BACKGROUND
The
B737 is the best selling commercial aircraft in aviation
history with more than 5,200 orders.
Work
on the B737 started in 1964. Because Boeing where competing
against aircraft like BAC111, DC-9 and Caravelle, they knew
they needed something different and incorporated wing mounted
engines. Which gave many advantages: less interference drag,
better centre of gravity and larger cabin space.
The B737 used many design features from the B727 including the fuselage cross
section. Which not only gave cost savings in tooling, but also payload advantages
of 6 abreast seating. Standard cabin features where also used such as the galleys
and toilets from the B727 and B707. The B737 large interior and large hold
capacity gave scope for using the aircraft as a freighter.
In fact the 737 had a 60% parts commonality with the 727 which included the
doors, leading edge devices, nacelles, cockpit layout, avionics, components
and other fittings. The 727 in turn had a similar commonality with the 707,
so parts of the 737 can be traced back to the early 1950's eg the fuselage
cross-section above the floor.
Using the same components was quick and cheap for both design and production
and also helped pilots and engineers convert to the new type, but they also
dated the aircraft, a feature which was never really addressed until the NG's
30 years later.
