Introduction
The Boeing Next-Generation 737 Family

About the 737 Family

The newest members of the Boeing 737 family, the
737-600/700/800/900 models, continue the 737's pre-eminence as the
world's most popular and reliable commercial jet transport. The 737
family has won orders for more than 6,000 airplanes, which is more
airplanes than The Boeing Company's biggest competitor has won for
its entire product line since it began business.

The 737 - a short-to-medium-range airplane - is based on a key

Boeing philosophy of delivering added value to airlines with reliability,
simplicity and reduced operating and maintenance costs.

The Next-Generation 737 models build on the strengths that made the The Boeing 737-900ER is the newest member of the Next-

Operating Experience

The 737 models now in service have a high dispatch reliability.

The 737 flies a large number of short length flights. It can also
fly longer range flights. The airplane use rate is very high. The
use rates are shown this way:
• Average daily utilization 7.6 hr
• Average flight length 1.4 hr
• Schedule reliability 99.3%.

The 737-600/700/800/900 design improves on the

737-300/400/500 model design. These are the improvements:
• Larger payload
• Higher service ceiling
• More range
• Improved fault isolation
• Improved systems design
• Flight compartment common display system.

The range map above shows the longer range of the

737-600/700/800 /900 over the 737-300/400/500 aircraft.

The ranges are for aircraft in these conditions:

• Normal flights
• Full passenger payload
• 85% annual winds.

ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT COMPARTMENT

The electronic equipment compartment is below the main cabin floor,

aft of the nose wheel well. On the ground, you enter this
compartment through a door on the bottom of the fuselage. The door
is just aft of the nose landing gear.

There are five standard equipment racks. These are the E1, E2, E3,
E4, and E5 racks.

There is one optional equipment rack. The E8-1 rack is installed

above the E1 rack.

Shelf assemblies have equipment mounts, interconnect wiring, and

accessory boxes. Most equipment rack shelves are cooled with air.
Air is blown through or drawn through the equipment racks.

There is a drip shield over the racks to protect the equipment from
moisture.
