High-quality metal model of the civil aircraft Boeing 737-900 of the airline company KLM in detailed design according to the real model. The package includes a stand, antenna and chassis. The model is packed in a paper box.
The Boeing 737 is an American narrow-body airliner manufactured by the Boeing Company at its Renton, Washington factory. Developed as a complement to the Boeing 727 on short, narrow routes, the Twinjet retained the 707's fuselage width and six abreast seats, but with two underwing Pratt & Whitney JT8D low-bypass turbocharged engines. Introduced in 1964, the original 737-100 made its first flight in April 1967 and entered service in February 1968 with Lufthansa. The elongated 737-200 entered service in April 1968 and evolved through four generations, offering several variants for 85 to 215 passengers.
Boeing studied short-haul jet designs and saw the need for a new aircraft to complement the 727 on short, thin routes. Preliminary design work began on May 11, 1964, based on research that indicated a market for 50 to 60 passenger airliners with routes of 50 to 1,000 miles (100 to 1,600 km).
