The American company Boeing is recognized as one of the world leaders in aircraft construction. Aircraft of its production are widely spread all over the world. All passenger liners have high reliability indicators and are in demand both among airlines and passengers. Perhaps none of the frequent flyers who find out that the flight will be on a Boeing aircraft will worry about their own safety and comfort. The brand itself seems to guarantee him both.

Founder

William Edward Boeing was born in 1881 in Michigan. He studied at Yale University, at the beginning of the 20th century he was engaged in a woodworking business, like his father. In those years, this area was quite profitable, his business immediately went well, and by 1910 he was already one of the most successful and revered residents of Seattle. From a very early age, William Boeing's dream was aviation - he sought to learn as much as possible, attended all exhibitions and events dedicated to airplanes, aviation and flight. Fate brought him together with kindred spirits - the same aviation lovers as himself - Konrad Westervelt and Tira Maroni, who has her own airplane. William Boeing was lifted into the air in 1915.

Together with his friend, George Conrad Westervelt, who has an engineering background, he created the company Pacific Aero Products, which was engaged in the production of seaplanes. In 1917, the company became known as The Boeing Company. William Boeing invested about $ 100,000 in the development of his brainchild - for the beginning of the last century it was just crazy money. The company was supposed to deal exclusively with seaplanes for the US Navy, but in those days it was profitable to work not only for the military, but also for the civilian population. After 1927, Boeing began to conquer the civil aviation market - they began to use it for the first time when transporting mail. In 1929, the founder developed the first passenger aircraft for 12 people - at the same time, for the first time, flight attendants boarded the aircraft to serve passengers. Over the years, the Boeing Corporation has gained more and more momentum, turning into a huge titan of the business and turning its organizer into a successful businessman and millionaire. William Boeing was the company's president and, in recent years, chairman of the board. He died in 1956, in the last years of his life he sold his part of the shares, retired and lived on his own yacht off the coast of Canada. It is known that after aviation, thoroughbred breeding horses became his passion. He was married and had three sons.

history of the company

Before the war, Boeing was engaged in the production of seaplanes and airplanes, in wartime - the production of bombers. After the end of the Great Patriotic War, the company switched to the production of civil passenger aircraft. One of the first was created Boeing 367-80, which is the prototype of the liners of modern production. In 1964-1967, the Boeing 737 series was developed. This family of aircraft represents about 10 types of aircraft, which are recognized as the most common in civil aviation.

Activity

Boeing, along with civilian aircraft, produces military and space equipment. The structure of the Boeing Company is divided into two industries - Boeing Commercial Airplanes, which deals exclusively with civil aviation, and Integrated Defense Systems, which implements space and military programs. Boeing supplies products developed by the company to 145 countries around the world, its factories operate in 67 countries. Boeing's main competitor is the European company Airbus. The number of employees exceeds 160 thousand people scattered around the world - in all representative offices and research centers of the corporation. Currently, The Boeing Company is a world leader in aircraft manufacturing, it offers its customers the latest scientific developments and technological innovations, and many representatives with scientific degrees and awards are among its employees. The company reflects almost the entire path of development of world aviation and astronautics. The representative office of the company in Russia appeared in 1993 - the Scientific and Technical Center of Boeing was opened in Moscow. Later, in 1997, the company accepted its first order for the production of aircraft for a Russian carrier - it was Aeroflot, which placed an order for 10 Boeing aircraft. In 2013, the 20th anniversary of the Boeing Russia representative office took place. The Boeing Company is engaged in charitable work, constantly providing assistance to social areas such as education, health care, environmental protection, civic engagement, arts and culture.

Boeing 737

This model of a civil passenger airliner is recognized as the most common in the world in the history of aviation. It is a narrow-body passenger

The production of this series of aircraft began in 1967; more than 8,000 models have been produced to date. The main production of Boeing is located in the USA, California. According to statistics, at any given time there are about 1200 such aircraft in the air, every 5 seconds a Boeing 737 lands or takes off at some point on the planet. The total number of parts used to assemble the aircraft exceeds 3 million pieces.

families

All aircraft of the Boeing 737 series are divided into three families. Boeing Original were produced from 1967 to 1988, the next family is the Boeing Classic. This includes aircraft models 300, 400, 500 - they were put into production in 1988 and were manufactured until 2000. Then the company began to produce aircraft of the NG - Next Generation family. This modification has been put into production since 1997. All Boeing aircraft differ in technical characteristics, length, capacity and range of flights for which they are intended.

