Boeing 737 MAX - What is the most special thing in the world?

The new Boeing 737 MAX aircraft can greatly reduce costs for airlines.

Recently on January 29, 2016, the world's largest aircraft manufacturer - Boeing - has successfully launched the first flight of the Boeing 737 MAX - the latest version of the Boeing 737.

What is the point of this plane? How is it different from other types of aircraft, or specifically the current Boeing 737?

Boeing 737 MAX - a revamped version of the Boeing 737

According to Boeing, the 737 MAX is an improved version of the Boeing 737 - one of the most popular short-to-mid-range aircraft in the world.

The 737 was born in the 1967s, stemming from competing with competitors in the short-range jet market at that time. To date, the 737 has become the most ordered aircraft in the world. On average, one of these vehicles is taking off or landing every 5 seconds.

The 737 MAX is the fourth generation of this aircraft.

The 737 MAX is the fourth generation of this aircraft. Basically, this is still a regular 737, with a narrow body design, a walkway. However, some improvements on the wings and engines have helped the 737 MAX become the most fuel efficient aircraft.

First, the wing is designed with a split-tip winglet , which allows the aircraft to reduce drag and also increase lift when taking off - ie aerodynamic optimization. The weight did not increase significantly, so according to Beoing announced, the new wings make the 737 MAX up to 1.8% more fuel efficient than the old wing design.

The wing tip of the airplane will create a swirling air flow (wingtip vortices), which increases the resistance and fuel consumption.Leaving the wing tip upwards reduces this drag.

And if you add a small wing below, the vortex will add lift.

Next is the engine. The 737 MAX uses the latest CFM Leap-1B engine, with blades up to 1.76m in diameter, which is significantly increased compared to the engines used in earlier 737 aircraft (about 1, 57m).

Previously, Boeing experts had to consider this. Increasing the propeller diameter can reduce fuel consumption, but make the aircraft heavier and with more traction when taking off. However, when combined with a lighter weight designed CFM Leap-1B engine, this phenomenon has been eliminated.

And what is the gift? Along with the wings, the 737 MAX has a fuel savings of up to 8%, while allowing aircraft to travel more than 2,800km, almost 1,000km more than the 737 old lives.

New design brings "dual benefit"

The new aircraft could fly farther, consume less fuel, and carry more passengers. This means that the profits of the airlines will increase, and the adjustment of airline ticket prices will be very beneficial for consumers.

The opportunity to fly cheap has arrived .

Moreover, the consumption of less fuel also reduces the amount of greenhouse gases seen and the noise level of the new engine also decreases by 40% compared to the old one. With all of the above, we can see clearly, the 737 MAX is much more environmentally friendly.
