Boeing proyecta la entrada de servicio del Boeing 737-10 MAX para el año 2020

Boeing targets entry into service in 2020 for the 737 MAX 10
Boeing projects service entry for Boeing 737-10 MAX by 2020
«With regard to the Boeing 737 MAX 10, we are in the process of finalizing the schedule and we are aiming for a potential commercial entry for 2020″, said Keith Leverkuhn, Boeing 737 MAX program manager during a conference call with the press. A calendar that assumes that «the final configuration of the plane will be frozen next year», he added.
The Boeing 737 MAX 10 should have a capacity of «189 passengers divided into two classes and up to 230 in single class». Its maximum distance would be 3 100 nm or 5 700 km. The Boeing 737 MAX 9 has a capacity of 178 passengers in a two-class configuration and up to 220/230 passengers in a single class with a maximum range of 3,500 nm with the addition of an additional tank.

Boeing plans to extend the fuselage of the 737 MAX 9 by 1.68 m to take ten to twelve additional passengers. This implies further reinforcement of the aerostructures wherever necessary and a lot of engineering work on the front landing gear. The 737 MAX 10 thus displays a capacity similar to that of the Airbus A321NEO which takes 185 passengers divided into two classes and up to 236 in single class.

On the other hand, the maxi-reachable distance remains higher: 3,700 nm or 6,850 km. Kevin Leverkuhn stresses: «It all depends on whether you take extra tanks into account or not.» «Without the additional tank, the 737 MAX 9 is 3,300 nm (6,100 km), but the competitor’s capacity in the same capacity is only 4,900 km auxiliary tanks «.
