Wonder if tariffs on steel and aluminum will slow that run down ? ? !
Boeing 737 is a really old plane: Originally envisioned in 1964, the initial 737-100 made its first flight in April 1967 and entered service in February 1968.
A response to the DC-9
And may I add, it was a VERY good response...The 737 series is a world class aircraft that has a great history across the world.
The 737-100/200 is really old. The 300-500 are kinda old. The 600-900 are pretty recent and the MAX is new technology. While the 737 was envisioned in the 60's, the new ones are nothing like the originals except in name and general looks. Not a good comparison.
There is one measurement that is common to all versions. The cabin width is 139 inches, making for narrow seats in economy class.
I know that's right! Have you ever flown on American's 737's? I'm skinny and I still manage to feel like a sardine!
Very True, but in the 60's and 70's no one complained about it and was respectful... One big difference is that so many people are wider and think they have seat rights into other peoples seats.
Very true about the respect. There are some examples of the lack of it right on this page.
Gee, that was quick, the troll with the disrespectful comments is gone. Looks like my comment has lost its sense.
Anyway Sparkie, at the time there was a decent seat pitch, that compensated to a certain degree for the lack of seat width. Also, there was nothing better available, that’s different now.
