THe Boeing 737 NG Simulator
The Boeing 737 is the world's most popular short to medium range, single aisle, narrow body airliner. With over 7,000 ordered and over 5,000 delivered, it is the most ordered and produced commercial passenger jet of all time and has been continuously manufactured by Boeing since 1967. The 737 is now so widely used that at any given time, there are over 1,250 airborne worldwide.[2] On average, somewhere around the world, a 737 takes off or lands every five seconds.[2]
Prompted by the modern Airbus A320, Boeing initiated the 737 Next Generation (NG) program in 1993. The 737NG encompasses the -600, -700, -800 and -900, and is to date the most significant upgrade of the airframe. The performance of the 737NG is essentially that of a new airplane, but important commonality is retained from previous 737.
In 1993, Boeing launched a large scale overhaul of the 737 Classic series. By the early 1990s, it became clear that the new Airbus A320 was a serious threat to Boeing's market share, as Airbus won previously loyal 737 customers like Lufthansa. After engineering trade studies and discussions with major 737 customers, Boeing proceeded to launch the 737 Next Generation series.
Technology Features:
- Improved CFM56-7 turbofan engine, 7% more fuel efficient than the CFM56-3.
- New airfoil section, increased wing span, area, and chord.
- Increased fuel capacity and higher MTOW.
- Redesigned vertical stabilizer.
- Six-screen LCD glass cockpit with modern avionics, retaining crew commonality with previous generation 737.
- Passenger cabin improvements similar to those on the Boeing 777, featuring more curved surfaces and larger overhead bins than previous generation 737s. The Next Generation 737 interior was also adopted on the Boeing 757-300.
- Intercontinental range of over 3,000 nautical miles (5,556 km).[8]
