What's this?

So......is the 737 Max the same plane?

I say it’s not. Fuselage and nose look basically the same. Design changes to rear end, bigger engines placed differently on the wings, higher nose gear(8” I believe) and maybe a few other design changes. Assuming that changes aerodynamics quite a bit? I know Boeing wanted to present to it’s customers that it can be flown like previous models, this reducing training time, but should they have done that?

I get that mixed up on my jet sometimes - 777 instead of 777 😉👍🏻** -- B777Fr8Dog 03/15/2019 11:59AM
