.Boeing anava per darrere de la seva competència, ja que, quan la construcció del 737 es va iniciar el 1964, ambdós dels seus competidors ja tenien els seus certificats de vol.