Boeing 737-500 aircraft

The presented model is a medium-haul passenger aircraft. It is the newest of the classic family. Previous models of the family had too high noise and operating costs. Boeing 737-500 is recognized as the main competitor Before the start of the project development, 73 orders were received from airlines around the world. The history of the creation of the model began in the 1960s, when the company's management decided to design a new aircraft that would have a larger capacity and a lower noise level. When developing the project, it was assumed that the capacity would be about 60 passengers, but after receiving an order from the German airline Lufthansa, it was decided to increase the number of passengers to 104. The main difference is the work of improved turbojet engines. Such changes made it possible to significantly reduce the noise level, which became the main competitive advantage of this particular model. In addition to reducing the environmental impact of the engines, the optimization has resulted in improved passenger comfort inside the aircraft cabin. In addition, the changes affected the design of the wing - its new modification allows the aircraft to be used during takeoff and landing on short runways, which makes it more convenient and economical to use. The Boeing 737-500 aircraft model is distinguished by its high fuel efficiency. Its relatively small capacity allows the use of a passenger aircraft for short and medium-haul flights.

In general, the company's management says that the development of the Boeing 737-500 was relatively inexpensive, and production began quickly enough. After the assembly of the very first aircraft was completed, a solemn ceremony took place - it was held on January 17, 1967. About the Boeing 737-500 aircraft, the reviews left not only by passengers, but also by airlines, speak of its reliability, efficiency, operating economy and comfort. This is widely used in all countries of the world, despite the fact that the manufacturing company already offers new and improved models, it is he who is very popular.

Boeing 737-500: interior

The aircraft is designed for 108 passengers. Of these, 8 are business class seats and 100 are economy class. The cabin is quite spacious, low noise level allows for a comfortable flight over medium and short distances. The aircraft of this model provides for the layout of seats depending on the wishes of the carrier airline. Each airline distributes passenger seats by flight class according to its own preferences. You can change the number of business class seats - increase them to 50, respectively, the number of economy seats will decrease. As with many aircraft, the best seats on the Boeing 737-500 are just behind business class. Most passenger seats in the cabin provide for the ability to recline the back of the seat and stretch your legs forward - this is especially important on long flights. Passenger seats are arranged in two rows of three seats each - this has also become one of the advantages compared to other models, since only five rows of seats were previously used. B is similar to the cabin of aircraft of the same family. Seats in front of the emergency exit in the 12th row. This allows passengers to use more space, as there are fewer seats. The last rows - 22 and 23 - are located next to the toilets. Passengers choosing these seats suffer some inconvenience due to people constantly passing by. The location at the very beginning of the cabin gives an advantage when distributing food and drinks - in the Boeing 737-500 the best seats are in the front rows of the cabin.

Specifications

The Boeing 737-500 model is 2 meters shorter than the previous model of the same family. The length of the aircraft is 31 meters, height - 11. An empty equipped aircraft weighs 31,000 kg, the maximum take-off weight is 60,500 kg. The maximum speed that the Boeing 737-500 can reach is 945 km/h. The practical flight range is 5500 km. The crew in the cockpit - 2 people. Passenger capacity is 108 people - if the cabin is divided into two classes - economy and business. When using only tourist class, it can accommodate 138 passengers. Engine - CFM56-3C1, Boeing 737-500 jet - aircraft with a fuel tank capacity of 23,000 liters. The width of the cabin exceeds 3.5 meters. Boeing 737-500 (photo confirms this) has an impressive appearance.

catastrophes

As of 2013, a total of 174 Boeing 737-500s have been lost worldwide. Air crashes killed 3,835 people. Due to its wide distribution, this aircraft was hijacked by terrorists 110 times or subjected to other criminal influences. Due to such incidents, 575 people died. The most significant episode with the destruction of the aircraft recognize the incident in Angola in 1983. An Angolan Airlines plane was blown up from the ground by terrorists, who later declared themselves, and crashed almost immediately after takeoff from Lubango airport. All 130 people on board were killed. The accident in Mangalore was recognized as the largest disaster in terms of the number of victims. The plane of one of the Indian airlines skidded off the runway, crashed and caught fire on impact. There were 166 people on board that plane, 158 of them died, some managed to escape.

