The Boeing 737 is a twin-jet narrow-body transport aircraft for short and medium distances. It was originally developed as a smaller twin-engine aircraft with lower operating costs derived from the Boeing 707 and Boeing 727. Eventually, the Boeing 737 aircraft evolved into a family of 10 models for passenger transport with a capacity of 85 to 220 passengers. The 737 model is the only narrow-body airliner from Boeing, which is currently produced by the company in the variants -600, -700, -800, -900 and 737 MAX 7, 8, 9. The modernized version with new Boeing 737 MAX engines came to the market of air transport in 2017.
Originally introduced in 1964, the first version of the Boeing 737-100 took off in 1967 and entered service as a commercial jet in February 1968. Another extended version, the 737-200, entered service in April 1968. In the 1980s, Boeing began producing the -300, -400 and -500 versions, which were later referred to as the Boeing 737 Classic series. The 737 Classic series model was increased in capacity and equipped with CFM56 jet engines along with improved wings. In the 90s, the company introduced the 737 Next Generation model with various changes such as rebuilt wings, a renewed cockpit and a new interior. The 737 New Generation models are included in the -600, -700, -800, and -900ER versions with different lengths from 31m to 42m. Business versions of the 737 Next Generation, designated BBJ, are also produced.
The 737 series is the best-selling jet airliner in aviation history. The 737 has been in continuous production by Boeing since 1967, with a total of 8,920 aircraft delivered and 4,378 production orders as of February 2016. Production of the 737 is centered at Boeing's Renton Factory in Renton, Washington. Many 737s have replaced the previously operated 707, 727, 757, DC-9, and MD-80/MD-90 aircraft, and currently the Airbus A320 family represents the aircraft's biggest competitor. On average, there are 1,250 Boeing 737s flying at any given time, and 2 aircraft of this type land or take off every 5 seconds.
