filCHT International, 20 May I96S rom the builder of the world's most successful jetliners: short-range Boeing 737 t offering airlines the advantage of 4, 5 6-abreast seating-providing the highest o'it potential-and the lowest seat-mile •st-of any short-range airliner. The 737 will have a gross weight halfla t of the 727. T||e 737's wing-mounted engine arrange- en is right for the job. It provides known tceiient stall characteristics in a two- j»ne airplane, cuts weight and installation J*. Permits interchange of identical wiles, and adds to the ease of mainten- ce. Uiuhermore, the engines are the same W & Whitney JT8Ds used on the 727.Ine /37 will carry 75 to 100 passengers at cruise speeds of 550 to 580 miles an hour. It will have the same advanced high- lift devices as the 727, assuring excep- tional low speed, short-field performance. The 737 is designed for operation by a two-man crew. Roll out is scheduled for November of next year. With many of the same cabin features, systems and components as the larger Boeing jets, the 737 offers substantial savings in maintenance, spares inventories, training and reliability to airlines now flying Boeing equipment. Even more important the 737 offers air- lines the benefits of Boeing's unequalled experience as builder of the world's most successful jet-liners. Boeing jets, in almost 2 thousand million miles of commercial operations, have demonstrated superior passenger appeal, reliability and profit- ability. These are some of the reasons why airlines have ordered—and re-ordered— more jetliners from Boeing than from any other manufacturer.
