is the best-selling jet airliner in history, with over 15,000 aircraft delivered since its
introduction in 1968, and the most numerous airliner in operation today. The 737 has been
continuously updated and improved throughout its production history. The original 737-100
was followed by a series of stretched models with higher capacity, including the 737-200, -
300, -400, and -500. In the 1990s, Boeing introduced the Next Generation (NG) series, with
new engines, avionics, and a longer fuselage. The NG series was succeeded by the 737 MAX
in 2017, which features further improvements in fuel efficiency and range. The 737 is used
by airlines of all sizes, from low-cost carriers to major international airlines. It is a popular
choice for short- and medium-haul routes, and it has also been used for long-range
