"Boeing 737": the layout of the best (400th) model of this class

With the development of the Internet, many services and services have moved far ahead. If before you, going somewhere, had to get tickets in advance, now all this is done much easier. For example, you are flying on vacation. Through the Internet, you can book seats in the hotel, provide a taxi from the airport to the place of residence, buy an air ticket, and all this - without departing from your favorite chair.

Moreover, when ordering tickets, you can in any detail see any interesting information about the company and its fleet of cars. Take, for example, an airplane "Boeing-737". The layout of the salon, the best places, the location of the wings, kitchens and bathrooms, these questions can be found without leaving the computer. Specialized sites you can even book a selected place. At the same time, the one chosen by you, which is important, because in the plane there are both best seats and standard ones.

Static construction

While the model is on assembly pipelines, it can improve, modify, modify some blocks. This is the case for all developers in the aircraft industry. At the same time, the developments are mainly carried out in terms of updating the control systems, flight characteristics, volumes of tanks and other parts that ordinary passengers will not see. So it was with the Americans - the developers of the Boeing 737 aircraft. The interior layout, regardless of model modifications, usually does not change its parameters. No company in terms of modifications could tolerate, say, a kitchen in the middle of the salon. For all machines, the internal layout remains unchanged. With one reservation - unchanged within this model. And if you fly to 737 often, then by changing the company, you can get the best (or worst) service. The saloon of Boeing-737 will not change - and once you fly, you will already know exactly where you were sitting, and whether to choose the same place on the next flight.

Aircraft capacity

Speaking about passenger and cargo carrying capacity, it is necessary to note the fact that this aircraft, having first risen in the air in 1967, is still in demand with the airlines. Over 40 years of production, the aircraft has become more convenient and safer. Nodes, parts were changed, navigation devices were added, and in some rare cases - passenger seats. In this case, if you draw a number of places with a diagram, there will be peaks on it, there will be a fall, but the overall direction will increase. So, 737-400 was one of the "giants" in the class. I took on board 168 people and consumed resources, including refueling, much less neighbors in the class (737-300 and 737-500). The following modifications had a lower carrying capacity. This continued until the release of 737-800, which took on board 189 people. Like all Boeing's, with the exception of version 747, with the 737 Boeing, the cabin layout repeats the type of earlier versions - 6 seats in a row with one passage between them (3 + 3), which did not change the width of the hull. With the release of new versions only the length of the aircraft changes.

737-400 and Transaero

Consider the scheme of the cabin "Boeing 737-400" from the company "Transaero". Like many other models of American production, the aircraft has three classes: business, economy and tourism. The business class is represented by only 2 rows, but neither the first nor the second row is particularly comfortable. People sitting in the first row will have little room for their feet because of the front partition. The second row of seats, in addition, has another partition at the back, as a result of which the backs do not recline. The partition is not so dense, so the noise of neighbors from the "economy" these passengers will hear.

The seats in the next salons already go three in a row. The whole economy class of the aircraft is designed so that the rows of seats can freely move forward or backward, as a result of which rows 14 and 16 do not have portholes. The next 17 (as well as 18) series do not have the ability to tilt the backrest due to rear emergency exits. At the same time, those sitting in the 18th row have a little more legroom. Those sitting near the porthole in the 19th row may not have one armrest - there is an emergency exit, while those sitting in the same row in other places do not have these problems.

The tourist class does not need special ideas. Everyone who flew this class knows about the small foot spaces and other "comforts" of flying in this salon. We mention only those who sit in the tail part of the cabin. The whole last row is adjacent to the bathroom unit, so it's quite noisy, and the backs are not reclining. The passenger sitting in the penultimate row near the aisle will feel the same way.

The best places

Above we considered the standard layout of one of the most successful models of the Boeing-737 aircraft. The best seats are located in the 10th, the first row of economy class. Passengers sitting at the aisle have the opportunity to throw back, and at the same time, due to narrower than the passage, the partitions between business and economy classes will receive an extra legroom. This same partition can cause trouble to neighbors in a row.

Airplane photo

And for the completion of the conversation we will provide some photos of the appearance of the Boeing-737 aircraft. The photo of the passenger version is model 737-400, the airline "Transaero", Russia.

For comparison - also the 400th, but the freight option. If you look closely, the outline of a pair of emergency exits (plane 737-400, airline Bluebird, Iceland.)

Their presence is explained by the fact that initially this plane was not planned as a cargo plane, but the formula "demand generates supply" was not canceled, and since all the planes were manufactured under a specific order - this flew from American assembly shops in a cargo version.

Conclusion

A lot has already been said about the number of "13". All the more surprising, that this topic touched also the developers of the aircraft "Boeing-737". The interior layout has 10 rows, 12 rows, 14 ... But 14 goes right after 12. The salon has seats in the 32nd row, but seats in the 13th row will not be sold to you. This room is simply not in the lounge.
