The world's best selling airplane, the Boeing 737, is now building at its highest rate ever. In Renton, Washington, the Boeing factory is now assembling 38 planes a month.
The airline I work for is taking delivery of many of these. Perhaps even one of the few you saw here! As a mechanic, the Boeing products we have, which is all of them i think, have the highest availability of any of our fleet. If it were up to me, we would have nothing else. Especially the 737. Even the older -500's just never quit! But I can't wait to get my hands on the 787. I hope they get things worked out soon.
Компания "Боинг" самый лучший производитель самолетов в мире. Эти слова я говорю как пассажир боинга, как инженер-механик. Я бы хотел поработать хотя бы месяц в компании Боинг и принять непосредственное участие в производстве этих воздушных лайнеров.....
I like this Boeing-737-800 very much to fly with RYANAIR from Germany to the Canary Islands. 25 years ago I flew to Tenerife in the old Boeing-727, but today the new models of Boeing-737 are able to fly this distances of more than 4500 km.
"The same work every day" that sounds depressing. People might become very proficient, but it's that sort of routine that led to Friday and Monday cars so undesirable a generation ago. Still building more than one airliner per day is a very impressive accomplishment.
Some airlines choose that option to increase the crosswind limit from 33 to 36 knots, others to allow for a faster rate of descent. I agree it's a little unconventional though.
I'm guessing that it is because the cost (and weight?) of the winglets is not beneficial for short range flights. Much like the 747-400 D (Domestic) operated by ANA on short range flights- no winglets.
It seems like more than one airliner a day, but really it's several airliners being built simultaneously by separate teams over the span of a few days. It's nonlinear in that sense.
Me too! I love the look of the 757. It's too bad that airlines happen to be businesses that are all about having the lowest seat-mile costs... I think the 737-800/900 killed the 757. Once you start stretching the fuselage the seat-mile costs drop, making every other aircraft financially obsolete... like the 777-300ER, which destroys everything else (even the 747). I'm going to start "757 Airlines" to preserve 757s. All flights will be international (like how Icelandair uses the 757).
The 777 is more than twice the price of a 737 and designed for long flights. I see why the 737 is in far more demand but you can't beat a 777 for flying long distances.
i never heard about BOEING OPEN RECRUITMENT......... if i lucky, i want to join Boeing..... Airbuss and BAA already open recruitment in Indonesia. and i still waiting for Boeing Open Recruitment Job Vacancy Fair in Jakarta, Indonesia
I don't know why they didn't use the 757 as a continuation airframe for the 737 family... would be a much better product with far higher capacity. It's basically simple, just keep the 757 in production (fuselage and use that as the 737 fuselage. Slap some new wings and engines et onto it then voila, bye bye A320 - airlines want higher capacity, and the 757 is great for short haul.
holy crap they can build a whole 737 in less than one day... thats insane. boeing is probably the most sucsessful corporation to ever exist on this earth.
And BOEING has been building plane continously for 98 years here in the Pacific Northwest and can lay claim to most all aircraft advancements...first "Modern" airliner.. first 4 engine airliner first pressurized air liner first SUCCESSFUL jet liner first wide body...etc
Boeing turns out the door of the Renton plant about 40 planes a month ! ! ! that is less than a day ! ! But you have to remember they are only "Assembled" in Renton...the parts are built all over and brought in for assembly...the fuseloge is built in Witchta Kansas and shipped in by rail...
+Páll Viðar Hafsteinsson haha yah. they're assembled over a period of 10 days, it's just they have so many in the two lines that it makes it so that at least one airplane rolls out the doors each day.
EVERETT is about 30 miles NORTH of Seattle and RENTON is about 8 miles SOUTH of Seattle. Google both the cities and see.. you can also Google the Fctories and use the sattelite and zoomin on them and see all the details IE Boeing Renton Washington USA plant or Boeing Everett Washington USA plant. cheers...
Are you mad? The A320 family still dominate the worlds small airliners today. It overtook the 737 a long time ago. Boeing stopped making 757's years ago. The mid size jet is still dominated by 757's but they're a dying breed, and the only replacement remotely similar, is the A321. And with the new A32X models being built, don't be surprised if more airlines go for A319, 320 and A321's!!
