The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has approved the type certification for the Boeing 737-10.
The Boeing 737-10 is the largest member of the Boeing 737 MAX family. It can seat up to 230 passengers and offers the lowest cost per seat among single-aisle aircraft currently in service. In a two-class configuration, it typically accommodates 185 to 210 passengers and has a range of up to 3,100 nautical miles (5,740 kilometers). Technical improvements reduce carbon dioxide emissions and fuel consumption by 20%. The aircraft also incorporates enhanced safety features, including improvements to the angle-of-attack (AOA) system. These features will become standard across the entire 737 MAX family.
It is the first commercial aircraft to receive certification under the full requirements of the 2020 Aircraft Certification, Safety, and Accountability Act (ACSAA), which mandates enhanced documentation of safety and human-factors assessments. The certification program included more than 2,000 hours of flight testing, 1,000 hours of ground testing, and approximately 1,000 test flights.
Stephanie Pope, President and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, said, “The 737-10 provides greater capacity, longer range, and best-in-class economics per seat. We are pleased to complete the 737 MAX family and offer our customers the industry’s most efficient and flexible lineup of single-aisle aircraft.”
More than 30 airlines worldwide have ordered the Boeing 737-10, with total orders reaching 1,555 aircraft. It accounts for more than 30% of the current order backlog for the 737 MAX program. Across the program as a whole, Boeing has received orders for 7,350 aircraft and had delivered approximately 2,500 by September.