In Russia, a Boeing 737 crashed in Perm in 2008 - it fell on a railroad within the city. All the people on board were killed - 88 people. This aircraft belonged to the Aeroflot Nord company, currently this carrier operates on the Russian market under a new name - Nordavia. One of the unverified versions of the accident in 2008 is considered to be a technical malfunction of the aircraft - at the time of the crash, it seemed that the crew was following the instructions of the ground service in reverse. In this regard, the actions of the pilots are designated as inadequate. Some sources indicate that Boeing 737 aircraft of the 1990s have such a fatal control feature - the rudder hydraulic system can reverse the guiding effect, that is, the machine performs all the pilot's actions in reverse. This malfunction is not recognized by the internal systems of the aircraft, and the crew does not see from the inside how the aircraft actually behaves. It is known that in 1996, Boeing issued a special bulletin that ordered all airlines to conduct a mandatory check of the functioning of the hydraulic system components of aircraft manufactured in the 90s. There is a version that the plane that crashed in Perm was previously operated in China and, perhaps, did not pass such a check. However, this version of the disaster is not official and is not recognized by government agencies as the only true one.

Some airlines choose to use only Boeing 737-500 aircraft in their fleet. These include Southwest Airlines, which owns over 500 aircraft. Due to its reliability and time-proven efficiency, many airlines in the post-Soviet countries choose this particular model for flights. Of the Russian companies, one can name Transaero, Aeroflot, Siberian Airlines S7, Utair and many others. Boeing 737-500, Transaero is one of the most popular aircraft when flying within Russia and abroad. The company's air fleet includes 14 aircraft of this type. Also, Yamal Airlines uses Boeing 737-500 quite widely. The fleet of this carrier has 6 such aircraft. One of the largest owners of the Boeing 737-500 fleet is Utair. This airline operates 34 aircraft.

The Boeing 737-500 model does not have an emergency fuel drain system. This means that at the time of the accident, the plane is forced to circle before landing in order to use up fuel. In the event of an emergency, landing is carried out with an excess weight.

To paint a Boeing 737-500 aircraft - the photos are presented above - over 200 liters of paint are required, when dried, its weight is 113 kg.

The UTAir airline uses Boeing 737-800 aircraft in its fleet with two types of cabins - business and economy classes, and a mono-configuration. How to choose the best seats on the Boeing 737-800, read on.

Some time ago, world and Russian airlines began to take extra money for seats with an increased step. UTAir is no exception. Nevertheless, you can fly in comfort without overpaying for seats under the “Choose Comfort” service.

The image shows two layouts of the Boeing 737-800 cabins with business class and mono layout (economy only):

The best seats on the Boeing 737-800 with business class

Business class is located from 1st to 3rd row (12 seats). Seat layout: 2x2. I will not dwell on the description of this part of the cabin. The best seats in business class include any chair.
Economy class seats are located from 4th to 28th row (147 seats). Each row has its own characteristics:

Row 4
Seats in this row have increased legroom and are included in the "Choose Comfort" service. Seats in this row UTAir sells for money.
The distance from the seats of the 4th row to the partition separating the business class from the economy class is 40.5 cm. Quite comfortable.

Rows 5-8
Life hack how to fly in comfort at no extra cost:
Once these rows belonged to the Economy-comfort class, now the airline classifies them as a regular economy class.

If possible, take seats in this block. Armchairs of the former Economy Comfort have folding footrests and adjustable headrests! The step of the seats is also impressive: 81 cm!

And it's all free.

Also, the advantages of this block of rows are the range of the toilet, the absence of people walking during the flight. In addition, food distribution starts from the 4th row and all the most delicious in the full range is at your disposal.

Row 9
All the pluses of the block from 5 to 8 row.
The disadvantages of this row include the engine that partially obscures the view from the window and increased noise during takeoff. Seat spacing is standard.
Due to the partition behind this row, the backs of the seats may not recline.

Rows 10-11
Standard rows of seats. The disadvantages include the lack of a view from the porthole. To the pluses - silence, because. the noise from the engines is muffled by the wing.

Attention! Seats in the 10th row may not recline!

Row 12
The seats on this row are high-comfort seats and are definitely included in the list of the best seats on the Boeing 737-800 aircraft.
The pitch of these chairs is 90 cm.
But there are also disadvantages: the view from the porthole closes the wing. Seat backs may not recline due to emergency exits.

Rows 13-17
Everything is similar to rows 10-11.

Row 18
The view from the window is partially covered by the trailing edge of the wing, increased noise from the engine during takeoff is possible. Seat spacing is standard.

Rows 19-26
What can be said about this sector of the cabin? The closer to the tail, the worse the place.
Of course, in terms of safety, the tail section is preferable, but I always try to choose seats closer to the nose of the aircraft.
The cabin sector from wings to tail is the most saturated with passengers, so to speak.

