The 737 MAX programme was launched in December 2011, with the most significant change to the new models being the CFM International LEAP-1B engines with 13% less fuel consumption. The Boeing 737 MAX 8 was flown on 29 January 2016.
The main external feature of the new generation is the revised wings with a span increased to 35.9m, which are terminated by distinctive winglets. Among other things, new chevron engine nacelles, which first appeared on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, have also been introduced.
The MAX 8 base version of the aircraft against the 737-800 features a range increase of nearly 1,000 km and a take-off weight of two tonnes more, which required structural reinforcement.
