-
Image
Boeing easily beat rival Airbus in orders for new planes last month, but Chicago-based Boeing trailed its European rival in delivering planes to airline customers. Boeing said that it took orders for 31 planes in July while 17 others were canceled, resulting in a net gain of 14. That compared with two orders for Airbus. It was Boeing’s sixth straight month of positive net orders after seeing cancellations exceed orders for most of 2020. Boeing has reported 270 net orders so far in 2021. Brazil’s Gol ordered nine 737 Max jets last month and Dallas-based Southwest Airlines ordered six. Boeing delivered 28 planes in July, including nine 737 Max jets sent to Irish airline Ryanair. That fell short of Airbus, which delivered 47 planes last month. For the year, Boeing has delivered 184 planes, more than all of 2020. This despite the halt in shipping its 787 jet because of production flaws in the fuselage and nose. Last month, the company said it will cut production of 787s. Deliveries are cri...

✈ What is the Climb Rate of a 737 ✈

-
Pilots technical answers for - what the normal climb rate of a Boeing 737 would be. First things first, climb rates depends on temperature, humdity, air pressure, the aircrafts center of gravity (passenger placement/weight, fuel weight/placement, cargo placement/weight) and cost v. speed considernations.. The initial climb rates can be in excess of 3000FPM, but the Boeing 737 can't sustain that rate of climb above roughly 7000 feet due to the air density. However 1800 is about average climb rate from around 12000 up to the flight levels. Depending on load. 1800 speed is considiered a "normal climb rate" and also found in the manual. You can of course increase the speed if you'd like, but you would have to watch out for stalls. Aircraft are set up in such a way so that you don't want to slow down too much while making your climb. I'll usually start at about 2000fpm in the Boeing 737. Until around 30000 ft, when the speed starts dropping. To get to cruis...
