Boeing: Passengers
built 629 days ago
Boeing has ... introduced new extended range versions of the 737. These include the 737-700ER and 737-900ER. The 737-900ER is the latest and will extend the range of the 737-900 to a similar range as the successful 737-800 with the capability to fly more passengers, due to the addition of two extra emergency exits.

Boeing announced the launch of the 737-900ER program in July 2005. The 737-900ER incorporates a new pair of exit doors and a flat, rear-pressure bulkhead that allow a maximum capacity of 220 passengers in a single-class layout. Aerodynamic and structural design changes -- including strengthened wings, a two-position tailskid, enhancements to the leading and trailing-edge flap systems, optional Blended Winglets, and auxiliary fuel tanks -- will allow the 737-900ER to accommodate higher takeoff weights and increase its range to 3,200 nautical miles (5,900 km).

From the outside, the twin-engine 787 doesn’t look much different than other Boeing jets, except for a sleeker nose. But step inside and you see arched ceilings that allow you to store your luggage without bumping your head. There are larger luggage bins and more spacious lavatories. Responding to studies that have shown passengers feel more comfortable with a clear view of the horizon, Boeing designed the 787 with bigger windows and replaced the shades with dimming switches that can darken the windows.
