10 things about Boeing 737 max aircraft.
The Boeing 737 Max is the most recent model of aircraft produced by the Boeing company, and it boasts a number of advantages over earlier models
The Boeing 737 Max is the most recent model of aircraft produced by the Boeing company, and it boasts a number of 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
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.

Following the FAA’s Safety Summit last week, the agency issued a safety alert with specific steps it wants airlines, pilots and others to take.
The FAA is urging the following actions:
- Ensure pilots and flight attendants have the same understanding of what “sterile flight deck” means and the risks associated with extraneous communication during this time.
- Emphasize the importance of awareness of the aircraft in relation to taxiways, runways and other aircraft. This includes reviewing the following previously published SAFOs:
- Encourage personnel to identify and report existing and emerging safety issues through voluntary reporting programs and understand the usefulness of voluntary reporting systems for the operation in which you are engaged.
- Reinforce adherence to published processes and procedures, including checklists, Air Traffic Control instructions, and internal company procedures.
- Ensure Safety Management Systems are accounting for the high rate of change and churn in the industry.
