Boeing 737 MAX Gets New Orders

-

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...

✈ New Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner ✈

Brief Description: The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner is a superefficient airplane of the third millennium with new passenger-pleasing features. It will bring the economics of large jet transports to the middle of the market, using 20 percent less fuel than any other airplane of its size. The main innovation of the new 787 Dreamliner over the aircraft of previous generations is the use of composite material carbon fibre instead of aluminium, which significantly reduces the weight and improves performance. The conditions onboard the plane are continuously monitored by a system of sensors, which also report any maintenance needs to the ground computer systems. Even the air in the cabin has a greater level of humidity than at present and the altitude within the cabin has been reduced by around 1000 meters, this significantly improve the comfort conditions for travellers. The added light from the larger windows also makes the interior more comfortable. Advances in engine technology hav...

✈ 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...
