New Boeing 737 MAX Launched

Boeing today (August 30, 2011), unveiled its answer to the best-selling Airbus A320 NEO, a new engine variant called Boeing 737 MAX. The new family of aircraft consists of the 737 MAX 7, 737 MAX 8 and 737 MAX 9.

The new 737 family will be powered by CFM International LEAP-1B engines optimized for the 737.
Like the A320neo, that will be powered by CFM International LEAP-X or Pratt & Whitney PW1100G PurePower engines, the 737 MAX will deliver big fuel savings that airlines will need to successfully compete in the future. According to Boeing, airlines will benefit from a 7 percent advantage in operating costs over the A320neo and lower maintenance requirements.

The 737 MAX will also feature the 737 Boeing Sky Interior. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in 2017.