What awaits people who have taken seats in this part of the aircraft:

  • Passengers scurrying in the aisle. To the toilet and just kneading legs.
  • Lines for the toilet. As a result, interference with the personal space for passengers in aisle seats, hanging and leaning on their backs, while waiting for access to the toilet.

Row 27
If you happen to choose seats in this row, do not take D, E, F. Because these chairs are the last in the cabin. Behind them are only toilets and a kitchen.
Consequences of this arrangement: non-reclining seatbacks, noise from slamming toilet doors, noise from the kitchen, queues.

Row 28
Is half near. It has only three chairs - A, B, C. It has all the "charms" of places D, E, F of row 27. But that's not all.

The step of the seats in this row is reduced. Tall people will not be comfortable flying in this row.

Best Seats on Boeing 737-800 Mono (Economy Class Only)

The entire cabin of the aircraft is given under economy class. Rows 1 to 31. Seat pattern: 3x3. Seats 186.

Row 1
Refers to places of increased comfort. Seats are available at an additional cost.
The distance to the partition separating the economy class from the office space from the seat is 58 cm.

Despite the fly in the ointment in the form of seat fees, the front row seats are the very best in UTAir's Boeing 737-800.
In addition to the increased legroom, the advantages include the absence of front seats, as well as:

  • No one leans back in front of you
  • Children don't drop toys in your coffee.
  • You do not contemplate the top of the head of the passengers during the flight
  • There is always a free toilet nearby.
  • The entire range of food

Boeing 737-800 cabin in mono layout:

Rows 2-10
Good seats in any row of this block. Seat spacing is standard. Lack of walking people during the flight. In the 10th row, increased noise from the engine is possible.

Row 11
Partially obscuring the view from the window of the engine and increased noise from it on takeoff are the disadvantages of this row.



Rows 12-13
The view from the porthole is closed by the leading edge of the wing, but because of it, the noise from the engine is less audible.

Boeing 737-500 belongs to the Classic generation. In terms of the number of passenger seats, it replaced the 737-200 model, it became 2 meters shorter in length than. It was equipped with new generation low noise engines. With all these indicators, the flight range has increased. Flights of new aircraft began to operate in 1990.

General characteristics of the aircraft:

  • Length: 31 meters.
  • Speed: 800 km/h
  • Range of flight: 4400 km.
  • Maximum number of passengers: 132 people.

Although the production of this model ceased in 1999, airlines still offer flights on this aircraft because it continues to be reliable in operation.

The cabins of this aircraft model differ between airlines in the number of seats, the name of the classes, as well as the distance between the seats.

  1. cockpit; two entrances at the beginning of the aircraft, two - in the tail, 2 spare - in the middle; 2 galleys at the front, 1 at the tail; 1 toilet at the beginning, 2 at the tail.
  2. The total number of rows is 26, the total number of seats is 101. The business class can accommodate eight passengers. Premium economy class has thirty seats up to emergency exits. Then two rows of six seats on each side of the aisle after the emergency exits, for a total of twelve. This aircraft has more space between the seats in economy class than other models. The tourist economy class includes eight rows of three seats on each side of the aisle and three seats at the very end of the aircraft, for a total of fifty-one seats.
  3. The total number of rows is 20, the total number of seats is 116. The business class can accommodate eight passengers. The economy class has six rows of three seats on each side of the aisle, for a total of thirty-six seats. Then there are twelve rows of three seats on each side of the aisle after the emergency exits, for a total of seventy-two seats.
  4. The total number of rows is 23, the total number of seats is 131. Economy class: the first row of three seats on one side of the aisle, then there are only fifty-seven seats to the emergency exits. Then, after the emergency exits, there are twelve rows of three seats on each side of the aisle and one row at the end of the saloon with two seats, for a total of seventy-four seats.
  5. The total number of rows is 21, the total number of seats is 126. Economy class: fifty-four seats before emergency exits and seventy-two seats after emergency exits.
  6. The total number of rows is 24, the total number of seats is 114. There are eight seats in the business class. Next is the economy class: thirty-six seats to the emergency exits; four chairs opposite the emergency exits. After emergency exits, there are sixty-six places.

Based on these parameters, you can choose an economy class with a large distance between the seats, or seats in two rows instead of three. And also roughly calculate the distance to the exits from the aircraft.

How to choose the best places?

It is better to choose a convenient location in advance, when booking or buying tickets. Also, after landing, a few minutes before takeoff, you can transfer to a free seat on your own.

