B737 800 Fuel Capacity
Heritage
The members of the Next-Generation 737 family — the 737-600/-700/-800/-900ER models — continue the 737's popularity and reliability in commercial jetliner transport. The Next-Generation family has won orders for more than 6,300 airplanes, while the combined 737 family has surpassed 10,700 orders.
The Boeing 737-800 is the best-selling version of the successful Next-Generation 737 family. Known for its reliability, fuel efficiency and economical performance, the 737-800 is selected by leading carriers throughout the world because it provides operators the flexibility to serve a wide range of markets. The single-aisle jet, which can seat between 162 to 189 passengers, can fly 260 nautical miles farther and consume 7 percent less fuel while carrying 12 more passengers than the competing model.
Advanced Technology
In April 2009, Boeing and CFM introduced the New CFM56-7BE engine enhancements program to coincide with 737 airframe improvements. The combination reduces fuel consumption by two percent.
CFM's engine hardware changes will improve airflow, and the engine will run at cooler temperatures resulting in a one percent reduction in fuel consumption. Boeing's airplane structural improvements will reduce drag, reducing fuel use by about one percent. The combined improvements also equal a two percent reduction in carbon emissions.
The 737-800 incorporates an advanced-technology wing design that helps increase fuel capacity and efficiency, both of which increase range. The advanced wing airfoil design provides an economical cruise speed of .789 Mach (530 mph) – compared to .745 Mach for earlier 737 models. The Next-Generation 737 airplanes are capable of cruising to a maximum altitude of 41,000 feet, compared to 39,000 feet for the competition.
In addition, advanced-technology Blended Winglets are offered as a production option on the 737-800. These eight-foot long wingtip extensions enhance range, fuel efficiency and take-off performance while lowering carbon emissions, engine maintenance costs and noise. Performance benefits include fuel consumption and emissions reductions of up to 3.5 percent.
