Boeing 737 Family

The Boeing 737 Family is a twin-engine, single-aisle transport platform developed for shorter routes than Boeing's early four-engine jetliners. The first 737 flew in 1967, and the design subsequently evolved through the original, Classic, Next Generation, and MAX series. Passenger, convertible-freighter, dedicated freighter-conversion, and Boeing Business Jet versions share the broader 737 lineage, while their dimensions, capacity, range, and propulsion differ substantially by series.
