Long routes include 24 over 2,500 nmi (4,630 km), including a daily Aerolineas Argentinas service from Buenos Aires to Punta Cana over 3,252 nmi (6,023 km). [178] Boeing also considered a parallel development along with the 757 replacement, similar to the development of the 757 and 767 in the 1970s. A lot of people worked very hard on this plane, though obviously it’s kind of sad to have a launch happen like this…. The MAX 9 features Boeing's Advanced Technology winglets and fuel efficient engines providing a quieter ride and the ability to fly farther on less fuel. She will be N27519 once delivered to United very soon. Yeah a clean sheets design wasn’t possible. As Boeing trots out the new 73 variant, news today Boeing has settled nearly half of all claims resulting from the Lion Air crash. ", "Breaking News: Basarnas Pastikan Pesawat Lion Air JT 610 Jatuh", "Pilot Who Hitched a Ride Saved Lion Air 737 Day Before Deadly Crash", "Aircraft Accident Investigation Report. Boeing claims that the plane has the lowest seat-mile cost of any single-aisle airplane ever produced. In 2006, Boeing started considering the replacement of the 737 with a "clean-sheet" design that could follow the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. CHICAGO, Feb. 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- United Airlines today announced it has added its newest aircraft type, the Boeing 737 MAX 9, to its domestic flight schedules. Too many in the public just do not understand the concept of “unknown unknowns” and therefore make emotional (but nonsensical) proclamations about the safety of the upcoming re-certified 737-MAX …. [24] Studies for additional drag reduction were performed during 2011, including revised tail cone, natural laminar flow nacelle, and hybrid laminar flow vertical stabilizer. This site is for entertainment purposes only. If you want that, then you will never be flying, since no aircraft is completely foolproof. The 13,300-foot altitude at El Alto International Airport tested the MAX's capability to take off and land at high altitudes. [201] On April 4, Ethiopian transport minister Dagmawit Moges stated that the crew "performed all the procedures repeatedly provided by the manufacturer but was not able to control the aircraft". So one could argue which design is more outdated. Photo: United Airlines. @The nice Paul — “If you can’t even see the ludicrous contradictions at the heart of your position, maybe you’re not as rational as you’d like to think?” —. No doubt this one is unstable as well. On December 3, 2020, American Airlines made a demonstration flight for journalists to explain the FAA-required modifications, to regain public trust. I guess that, unless one has worked in the Control Systems arena, this idea of using software within feedback loops in complex systems seems a bit perplexing … but this is done quite often in hardware engineering and is not considered to be any sort of “flaw”! Do you offer anything significant to offer to counter my contents? [38] Other improvements include a re-contoured tail cone, revised auxiliary power unit inlet and exhaust, aft-body vortex generators removal and other small aerodynamic improvements. Engines look to big for the wings. They should have immediately begun development on a true replacement for the entire 757/767 program. Just from an operational standpoint, while there have been several anomalous behavior with MCAS over its almost two years of revenue operations before the two crashes, all previous incidents were able to successfully recover, presumably because those co-pilots were able to properly assist in their recovery efforts (among many other reasons)! Such efforts have been done successfully in the past (eg, by Airbus), so it wasn’t considered “rocket science”. Please use Your energy and money to build decent aircraft instaed of acting hghly manipulatively like pure evil! You think that we’re all Boeing “trolls” and the 737-MAX has an “unfixable” hardware design? they should destroy all MAX’s, scrap the MAX plans, refund all airlines, and start from scratch on a safe, new plane. You totally mis-understand! Spirit supplies 69% of the 737 airframe, including the fuselage, thrust reverser, engine pylons, nacelles, and wing leading edges. @Alan — “Good Grief! United Airlines added the Boeing 737 MAX 9 to their fleet in 2018. The airplane was to have a similar fuselage but made from composite materials developed for the Dreamliner. [22] As this sale included a Most-Favoured-Customer Clause, Airbus has to refund any difference to American if it sells to another airline at a lower price, so the European manufacturer cannot give a competitive price to competitor United Airlines, leaving it to a Boeing-skewed fleet. Cumulative Boeing 737 MAX orders and deliveries, The global fleet of nearly 400 737 MAXs flew 500,000 flights from March 2017 to March 2019, and experienced two fatal accidents for an accident rate of four accidents per million flights when it was grounded. The first aircraft was delivered from the facility to Air China on December 15, 2018. @ron — “… since hardware can MOSTLY function after……..’ You mean the plane will mostly make it safe to its destination but once in a while drop from the sky? Boeing faces legal and financial consequences, as no deliveries of the MAX could be made while the aircraft was grounded, and airlines cancelled more orders than Boeing produced during this period; a portion of those aircraft have lost their original buyers. The FAA grounding order was lifted on November 18, 2020;[71] all aircraft must be repaired to comply with various airworthiness directives. Production of the LEAP-1B engine continued at an unchanged rate, enabling CFM to catch up its backlog within a few weeks. Hey Boeing, we recognize Your Goebbels-like propaganda efforts, constantly drawing all the attention to that Software hoping for everyone to forget abour the miserable and unfixable hardware-design. [148], On December 3, 2020, Ryanair ordered 75 MAX 8-200s, increasing its order book to 210 aircraft, the first large order since the grounding, for a list value of $7bn while the true value is estimated at $3bn or less. [203], Aircraft of comparable role, configuration, and era. [136], In September 2014, Boeing launched a high-density version of the 737 MAX 8, the 737 MAX 200, named for seating for up to 200 passengers in a single-class high-density configuration with slimline seats; an extra pair of exit doors is required because of the higher passenger capacity. Just relax. [120], In February 2018, Boeing forecast that 60–65% of demand for the airliner would be for the 737 MAX 8 variant, 20–25% for the MAX 9 and MAX 10, and 10% for the MAX 7. [171], On November 22, 2019, Boeing unveiled the first MAX 10 to employees in its Renton factory, Washington, scheduled for the first flight in 2020. United has a maintenance facility… A commercial airliner successfully completed a flight from Miami to New York City today, taking off at 10:30 a.m. EST and landing at LaGuardia at 1:10 p.m. One my key questions is how many MCAS failures have occured but have not resulted in serious crash risks? The timeline of the MAX return will determine a number of other fleet decisions at U.S. airlines. [174], The BBJ MAX 8 and BBJ MAX 9 are proposed business jet variants of the Boeing 737 MAX 8 and 9 with new CFM LEAP-1B engines and advanced winglets providing 13% better fuel burn than the Boeing Business Jet; the BBJ MAX 8 will have a 6,325 nmi (11,710 km) range and the BBJ MAX 9 a 6,255 nmi (11,580 km) range. Better and more fuel-efficient engines can significantly push the range of the aircraft like the 737. Why any airline would want to buy their planes, or why anyone would want to fly Boeing planes, is inexplicable at this point. A United 737-10 with a lie-flat premium product would have fewer seats than its standard configuration on the aircraft, says Kirby. In a statement from the Chicago-based carrier issued yesterday, United said that it plans to have the 737 MAX resume flights in February 2021. [177], In November 2014, Boeing talked about developing a clean sheet aircraft to replace the 737. It took its maiden flight on January 29, 2016 and was certified by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in March 2017. The 737 MAX is a fourth-generation Boeing 737, re-engined with CFM LEAP-1B turbofans. ———————————————————————————————————————– [37], A new spar-assembly line with robotic drilling machines should increase throughput by 33%. [93], On October 28, 2020, Boeing indicated that it expected to deliver about half of the 450 stockpiled aircraft in 2021, and the majority of the remainder in 2022, noting that some of these aircraft will need to be re-marketed and potentially reconfigured. Lucky must have realized that the Boeing topic works well for the clicks. [30] Aviation Partners offers a similar "Split-Tip Scimitar" winglet for previous 737NGs. Please view our advertising policy page for additional details about our partners. [54] Boeing suspended 737 MAX flights on May 4,[55] and resumed flights on May 12. Boeing was reported to internally expect production to be halted for at least 60 days. [161] Air Lease Corporation wants it a year sooner; its CEO John Pleuger stated "It would have been better to get the first airplane in March 2019, but I don't think that's possible".