Boeing 737 500 best seats and uncomfortable:

  • The general advantages of business class are more comfortable seats, more space between the seats, which allows you to better relax during flights. You can also enjoy the variety of dishes served.
  • The location at the tail of the aircraft according to the statistics of air crashes is the safest for passengers.
  • In the middle of the liner, it is dangerous because of the proximity to the wings and the engine.
  • Those sitting at the front are offered a more varied menu than passengers at the back of the plane.
  • Near the portholes, the places are ideal in order to sleep, admire the clouds or read in the daytime. When going to the toilet, you will have to disturb the passengers who are sitting nearby.
  • Medium neutral seats will be comfortable if thin neighbors are nearby.
  • Extreme places are inconvenient because someone constantly passes by, sometimes even hurts.
  • After the partitions it is convenient, because no one will recline their seat back on you. People who like privacy will have their own space. Inconvenient for those who do not want to look at the wall during the entire flight.
  • Seats with poorly reclining backs: the last row in the tail near the toilets, in front of and near emergency exits, in front of partitions for other passenger classes.
  • Near the emergency exits there is an additional distance, you can freely stretch your legs. But here it is impossible for elderly passengers, with children, with animals, to clutter up the passage with things. Flight attendants prefer to put strong men in this place, who are able not to get confused in an emergency and open an emergency exit.
  • At the beginning of the plane there may be a place designed for baby strollers . Accordingly, the kids will become the closest neighbors, which is not always convenient.
  • Two seats in a row is good because of the more personal space.
  • Right next to the toilet it is difficult to relax due to the constant walking of passengers and slamming doors, so these places are considered the worst.

It can be concluded that the comfort of the flight depends on many small factors. The most convenient option is the availability of several empty seats in the endliner and the ability to sit on 2 or 3 seats at once.

The Boeing 737-500 is a two meter shorter version of the Boeing 737-300 and is part of the 737 Classic family. This modification is designed for short and medium air routes, and compared to the basic version of the series, it has an increased flight range.

The passenger capacity of the Boeing 737-500 corresponds to the Boeing 737-200, and with an economical seating arrangement is 132 passenger seats. With its high fuel efficiency, the Boeing 737-500 is ideal for short and medium haul airlines with low passenger traffic.

Officially, the development of the Boeing 737-500 airliner began in May 1987, when it became clear that the Boeing 737-200 did not meet the new requirements for noise and fuel consumption.

The new aircraft was equipped with economical CFM International CFM56-3B1 turbofan bypass engines with a thrust of 82.3 kN. Subsequently, some models of the 737-500 airliner were equipped with CFM56-3C-1c engines with a thrust of 89.0 kN. These engines, due to their design, had a noise level much lower than required by ICAO standards. This made it possible to increase comfort inside the aircraft, as well as reduce the harmful effects on the external environment.

The cockpit is unified with all aircraft of the 737 Classic series, which allowed airlines to save costs on retraining pilots. The avionics of the aircraft consists of the EFIS digital complex from Honeywell. Flight status data is displayed on four LCD displays, and is duplicated by electromechanical devices. The aircraft also provides for the installation of a GPS satellite navigation system.

The Boeing 737-500 first flew on June 30, 1989. The US FFA Airworthiness Certificate was received on February 12, 1990. The first delivery of a production aircraft took place on February 28 of the same year to the American low-cost airline Southwest Airlines.

The construction of Boeing 737-500 aircraft continued until 1999. After which it was replaced by a new Boeing 737-600 airliner. The last Boeing 737-500 was delivered to Japanese carrier All Nippon Airways on July 26, 1999. For the entire period of serial production, 389 Boeing 737-500 aircraft were delivered to the airline. To date, this airliner, due to the low noise level and low cost of operating costs, continues to be in demand by many air carriers.

Boeing 737-500 is a passenger aircraft for short and medium haul airlines. This model was developed to replace the 737-300 aircraft. It became a little shorter (by two meters) than its predecessor and with an increased flight range. It was in this model that new generation engines were installed, which were distinguished by reduced noise levels and environmental impact.

Flight tests of the prototype aircraft began on June 30, 1989. In mid-February 1990, it received FAA certification, and Southwest Airlines took delivery of the first aircraft at the end of that month. The last model came out in 1999. For the entire period of mass production, 389 Boeing 737-500 aircraft were delivered to the airline. Today, this reliable airliner, due to its low noise level and low operating costs, continues to be in demand by many air carriers.

  • One of the greatest technical achievements of this model is the development of dynamic turbojet engines. Thanks to this technology, only a small amount of air, entrained by the turbine blades, enters the main turbine.

This effect, which reduces the impact of engines on the environment, increases comfort inside the aircraft.
