The 737s of the American company Boeing entered service in 1968 (the Pleistocene!) And are among the best-selling passenger jet aircraft in history. Its different versions have been succeeding each other with success and now it is the turn of the MAX series, with new engines and design changes that allow it to consume 20 percent less fuel than the 737s in service and fly with operational costs of 14 percent lower, as claimed by their manufacturers.
In addition, the aircraft's renewed thrusters allow it to perform maneuvers typical of half-size aircraft (to give you an idea, the 737 MAX 8 are 40 meters long and have a wingspan of 36 meters), with brutal turns and takeoffs as you can see.
The 737 MAXs are expected to enter service in 2017 with Southwest Airlines Co., a United States airline. Given Boeing's history, hopefully they will soon be flying through airports around the world. But let there be calm: it seems unlikely that pilots would dare to do these maneuvers with a plane full of unsuspecting passengers and luggage.
