The 737 MAX is a fourth-generation Boeing 737, re-engined with CFM LEAP-1B turbofans. [159] Boeing 737 MAX Vice President and General Manager Keith Leverkuhn said the design had to be frozen in 2018, for a 2020 introduction. In retrospect, Boeing’s issues with the 737 started years before the MAX was announced. All I need to do is highlight certain words and put others in bold and that makes me an expert? [142] It was first flown from Renton on January 13, 2019,[143] and was due to enter service in April 2019, with another four MAX 200s expected later in 2019,[144] though these deliveries were deferred while the MAX is grounded; Ryanair has stated that it intends to place more orders once flights resume. [83] In early January 2020, an issue was discovered in the software update, further delaying the return to service. Anything other than aeroplanes! Boeing estimated it would cost an additional $6.3 billion to produce the remaining 737 MAX program, $4 billion for "future abnormal costs" as production restarted, plus an estimated $8.3 billion for concessions and compensation to customers. Boeing claims that the plane has the lowest seat-mile cost of any single-aisle airplane ever produced. Perhaps even a narrow body equivalent to the 787 with pilot commonality. I didn’t mention ANY names and You jumped right in and freaked out! It is based on earlier 737 designs, with more efficient CFM International LEAP-1B engines, aerodynamic changes including its distinctive split-tip winglets, and airframe modifications. While we do try to list all the best miles and points deals, the site does not include all card companies or credit card offers available in the marketplace. @Alan — “Good Grief! [113] The new nacelles being larger and more forward possess aerodynamic properties which act to further increase the pitch rate. @EBWaa — “What does your habitually hysterical writing style and extravagant punctuation have to do with so-called ‘Political Correctness’, …” —, In my decades of high tech experiences in broad capacities, I’ve not had to deal with so much emotionally driven attitudes as when on online public forums … high tech engineers tend to pretty much always be rational about their thoughts, whereas the vast majority of the public-at-large just can’t help themselves. @ROBERT J MACKAY — “Boeing is garbage. [70] The FAA curtailed Boeing's delegated authority, and invited global aviation stakeholders to comment on pending changes to the aircraft and to pilot training. Wow. [203], Aircraft of comparable role, configuration, and era. “… use of … exclamations, and I’ve already agreed to try and moderate that, based on comments from others!”. Everyone keeps talking about the NMA and it’s been 14 years since the last 757 was delivered. “The 737 MAX 10 will enable us to continue using larger and more efficient aircraft within our domestic network and better meet the needs of our customers,” United Chief Financial Officer Andrew Levy said. The aircraft had been delivered to Lion Air two months earlier. [54] Boeing suspended 737 MAX flights on May 4,[55] and resumed flights on May 12. The timeline of the MAX return will determine a number of other fleet decisions at U.S. airlines. Register here to save your space.

United Airlines added the Boeing 737 MAX 9 to their fleet in 2018. [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. [2] In the following eighteen months, Boeing redesigned the computer architecture that supported MCAS, while investigations faulted aircraft design and certification lapses. Even the 787-10 barely had a media event for its rollout. [125] Boeing plans to improve its range from 3,850 nmi (4,430 mi; 7,130 km) to 3,915 nmi (4,505 mi; 7,251 km) after 2021.

During Boeing's Q2 2011 earnings call, former CFO James Bell said the development cost for the airframe only would be 10–15% of the cost of a new program estimated at US$10–12 billion at the time. [178] Boeing also considered a parallel development along with the 757 replacement, similar to the development of the 757 and 767 in the 1970s. @BillC: Lemme see if I get this correct: [199] The cause of the crash was initially unclear, though the aircraft's vertical speed after takeoff was reported to be unstable. 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 …. …” —, 1000 thumbs up to you for being 100% correct about this observation! Currently, United Airlines operates 22 Boeing 737 MAX 9, with 63 more Boeing 737 MAX 9 and 100 Boeing 737 MAX 10 on order. In its initial production version of MCAS, Boeing screwed up the Implementation of a long validated and practiced Concept of using software within the aircraft system’s control feedback loop … Boeing also neglected to use the full hardware potentials present in the product (eg, relying on just one AOA sensor at a time when two were available, etc) … these are all well-known issues and are being “fixed” in order for re-certification to take place …, Additionally, Boeing did make a bad presumption about requiring MCAS to be exposed to pilots, since it was trying to forego requirements to re-qualify pilots for the MAX beyond the NG series. [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.

The 737 MAX 8 entered service in May 2017,[2] and the MAX 9 entered service in March 2018. [30] The 41:1 overall pressure ratio, increased from 28:1, and advanced hot-section materials enabling higher operating temperatures permit a 15% reduction in thrust specific fuel consumption (TSFC) along with 20% lower carbon emissions, 50% lower nitrogen-oxide emissions, though each engine weighs 849 lb (385 kg) more at 6,129 lb (2,780 kg). The first customer delivery of the 737-MAX was on May 22, 2017. IHMO the reason there isn’t a 737 replacement is simple engine technology isn’t there yet. This was the first fatal aviation accident and first hull loss of a 737 MAX. In early 2017, a new -8 was valued at $52.85 million, rising to below $54.5 million by mid 2018. Boeing has formally launched the 737 MAX 10, which is the largest and shortest range variant of the 737 MAX 10. [55], After one year of service, 130 MAXs had been delivered to 28 customers, logging over 41,000 flights in 118,000 hours and flying over 6.5 million passengers. On May 25th, 1979, 257 passengers and 13 crew boarded a DC-10, tail number N110AA, bound for Los Angeles from Chicago. [172] [91] Transport Canada and EASA each concluded their own independent recertification flights in late August and early September 2020. 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. And the rest we ALL know meanwhile: center of gravity is not where it should be and engines reaching hgher than the top of the wing ruin aerodynamics, which was tried to be covered up by electronics and is now that everyone knows officially tried to be ‘compensated’ by the same (modified) electronics – in simple terms. After all, it’s stretched and pulled as far as one could possibly do to a 55 year old design. As for your continuing criticism of my using exclamation points, I’ve now decided that you can use those the way that YOU want to, and I’m going to just use them the way that I want to! @loungeabuser — “I WAS JOKING WITH YOU.” —. Think the swing wing 300 seater supersonic, that trunced the Concorde worldwide It’s about the people who design, build and support it. [26] Boeing expected the 737 MAX to meet or exceed the range of the Airbus A320neo. 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. The last pre-suspension fuselages entered final assembly in early January 2020. United Airlines has resumed taking deliveries Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. I’m just ordinary people who knows because something unusual in design leads to the need of MCAS, that in the end took 346 lives. I guess the 747, 757, 767, 777, and 787 are all “crap” to you? Note that the first member of the A320 family—the A320—was launched in March 1984. [21] The order broke Boeing's monopoly with the airline and forced Boeing into a re-engined 737.

I”ve never claimed to be “perfect,” or an “expert,” but what I know comes from 40+ years in the high tech engineering industry and through some eight successful startups (including IPOs and M&As) … I’ve done trench-level engineering designs of very complex systems as well as high level management (including CEO) of startups that have transformed the lives of literally Billions on Earth … so do you think that I just “might” have some grounding to make the comments that I did about this topic? [96] One Mile at a Time is owned by PointsPros, Inc. This high margin was made possible by the efficiencies of production volume and the amortization of development costs and capital investment over the decades of the program run. 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)!
