Boeing 737-900 Next Generation Long-Body Airliner Variant

The Boeing 737-900 was the longest-fuselage Next Generation 737 passenger variant, extending the single-aisle family for higher-capacity short- to medium-range markets. The later 737-900ER improvement remains within this long-body boundary, while the 737 MAX 9 is treated as a separate successor branch. The illustrated airframe is 42.11 m long with a 34.32 m span without winglets; the winglet configuration spans 35.79 m. The listed 85,139 kg MTOW is the 187,700 lb 737-900ER option; the original 737-900 table reaches 79,015 kg. Capacity here is Boeing's 177-seat two-class planning layout; actual cabins and operating weights vary.

    Notes
    Boeing lists CFM56-7B as the engine for the 737-900 Next Generation model, and CFM International identifies CFM56-7B as the exclusive engine for the Boeing Next-Generation 737. The canonical relationship is recorded at exact CFM56-7B family precision without inferring a thrust subrating or a 737-900ER-specific option.
