The Boeing corporation developed the 737 in the mid-1960s to serve as a lower-cost twin-engined, short- range companion to the larger 727. and 707 models. Production of the original variant (designated 100). began in 1966, with capacity for 85. passengers, five-abreast seating, and powered by two Pratt & Whitney JT8D-15 low-bypass turbofan engines, situated beneath the wings. A slightly larger model 200 followed in 1967, with increased thrust to compensate for additional weight.

8 In 1984, Boeing introduced the first of three variants that would subsequently be designated Classics . These were the 300, 400. and 500 series . The new models were heavily revised, and featured winglets for increased lift and range, and CFM International CFM56-3C-1 high-bypass turbofan engines. Modifications to the landing gear to incorporate the larger engines was required. The Classics' were larger, quieter and more economical, and also featured EFIS CRT avionics, replacing conventional instrumentation. In 1998, Boeing again heavily revised the 737, with the 600, 700, 800 and 900 variants, designated NG' (Next Generation).

9 These aircraft featured FADEC controlled CFM56-7 high-bypass turbofan engines, larger and more efficient wings (without winglets in some cases), a strengthened fuselage, revised avionics, and a higher cruise speed. In 2016 (as a response to the Airbus A320 NEO), Boeing introduced the MAX' series designated MAX-7, MAX-8, MAX-9, MAX- 10, MAX-200. The MAX-8 was the first to enter service in 2017. The MAX variants offer four lengths, with options for 138 to 230. seats and a range of between 3,215 and 3,825 nautical miles.

10 These aircraft are equipped with split winglets and powered by the CFM International LEAP high-bypass turbofan engines. The Boeing 737 (all variants including military and cargo not discussed above) is the highest-selling commercial jetliner in history, with over 10,000 deliveries as of 2018. 5.
