Boeing 737-100 Original Short-Body Airliner Variant

The Boeing 737-100 was the original short-body production variant of Boeing’s 737 twinjet, developed for short-haul commercial transport. The first 737 family flight occurred in 1967, and the 737-100 established the compact single-aisle layout that evolved through the 737-200, Classic, Next Generation, and MAX branches. Boeing's planning dimensions are 28.65 m overall length and 28.35 m span for the illustrated airframe without winglets. The listed 49,895 kg MTOW is the 110,000 lb takeoff-weight option; lower weight options also exist. Passenger capacity here is the manual's 85-seat two-class layout, rather than the exit limit or a particular airline cabin.
