737-400
The Boeing 737-400 is the
stretched version of the second-generation Boeing 737. The major change of the
737-400 over the smaller 300 is a 3,05 meter fuselage stretch, the stretch
increases maximum passenger seating to 188. To cope with the increased weights,
more powerful CFM56s are fitted. Other changes are minor, such as a tail bumper
fitted to protect against over rotation at takeoff, something that could have
become a problem due to the increased fuselage length. All three second
generation 737 models share extensive systems and structure commonality, and a
common aircrew type rating.
