The Boeing 737 is a narrow-body aircraft produced by Boeing at its Renton Factory in Washington.Developed to supplement the Boeing 727 on short and thin routes, the twinjet retains the 707 fuselage cross-section and nose with two underwing turbofans.Envisioned in 1964, the initial 737-100 made its first flight in April 1967 and entered service in February 1968 with.
(Yicai Global) Jan. 6 -- China's HNA Group and US plane maker Boeing will join hands on improving the Boeing 737 Next Generation series's maintenance.
The US firm will help the Chinese conglomerate to build a one-stop aircraft maintenance base by sending engineers to analyze data and train their HNA counterparts, Hainan Daily reported today, citing the pair's agreement.
The partnership should improve the safety of HNA's 737NG fleet and reduce maintenance costs, according to the report. The 737NG is a narrow-body aircraft that the Chicago-headquartered firm stopped producing last January to replace it with the troubled 737 Max.
HNA hopes to develop cooperation regarding multiple programs, including the Boeing 737-800, to build Hainan province into an international aviation hub, said Executive Chairman Gu Gang.
Boeing will explore more opportunities to join hands with HNA, said Gao Sixiang, vice president at the US firm's Chinese arm.
Haikou-based HNA has more than 290 Boeing aircraft.

The 737-NG Flightdeck
In the NG, the larger PFD/ND (formerly known as EFIS/MAP) are now side by side to fit into the spaceavailable, controls for these are located either side of the MCP. The EIS &fuel gauges are both on the central CDS with a sixth screen below that,between the CDU's. The flat panel displays have the advantage over CRT's ofbeing lighter, more reliable and consume less power, although they are moreexpensive to produce.
The overhead panel remains largely unchanged since the-100, apart from a digital AC & DC metering panel & DCPCS.
According to Boeing, the requirements from the airlines for the new cockpitwere:
- To be easy for current 737 pilots to operate.
- To anticipate future requirements eg transitioning to 777 style flightdecks.
- To accommodate emerging navigation and communication technologies.
The 737-NG is slowly starting to morph into the MAX. Boeing have introduced some of the features of the MAX throttle quadrant onto NGs from l/n 5605. The differences are:
- The engine start levers have had their first change since the 707. They are now lever-rock toggles switches. They have moved to the left slightly and the lightplate has also been changed. Trivia point for you, the little white cross on the (any) lightplate shows the location of the earthing point behind it. Press it there if the lighting is intermittent or goes off.
- The engine start levers (switches!) will now illuminate when the associated engine fire switch has illuminated.
- The park brake light is now LED and smaller and has been dropped down by a couple of cm to give more room to operate the Engine 1 start lever/switch.
- The parking brake lever has been reshaped.
- The horn cutout button has moved from near the flap 30 detent to the right of the park brake light
