Boeing's new 737 MAX 7 airplane completes first test flight

• The 737 Max 7 is the shortest of Boeing's MAX jetliners, at just less than 118 feet (36 meters) long, but it has a range of 3,850 nautical miles, the longest of any MAX plane.

In case you missed the correction.

Correction, 5:19 p.m. PT: This story originally misstated the age of the 737 series. It is 50 years old.

I was afraid that high keening whine was the airraid warning, but it was just the chorus of bored airline pilots warming up for this thread. Overhhhhhheeeeeeeeaaaaaaaadddddddddd!

While many may yawn over this, just think about a screw driver. The screw driver has remained relatively standard since being invented. All it does is rotate fasteners. There have been some changes along the way. Phillips, flathead, torx, offset, etc. it fits a specific need, with minor tweaks to remain useful. Using a flathead as a chisel is sort of incidental to the original design.

While many may not get aroused over the next 737-9million-max-neo-xrs-er, it is still a tool that fulfills the primary mission it was designed for.

I compare the 737 to a wife. It's cheaper to keep her.