Wow. You do the best with what you have at the time. Boeing Commercial Airplanes CEO Jim Albaugh said in 2011, that adding more fly-by-wire control systems would be "very minimal". @HereWeGo — “Hey Boeing, we recognize Your Goebbels-like propaganda efforts, constantly drawing all the attention to that Software hoping for everyone to forget abour the miserable and unfixable hardware-design.” —. What are you talking about? [16], On December 1, 2010, Boeing's competitor, Airbus, launched the Airbus A320neo family to improve fuel burn and operating efficiency with new engines: the CFM International LEAP and Pratt & Whitney PW1000G. The 737 MAX 10 flies 200 nmi longer range than the current 737, meaning that you can explore more distant destinations with more of your friends and family. Working for Boeing? Alaska Airlines If today we stuck a 737-100 fuselage with the new engines it is likely it … Aircraft are still safer than any other form of travel, even without 100% safety. [156] In early 2017, Boeing showed a 66 in (1.7 m) stretch to 143 feet (44 m), enabling seating for 230 in a single class or 189 in two-class capacity, compared to 193 in two-class seating for the A321neo. I am a big aviation fan and would love to ensure this Max issues is adequately resolved. Am I the only who is embarrassed on your behalf? [75] The same people… Get real. @HereWeGo — “Got You! @Owen — “So yall instead target their geopolitics of the not being part of the 1st-world being Southeast Asia and Africa?” —, Who ever said that Boeing did not share any blame? ———————————————————————————————————————— [202], The subsequent findings in the Ethiopian Airlines crash and the Lion Air crash led to the Boeing 737 MAX groundings across the world. [58], The first delivery was a MAX 8, handed over to Malindo Air (a subsidiary of Lion Air) on May 16, 2017; it entered service on May 22. [157] In September 2016, it was reported that the variant would be simpler and lower-risk with a modest stretch of 6–7 ft (1.83–2.13 m) for a length of 143–144 ft (43.6–43.9 m), seating 12–18 more passengers for 192–198 in a dual-class layout or 226-232 for a single class, needing an uprated 31,000 lbf (140 kN) CFM LEAP-1B that could be available by 2019, or 2020, and would likely require a landing-gear modification to move the rotation point slightly aft. The modest stretch of the MAX 10 enables the aircraft to retain the existing wing and CFM Leap 1B engine from the MAX 9 with a trailing-link main landing gear as the only major change. @Pogonation — “I find your comments interesting. Tell me how much money we can save in this world, so if something wrong happens because of the effort of that money saving, we can use that money to bring back a deceased back to life? 387 delivered to customers as of March 2019, Airframe only: $1–1.8 billion; including engine development: $2–3B, 28–29 in (71–74 cm) in high density, 29–30 in (74–76 cm) in economy, 36 in (91 cm) in business, 117 ft 10 in / 35.92 m span, 1,370 sq ft (127 m, 6,820 USgal / 25,816 L – 45,694 lb / 20,730 kg (no, *Overlapping production times like between the 747-400 and the 747-8 have been decided in favor of newer models, This page was last edited on 10 January 2021, at 17:52. Perhaps even a narrow body equivalent to the 787 with pilot commonality. @BillC The fan was widened from 61 in (150 cm) to 69.4 in (176 cm) by raising the nose gear and placing the engine higher and forward. Airline training programs will also require approval. The first in the United States was American Airlines on December 29. [56], During the certification process, the FAA delegated many evaluations to Boeing, allowing the manufacturer to review their own product. [68] Moody's also warned the production halt would have wide and harmful impact to the whole aerospace and defense supply chain and, if and when production resumes, the ramp up would be slower than previously anticipated, as suppliers have to make adjustments to cost structures built for planned record output on the 737 program. These guys have milked their 60 yr. old designed cows too far IMHO. The fact that Boeing messed up with its software implementation of the MCAS system (shame of them!) A United Airlines 737 MAX 9 lands at San Francisco International Airport. [102] Boeing plans no major modifications for the 737 MAX flight deck, as it wants to maintain commonality with the 737 Next Generation family. The Electroimpact automated panel assembly line sped up the wing lower-skin assembly by 35%. [103] Most of the systems are carried from the 737NG for a short differences-training course to upgrade flight crews. [30] To preserve fuel and payload capacity, its maximum takeoff weight is 7,000 lb (3,200 kg) heavier. Driven by the existing retraction system, a shrink-link mechanical linkage mechanism at the top of the leg, inspired by carrier aircraft designs, allows the gear to be drawn in and shortened while being retracted into the existing wheel well. Walk the dog. Uv mapped. [175] The BBJ MAX 7 was unveiled in October 2016, with a 7,000 nmi (12,960 km) range and 10% lower operating costs than the original BBJ while being larger. [49][57] It was widely reported that Boeing pushed to expedite approval of the 737 MAX to compete with the Airbus A320neo, which hit the market nine months ahead of Boeing's model. Like Ben says, this is truly sad to see those hard working folks out like that and despite how hard they work, that will not fix the design problem. [134] The MAX 8 has a lower empty weight and higher maximum takeoff weight than the A320neo.
