You know, the 737-MAX10 does kind of evoke a "pencil jet" vibe. Not quite like the 757 but still a resemblance. Here's hoping for Boeing that it works out
Good afternoon Alex, and thank-you for taking the time to provide us this video of Boeing Field. Many years ago (mid ‘70’s), I was stationed at Ft. Lewis, Washington, which is about an hour’s drive south of Everett on I-5. Even then I had a deep love of plane-spotting commercial aircraft. Passing Boeing Field was always a great treat for me. Back then, it was churning out 707’s, 727’s, 737’s, and 747’s. The ramp was not only packed with aircraft, but it was also a spectrum of color with aircraft in liveries from around the globe as they all were ready for delivery. So for along with the video, I thank-you for bringing to my forefront some forgotten memories. It was surprising for me to see the vintage Lockheed Constellation on display. Out of curiosity, why do you think the MAX 10 is absurdly long? My personal gripe with commercial aircraft is the absurd seating capacity of all from a safety standpoint. Although they all meet the emergency evacuation standards, I believe the criteria is misleading. I believe the chances are high that in an emergency situation, there will be a few handicapped people, families with small children, etc. to gum-up the works. I include in this mess those who think that leaving behind carry-on items is for all except them. But, as long as there is a demand, the manufacturers will continue building them. Again, thank-you for the video. I am looking forward to your next one.
Glad your trip to Seattle was productive, Alex. Great to see what's happening there. Also not a bit surprising to see a plane coming in from Sweden. The west coast is a relatively short hop to Scandinavia by the polar route.
There’s usually a third 777x as well, but it was moved elsewhere for testing a few weeks ago and hasn’t returned (it goes where the military jet is parked between the other 777x)
Spotting Not really, shots at Paine Field Everett you can see at least 6 777X's parked up there, you see them in the background when first flights or test flights are preformed from the factory !! You also can see KC46A's there, and the 747 Dreamlifter !!
@@SpottingTLV if you go to Paine Airport in Everett, there's any 20 of them sitting across the airport just in Long term storage, no engines and protective covering over them
Wish a holiday would start like that! Captain: "This is your captain speaking. We will now perform a test that will show us wether you understood the safety instructions or not"
I see all these Boeing planes quite frequently flying out of Moses Lake, the destination of many of these test flights from Boeing field, I live about 8 miles north of The Grant County airport in Moses Lake....
Moses Lake is definitely on my list of go to places!! I'm a huge fan of aviation too. I was wondering if you would be wiling to check out a few of my videos, like this one I just posted in MSP. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3rasUIqUYbI.html. Let me know what you think and would love if you would subscribe!
Do they say the feeling is mutual? Never bite the hand that fed you for all those years. Don't be an ungrateful and never burn bridges Hackster. You name is apt.
Boeing really got themselves stuck in a corner by staying with the legacy landing gear on the Max. They should have used 757 gear from the start on the Max, and then they wouldn't need this overly complex dancing gear to make the 10 avoid tail strikes. Plus, they could have made an XLR competitor with the Max airframe had they used the 757 stork gear!
It looked like the Max 10 is a very stable platform for those pilots on both takeoff and landing. I really like it. What I won't like is if Southwest gets ahold of them and now, we have an all-economy configuration that holds 220 passengers. They would have to add a D boarding group and the gates area would be a congested mess. That would not be a fun flight.
@@RLTtizME I doubt it Southwest already said the Max 8 is as high as they will go. They want all of their aircraft to be able to land at Chicago Midway without weight limitations and that’s one of the reasons they didn’t go for the Max 9…
@@nickolliver3021 Well, in the meantime Airbus keeps getting the orders and delivering the aircraft. Is Boeing actually building anything at the moment that does not have a problem?
@@georgeclarke163 and Boeing is getting orders and delivering them too. Another South West 737 max 8 got delivered today MSN 8340. No Boeing doesn't have any problems building anything now as all is is is just delivering aircraft of both 737maxs and 787s which is what we want
I believe the front cockpit fuselage is basically the same as all those you listed. Same nose, same cockpit windows, same gear location etc. They basically took the tooling from their earliest jet design and kept it for the 737 since it was made at the same time as the 727 and 707 etc. Crazy that a design that debuted in 1957 (707) is still being used in 2022 as of this video.
That jerking on the main landing gear when it touches down having the extra extension down seems as though it would be very stressful and cause unnecessary torque on the gear assembly. On paper a great idea but whether it can stand repeated takeoff cycles only testing/time will tell.
They have probably strengthened the gear assembly to counteract the added torque. I'm sure that was considered when they designed it. Not a big deal really
it's a redundant aircraft anyway to be honest - besides who would want to buy a bigger plane with more pax but same total payload and less range than a smaller machine?
Every time I see a video about the 737 Max I think about how poorly managed the whole panic of losing out to Airbus and rushed the max into service knowing it may not have been ready. I used to think the world aviation industry standards were set by Boeing but not any longer.
