C-40 & P-8
Propose that in the information chart that is located at the top of the page, that the C-40 Clipper and P-8 Poseidon be listed under 'Developed Into'. DEWY CHEATEM AND HOWE (talk) 09:00, 11 October 2011 (UTC)


 * This article primarily covers the 737-100 and -200, of which the T-43 is a direct variant. Since it is also an overview article of the entire 737 line, we also included the other major families, the Classic, NextGen, and MAX, in the "Developed into" field. The C-40 and P-8 are variants of the of the Boeing 737 Next Generation, and are listed as variants in that article's infobox. We try to keep the top infobox list resticted to the main variants, and those variants derived directly from the basic models. We do generally list all of a types variants in the See also section, and you'll find the C-40 and P-8 there. I hope that helps to explain the reasoning. - BilCat (talk) 09:58, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

Chronological orders table
Would it be appropriate for the Orders and Deliveries section to have more detail on aircraft orders? The Airbus A320 family has a separate page detailing the latest aircraft orders and operators and I think the order table at least is useful and interesting. I would not suggest at this stage a whole new page but maybe a collapsible table with a 12 month rolling order summary, as seen in the A320 page? The information is very freely available and easy to keep track of, and I am happy to do start it off if other people think it is appropriate. Bthebest (talk) 12:59, 1 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Not here. This article already has several orders/delivery tables.  The current in production 737s at Boeing 737 Next Generation, which has a year by year table. -Fnlayson (talk) 14:33, 1 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Ok, so how about a table as suggested originally on the 737NG page? And a separate one for the MAX page as the orders build up? Or a separate page for each like the the 787 and 777. Bthebest (talk) 15:00, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

In pop culture?
Hi. Just like many other plane articles do, should we have a Boeing 737 in pop culture section? I'm not saying we should or shouldn't, just asking. From what I can remember, 737 was portrayed in Random Hearts, Red Eye, The Slums of Beverly Hills, plus all the "Airport 24/7" and many of the Air Accident or Air Emergency shows.

 * Most pop culture is just to trivial to mention and anything of note would be in the Aircraft in fiction article. MilborneOne (talk) 10:08, 31 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Milborneone. I guess I could add a 737 section on that page....Antonio Loco de la Calle Martinaqui, por favor 11:59, 31 October, 2012 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

find malaysia airline company colors
Suddenly, I can not find pictures of any MA airline. The ojects found floating are of an airline! My question is what were the company colors? If there are prior pictures some where let me know, Terry — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.105.40.20 (talk) 14:54, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
 * If you're talking about the Malaysian Airlines flight 370 disappearance, note that the aircraft involved was a Boeing 777, not a 737. You are looking at the wrong page, so no wonder you're not finding any pics of Malaysian Airlines a/c. &mdash;Comp dude 123 17:02, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

Two vs. three crew in -100 and -200
I changed the Specifications table to show only two crew for all models. While it is true to say that several airlines in the US operated 737-100s and -200s with three people sitting in the cockpit, the third crew member was not required and was in there for non-operational reasons i.e. because the pilots' union said he should be there. YSSYguy (talk) 11:20, 9 October 2013 (UTC)


 * They may have ridden the jump seat merely to return to their home airport. Crew ferrying is not an insignificant proportion of all passengers. The uncomfortable jump seat frees up a revenue-earning seat in the passenger cabin. Of course unions would be against the idea. Some airlines have agreements to carry each others crew free of charge.220.240.251.52 (talk) 01:52, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Fuel Consumption Figures
So the sales and marketing types are at it again. For those of us who do not care what brand of beer we drink, where can you find the Specific Fuel Consumption rates for these type of Vehicles? In the US and Canada, for Automobiles, there are published fuel consumption guides, depending on the Vehicle, and a Standard Drive Pattern. For the airlines it is not so easy, but still why are there no Guides. Ie An Airbus 320 Flies at x lbs / hr @ a Certain Takeoff Weight (based on its configuration) vs a 737-xxx flies at x lbs/ hr @ a certain takeoff weight (apples to apples). Richard416282 (talk) 21:02, 26 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Dont understand the sales and marketing comment but fuel consumption rates are not notable or encyclopedic unless somehow unusual and then that would be mentioned in the narrative. MilborneOne (talk) 09:04, 27 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Generally the fuel consumption figures are irrelevant to anyone other than a potential customer for the airliner type. These figures are usually laid out in the specialised brochures that airliner manufacturers supply to prospective customers, i.e., the airlines. Unlike a road car or other road vehicle, these figures are highly variable, depending on the number of passengers carried, and also on the amount of fuel that has to be lifted for a particular journey. Airliners usually fly with the minimum fuel necessary - plus a reserve - for any journey, as the increased weight of unneeded fuel reduces fuel economy, and hence increases cost to the airline - every pound (or rather kilogramme these days) of weight has to be lifted and so any additional fuel over and above that needed for a particular journey in turn uses additional fuel, as fuel consumption increases with increased weight, as also does induced drag.


 * To the orginal poster, I suspect that if you were to write to the two major western airliner manufacturer's publicity departments - Boeing and Airbus - asking nicely they may send you some of their brochures with the relevant details. You could also try the ex-Soviet ones such as Ilyushin and Tupolev, etc., as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.24.208.47 (talk) 09:13, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

737-100 Purchase Price?
The 'Background' section mentions that Lufthansa ordered 21 aircraft worth $67 million in 1965 and that the purchase would be equivalent to $190.28 million in 2008. Using an online inflation calculator, I determined that the purchase would actually be equivalent to $457.95 million (in 2008 dollars). Is the $67 million number correct? Also, shouldn't the monetary equivalent be updated to 2015 US dollars? F0rteOC (talk) 22:35, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Lufthansa was launch customer and - more important - driving force behind the developement of the 737, so they got a good price. 176.4.70.228 (talk) 19:28, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

gear suspension
The older 737's like 707/720's and 727's had poorer gear suspension compared to for instance B 757's and later. At a B707 ony a short stairway was needed and the pilots didn't need radio altitude countdown (in good weather, at least). Has this changed through the development of the B737, or are the pilots still sitting 3-4 meter above ground (standing still). A B707/720 typically had bottom of its entry/exit doors at around 4 meter heigt. (assume on DC8 and DC9, this was the same) Boeing720 (talk) 02:34, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

Reference # 123
I erroneously stated that I citation I inserted was reference #90 in the 737-600 subsection, but after looking at that number agin, it turns out it is reference # 123. My mistake. Sam.gov (talk) 21:37, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
