maybe the replacement will have the possibility to glide to the ground in the event of total engine failure instead of just nose-diving like the 737 Max ...

[Opinionated Blowhard]

They need to explain how they have totally revamped their engineering and quality control divisions before I will hold out hope for the new model.

737 platform began in 1967. It might be past the point for updates.

H1B Indians wrote the 737 MAX software.

Yeah, Boeing rode that “type rating” train long enough...time to get rid of that spinning trim wheel!!

[UnwashedPeasant]

They should name the replacement “737 MAX DIVERSITY.”

The Max is a great airplane - if the pilot knows how to fly it. I have a friend whose brother is a Max pilot. He says he had two incidents where the 'problem' happened. He simply reached over and flipped a switch.

Of course, he knew which switch to flip, and where it was located. That only was possible with hours and hours of training and in simulators. If he had to open up the manual and then search for the symptoms, it would have been all over for the airplane and crew.

The new single-aisle airplane Boeing is developing to replace the 737 MAX is a clean sheet of paper design. This means it's being built from the ground up as an all-new aircraft, rather than a derivative or updated version of the existing 737 family. This marks Boeing's first clean-sheet commercial aircraft in over two decades, since the 787 Dreamliner.

t's positioned as a long-term response to competition from Airbus's A320neo family. While details like timelines and costs (potentially tens of billions over a decade) are still emerging, the focus is on incorporating modern technologies for better efficiency and addressing past 737 MAX challenges. No sources indicate it's a 737 derivative.

I find it a bit ironic because the MAX design was created to compete with that Airbus model. As T.B. Yoits wrote, Boeing decided to add high bypass engines but could not get the needed ground clearance without an airframe redesign. So they shoved the engines forward and compensated with software. That's what led to the two fatal crashes in 2019. So Boeing is finally going to discard that kludge concept and go with a clean sheet of paper design.

It should replace both 737 and 757. One 7 across narrow body of varying lengths and two engine/wing/box sets for short or long haul. It should be modular for future configurations.

Boeing is in the early stages of developing a new single-aisle airplane that would eventually replace the 737 MAX...

A good choice, even if it's 10 years late.
Hope their engineers do a better job this time...

The exact same 737 MAX flew more than 40,000 flights in the USA, Europe, Japan, and Aus-NZ.

Not even one Incident Report was filed about the allegedly deadly auto-pilot software.

Two crashes.

Four Muslim pilots.
