Boeing 737-800 Next Generation Airliner Variant

The Boeing 737-800 is a high-capacity Next Generation 737 airliner variant that extended the single-aisle family’s range and passenger capability for short- to medium-range markets. It remains distinct from the 737-800BCF converted-freighter boundary and from the MAX 8 successor branch. The illustrated airframe is 39.47 m long with a 34.32 m span without winglets; the winglet configuration spans 35.79 m. The listed 79,015 kg MTOW is the 174,200 lb passenger-aircraft option. Capacity here is Boeing's 160-seat two-class planning layout; actual cabins and operating weights vary.
