The Boeing 737 has been one of the most successful aircraft of all time. As of mid-2020, it remains the most delivered aircraft to date but has been overtaken by the Airbus A320 for orders. First flying in 1967, it has evolved through several variants, each time improving and updating its offering.

Let’s take a look at the history of this long-serving aircraft and examine what kind of future it might have.

I think the 737 is a great plane up to the Next Generation 900ER. I don't think they should have built the Max and instead focused on the NMA. Also, I think Boeing should move back to Seattle so the there can be greater personal interaction between management and the engineers. I hope Boeing can soon get all the problems solved with the Max and get it flying. Many pilots have commented that it will be a great plane.

2:23 Simple Flying: the same building as the b-17 Flying Fortress. Shows Avro Lancaster instead

I hope you keep making good "actual content" like this. It's so rare these days to see an aviation channel with this level of quality. Even those channels with much higher sub count can't compare with the quality of this channel. I'm sharing this with my fellow avgeeks👍

Very well put together video. One of the main upgrades between the 737-200 and the classic series was avionics as well , with most having 2 X CDU's with one FMC and EFIS(Digital) displays. There were however a few 737-300's which were built with the older instrument displays inherited from the 737-200's. This from what I understand was done for one customer in the US to keep fleet comonality between the 200 and newer 300 series for its pilots.

I'm writing a paper about the 737 and this video is a life saver. Thank you Long Haul!!

The exit limit foor the regular 900 is 189, same as the 800. In fact, the 900er is so different from the 900 that it is a different 5th model
@saismithanaik7885 3 years ago

please do a similiar video for airbus a320 family
@tendaimudarikwa3942 2 years ago

737 will always remain my favorite aircraft no matter what.
@BrownsburgKevin 3 years ago

It was never a replacement for the 727. That was the 757.
@AirShark95 3 years ago

There's also the Military variants of the 737, like the C-40 Clipper (Military VIP transport for the USAF), the E-7A Wedgetail AEW&C in use with many nations, and the P-8 Poseidon Anti-Submarine/Maritime Patrol Aircraft

It’s amazing how the b17 looks like an avro Lancaster 2:23
