Boeing's New 737 MAX


The long wait in Seattle has arrived as Boeing rolls out it's new 737 MAX jetliner in Renton.  The Max is the fastest selling airplane in the company's history.  It gets better fuel economy from new LEAP 1B engines. A new large double winglet design to help reduce drag and sculpted tail will also save fuel.

The larger cockpit displays and redesigned spoiled will distinguish the MAX from their previous version of 737.  Four of the new 737 Max-8 aircraft will be ready to take to the skies in early part of 2016.  The production and assembly line is done at the Renton factory.

The first customer deliver for the 737 MAX will go to Southwest Airlines. The increased production will mean more jobs in the future for incoming machinists, which means a bright future in aerospace.
