Boeing has defined its range and payload increase predictions for the 737 MAX, which will enter service in 2017. The figures emerge as Boeing firms up the design and conducts initial wind tunnel tests. The increases also reflect recent work with CFM to define the performance characteristics of the 737 MAX’s Leap-1B engine. The 737 MAX will have the capability to fly up to 540 nm farther than the existing 737 model. This translates into a range capability of more than 3,500 nm.
