Could A Rewinged, Reengined 737 MAX Compete With The A321XLR?
In a word, no. Here’s why: The baseline 737 configuration has proved to be remarkably resilient for a 55-year-old design with 13 major derivatives and more than 10,500 deliveries and counting since 1967. (aviationweek.com) Plus d'info...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Unfortunately for Boeing, it’s not just the wings - their continued use of the 1958 era 707/727/737/757 fuselage diameter just cannot complete with the extra 7” of width that the A320/321 series has…Not to mention that in the MAX, you still have to put the generators on the line manually like a 1965 737-100, and there is no EICAS – just the 1965 glareshield “6 Pack”.!
Boeing need a new Narrow body design as the 737 design is really MAX out as recently demonstrated by 5he Max issues. This article supports this and the result of continued evolution into role not originally considered means more workaround and complex solutions which mean more failures and even more complexity with workarounds those compromise workarounds. Also there is a lot of 1963 design and construction in the 737 that will do with new materials to reduce weight, increase reliability and pe4formance and reduce manufacture and maintenance cost.

My apologies if you are wondering what I am going on about editing. I seem to have mixed up flightaware with Youtube, where I can edit and delete my own posts.
Sorry for double post. Tried to edit first post but edit function no longer availble.
kyle estep when will people like you stop saying Non Western pilots and ground crews are Sub Standard? dont know how to fly planes, dont know how to maintain planes? Stop this nonsense ok? before the 2 fatal crashes did ANY Western pilot encounter an identical MCAS FAILURE and saved the plane? Yes? No? if yes why was no report made to faa? was made? then was not the whole aviation world warned by faa? As I told a first class WESTERN pax who snidely remarked we cant maintain airplanes, as i was trying to fix a overhead bin that broke during boarding, "BOEING MAKES THE PLANES.WE ONLY FIX THEM!"
