The 737 MAX family is known for its range advantage over competing models and the 737 MAX 10 is said to deliver five percent lower trip costs and five percent lower seat-mile costs than similar aircraft.
Unique features of the 737 MAX 10 include a fuselage stretch of 66 inches – compared to the 737 MAX 9 – and levered main landing gear. It will also be able to carry up to 230 passengers on board.
Other changes include a variable exit limit rating mid-exit door, a lighter flat aft pressure bulkhead, and a modified wing for low-speed drag reduction.
Like Boeing’s other 737 MAX models, the 737 MAX 10 incorporates the latest technology CFM International LEAP-1B engines, Advanced Technology winglets, Boeing Sky Interior, large flight deck displays, along with a number of other technical improvements.
Boeing says the MAX 10 will “deliver the highest efficiency, reliability and passenger comfort in the single-aisle market.”
The 737 MAX is the fastest-selling aircraft in Boeing history, accumulating more than 3,700 orders to date, and the MAX 10 is already adding to that figure. The aircraft already has more than 240 orders and commitments secured from more than 10 customers worldwide. The details of these deal are to be announced over the coming week, Boeing said in a press release.
“The 737 MAX 10 extends the competitive advantage of the 737 MAX family and we’re honored that so many customers across the world have embraced the outstanding value it will bring to their fleets,” said Boeing Commercial Airplanes President and CEO Kevin McAllister.
“Airlines wanted a larger, better option in the large single-aisle segment with the operating advantages of the 737 MAX family. Adding the 737 MAX 10 gives our customers the most flexibility in the market, providing their fleets the range capability, fuel efficiency and unsurpassed reliability that the 737 MAX family is widely known for.”
