![]() ![]() The aircraft is also the main supported aircraft for AriakimTaiyo's livery addon, which adds four liveries to the 737-700. The GOL livery was released three days later. Originally, the only accessible livery was the KLM scheme (it is not known if the hidden livery was available at this time), but on 22 November 2019 the aircraft gained four additional liveries with the Livery Update (WestJet, United Airlines, ANA, and Southwest Airlines). The Boeing 737-700 has six liveries available by default, as well as a hidden seventh livery accessible only via the console. Once the aircraft has decelerated sufficiently, retract the flaps and spoilers and taxi to the gate. Decelerate via the use of brakes, reverse thrust, and spoilers (using all three together can yield impressively short landing distances). Try and touch down on the main wheels first, avoiding a tailstrike, before gently lowering the nose until the nose gear is in contact with the runway. Landing speed is between 120 and 140 knots, and this can be managed by reducing throttle (or even engaging reverse thrust and/or the spoilers for short periods of time in the event of an extremely high-speed approach). Landing the 737-700 is nearly as simple as taking off, with flaps set to 2/3 for the majority of the approach, lowering to full once the aircraft is on final. The 737-700 is one of the most autopilot-friendly aircraft (meaning it rarely encounters issues while flying on autopilot), so this can be used quite effectively to steady the climb or descent, as well as level flight. Once airborne, the aircraft can climb at a steady rate, but reaching cruising altitude takes some time. ![]() However, pulling back too rapidly will likely result in a tailstrike, so use caution. Once the airplane has reached its rotation speed of approximately 130 knots, a smooth pull back on the yoke will gently lift the nose into the air, with the main wheels breaking ground shortly after. Takeoff is easily done by setting flaps to 1/3 before applying throttle and accelerating down the runway. However, be sure to keep your taxi speed relatively low as the aircraft's brakes take some time to bring it to a stop. Ground maneuvering in the 737-700 is not difficult, as effective nosewheel steering and reverse thrust allow the aircraft to be taxied in any direction that is desired without much trouble. The former is a convertible passenger/cargo configuration with a large door on the port side of the forward fuselage, and the latter is an extended-range variant with similar characteristics to the Airbus A319LR. ![]() Two primary variants of the aircraft also exist, the 737-700C and -700ER. It is similar to the A319 in this regard. ![]() The 737-700 has a standard configuration of 126 passengers, with the capability to accommodate 149 if configured in an "all-economy" seating arrangement. This airline currently operates roughly half of the approximately one thousand 737-700s currently in service, with WestJet operating 56 and United Airlines flying 39. The first 737NG model, the -700 was first introduced in 1993, and the first production order of 63 aircraft went to Southwest Airlines. Other improvements came from material advances, such as the use of single-crystal turbine blades in the high-pressure turbine.The second variant of the 737 Next Generation (or 737NG) series, an upgrade to the "Classic" series 737 (-300, -400, and -500) featuring a redesigned wing, as well as higher takeoff weights, glass-cockpit avionics, and other improvements, the 737-700 series was developed as a replacement for the older 737-300. For example, the improved wide-chord fan blades allowed the total number of fan blades to be reduced from 38 to 24. The basic mechanical arrangement is as the -3 series, but all aspects were aerodynamically improved from that model. It incorporates features from the CFM56-5 series such as FADEC, double-annular combustor (as an option), and improved internal design. It has higher thrust ranges, improved efficiency, and lower maintenance costs than its predecessor, the CFM56-3 series. The CFM56-7 first ran on 21 April 1995 is rated with takeoff thrust from 19,500 to 27,300 lbf (86.7 kN to 121 kN). Production has also begun on the re-engined and redesigned 737 MAX, which is set to enter service in 2017. The 737 is Boeing's only narrow-body airliner in production, with the 737 Next Generation (-700, -800, and -900ER) variants currently being built. Originally developed as a shorter, lower-cost twin-engined airliner derived from Boeing's 707 and 727, the 737 has developed into a family of ten passenger models with a capacity of 85 to 215 passengers. The Boeing 737 is a short- to medium-range twinjet narrow-body airliner. ![]()
