Aug 23 (Reuters) - Boeing (BA. N) has recently identified a new 737 MAX quality problem involving supplier Spirit AeroSystems (SPR. N) that has resulted in improperly drilled holes on the aft pressure bulkhead, the planemaker said on Wednesday.
The single-aisle market benefits from the Boeing 737 MAX's increased efficiency, improved environmental performance, and increased passenger comfort. The type delivers outstanding economics, decreasing fuel use and pollutants by 20% while producing a 50% smaller noise footprint than the aircraft it replaces.
While the average passenger might not notice many major differences between the two, the MAX is a major improvement over the 737-800 especially in terms of overall efficiency and range, and passengers can expect to continue seeing more MAX aircraft over the coming years as Boeing continues to fill its backlog of orders ...
According to experts, the model (737-800) is considered to be the safest aircraft ever made. The 737-800 belongs to the aviation giant's next-generation aircraft which also includes 600, 700, and 900.
WASHINGTON, April 10 (Reuters) - Boeing Co (BA.N) intends to restore production of its bestselling 737 MAX jet to its 2019 rate of 52 a month by January 2025 as it seeks to fully recover from two deadly crashes and the COVID-19 pandemic that curtailed output, two people familiar with the matter said.
There is sufficient evidence to support a reasonable inference that these passengers experienced pre-impact fright and terror, and that experience is part of the 'process or manner of death,' U.S. District Judge Jorge Alonso in Illinois wrote in his ruling, rejecting Boeing's motion.
There are some subtler hints as well, like the fact the tail cone on the MAX is longer than the last 737s and the wider engines onboard. The winglets are another giveaway, but it can be hard to differentiate, given 737NGs can also come with them.
In late 2020, the Federal Aviation Administration allowed two midsize versions of the plane — the Max 8 and Max 9 — to fly again once certain fixes were made. Delta's order is for the Max 10, the biggest variant of the plane.
