The Boeing 737’s Design Feature That Has Remained Unchanged Since Its Inception

Simple Flying

The Boeing 737 is an anomaly in modern aviation. It is a high-tech digital workhorse built onto a physical frame designed in the mid-1960s. While almost every internal component has been upgraded across 4 generations of the aircraft, several core design features have remained virtually identical since the first Boeing 737-100 rolled out in 1967. In this article, we will explore the engineering nuances that exist even on the MAX today and why Boeing has fought to keep them.
