The Boeing 737 Max is the most recent model of aircraft produced by the Boeing company, and it boasts several advantages over earlier models. We shall learn what features have been introduced to this aircraft in this article.

No 1. Establishment of Boeing 737 max

10 things about Boeing 737 max aircraft.

The Boeing 737 Max is an enhanced version of the 737. Boeing is the manufacturer of this airliner’s narrow body. In the market, it faces up against the Airbus A320 family. On January 29, 2016, the Boeing 737 Max made its inaugural flight. the Federal Aviation Administration certified it

No2. Flight deck and  Twin-Engine Airliner

The flight deck can house the pilot and a co-pilot and is equipped with a common display system supplied by Honeywell Air Transport Systems. The CDS consists of six flat-panel liquid crystal displays, and new line of aircraft is designed to provide consumers in the single-aisle category better fuel efficiency. To reduce weight, the flying controls use fly-by-wire spoilers rather than a mechanical system. To increase cabin pressurization, the aircraft has electronic bleed air systems and anti-icing equipment. The 737 MAX’s interior is outfitted with the popular Boeing Sky Interior.

A sustainable source of power  LEAP-1B engine provides Boeing 737 MAX operators with improved performance in terms of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions (15 percent ), NOx emissions, and noise emissions (up to 50 percent). The list price for the engine purchase is US$348 million , and deliveries are expected to start in 2022. The LEAP-1B-powered Boeing 737 MAX aircraft is a key element.

No 4. Feature about 737 max

The 737 MAX is Boeing’s most modern 737 to date in terms of technology. New, fuel-efficient engines and advanced flight deck layout are features of the 737 MAX. It has much more efficient LEAP-1B engines that offer higher fuel economy. A more tapered aerodynamic tail cone. This is part of the design advancement to achieve up to a 1% improvement in fuel economy. Boeing 787-style engine nacelles with a scalloped casing that allows for cleaner airflow and less drag.

No 5. 737 MAX Winglet has Natural Laminar Flow

Natural Laminar Flow is present on the 737 MAX at Winglet. Boeing solves this with the “Natural Laminar Flow” properties of the 737 MAX AT Winglet by using detailed design, surface materials, and coatings that enable laminar – or smoother – airflow over the winglet. This reduces drag and improves fuel efficiency.

No 6.The 737 Max have a new wing

Boeing has the very latest in advanced winglet technology, the 737 MAX AT Winglet. In addition to the inward, upward and slightly forward lift components of the upper aerofoil, the new lower aerofoil generates a vertical lift component that is vectored away from the fuselage, and also slightly forward. Working together, these provide the perfectly balanced winglet that maximizes the overall efficiency of the wing. Believing there was even more efficiency to be gained on top of the benefits from this ingenious solution.

No 7. Boeing uses iPads to train 737 max pilots

Boeing used iPads to deliver two-hour lessons about the airplane. It also gave pilots a 13-page handbook explaining the differences between the 737 MAX and earlier 737 models. Pilots are often trained on new airplanes with simulators. some pilots could fly the aircraft because its workings were similar to the regular Boeing 737 series. Boeing insisted that simulator training was unnecessary even after American Airlines and Southwest Airline pilots complained of the airplane’s unusual flight pattern.

No 8. Fuel economy in B737 max
The fuel economy of an aircraft is a measure of its transport energy efficiency. Improved aerodynamics and weight reduction, as well as improved engine BSFC and propulsive efficiency, all contribute to increased efficiency. From 1968 to 2014, the average fuel burn of new aircraft fell by 45 percent, a compounded annual reduction of 1.3 percent with a variable reduction rate. In 2018, CO2 emissions from passenger transportation totaled 747 million tonnes for 8.5 trillion revenue passenger kilometers, yielding an average of 88 gramme CO2 per RPK. this aircraft consumes lowest fuel burn and increase the efficiency  A CO2/km of 88 represents 28 g of fuel per km, or a fuel consumption of 3.5 L/100 km (67 mpg US).
No 9. Boeing 737  max current service
There are currently 581 active Boeing 737 MAXs. The -8 variant represents roughly three-quarters of all active Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. The remaining quarter is split roughly 10/15 between the 737 8-200 (which is currently only flown by Ryanair Group) and 88 MAX 9s. The mid-sized -8 variant far outnumbers the larger -9 and higher capacity with 428 examples across 34 airlines.  furthermore, the MAX 7 nor the MAX 10 are not currently in use because both variants are still undergoing certification.
No 10. Specifications of B737 max
It has a lower empty weight and higher maximum takeoff weight than the A320neo. During a test flight conducted for Aviation Week, while cruising at a true airspeed of 449 knots (832 km/h) and a weight of 140,500 pounds (63,700 kg), at a lower than optimal altitude with an unusually far forward center of gravity, the test aircraft consumed 4,460 lb (2,020 kg) of fuel per hour.
