Boeing has officially introduced their newest beast. The company announced that they have created their newest version of their 737 MAX. The Boeing 737 MAX has been said by the company to be way more fuel efficient and powerful than previous.
THE VP OF BOEING TALKS ABOUT THEIR BOEING 737 MAX
Boeing released a press release speaking about their new airplane. The vice president of the company, Keith Leverkuhn, stated that this is the first airplane in the next century of aircrafts for them and that it will take the performance level to new heights. Leverkuhn mentions how this new 737 Max will use 20 percent less fuel than previously. Over an extended period of time, that will save a lot of money on fuel. The new 737 Max will also have winglets designed with their Boeing-designed Advanced Technology, as well as LEAP-1B technology engines. They say this will make it the most reliable and efficient plane on the market.
THE NEW BOEING 737 MAX TO BE TESTED
The company says that this new aircraft can be expected to be tested next year. After they make sure that their plane is ready to go, they say that they already have a customer set up. They said that Southwest Airlines is expected to get the first delivery from the aircraft sometime in 2017. However, this is considering that all goes right in the testing phase. If some issues happen during testing, then that date may be pushed back.
THE BOEING 737 MAX DID GO ACCORDING TO PLAN
Even though testing may reveal problems, Leverkuhn did state in their release that the company was able to finish this project on time. He said that all went according to plan and the team was able to work at it together very well. All the company has to do now is test their 737 MAX, make sure it is good to go, and then they will be able to show the world their amazing new beast!
