	History and Development of the Boeing 737
		Boeing wanted a true short-haul jet to compete with the Caravelle, BAC One-Eleven and DC-9 but was way behind them.
		Boeing's assistant director of flight operations, Brien Wygle (Left) was in command and Lew Wallick (Right) the chief test pilot was co-pilot.
		Also much of the components are outsourced beyond Boeing; eg the doors are built by Vought at Stuart in Florida, the spoilers by Goodrich at Charlotte, NC, the vertical fins by Xi'an Aircraft Industry in China and the horizontal stabilisers are built by Korea Aerospace Industries.

	Boeing Y1
		Y1 is a Boeing Commercial Airplanes project to replace the 737-700, 737-800, 737-900 and 757-200 product lines.
		It is widely expected that Y1 will feature a wider cabin than the Boeing 737 or the Airbus A320, possibly even using a twin-aisle design.
		Pratt and Whitney is proposing to use geared turbofan technology for the Y1 and NSR, while Rolls-Royce is proposing a three-spool turbofan [2].

		Boeing believes the 737-900ER will be a suitable 757-200 replacement for most passenger applications, though the 737-900ER does not have the hot and high capacity of the 757 family.
		Boeing decided against further investment in the 757 family and focused efforts on the 737 Next Generation series (specifically the 737-900ER which Boeing believes will be a suitable 757-200 replacement for most passenger applications) and the Boeing 787, which Boeing believes, in smaller versions, will substitute for larger versions of the 757 family.
		A Boeing 757 is also used by the royal family of Saudi Arabia as a flying hospital.

		Boeing has taken its first formal step towards launching a replacement for the 737, appointing key personnel to the internal study that has been downplayed for the past several years.
		Boeing is also likely to use the research at a later stage to develop its Y3 replacement of the 777.
		Boeing has split its 737 Replacement Study (737RS) into two main categories, including one in the 90- to 100-seat range, and is targeting an engine decision as early as the first quarter of 2008 as it focuses in on a launch decision later that year to allow service entry in 2012.

	Boeing Model 299
		Boeing records claim that the Fortress destroyed 23 enemy aircraft per thousand sorties as compared to 22 for Liberators, eleven by US fighters, and 3 by all US light and medium bombers.
		The origin of the Boeing Fortress can be traced to a February 1934 Army Air Corps requirement for a bomber with a range of 5000 miles at 200 mph while carrying a bombload of 2000 pounds.
		Several manufacturers (including Boeing) were invited to submit bids, with the entries being flown at Wright Field in a final competition to select the winner.

		Boeing has dismissed such notions insisting that composites have been used on wings and other passenger aircraft parts for years and this is a non-issue.
		Boeing believes that the pendulum has swung too far and the future of aviation between very large (but close) cities of five million or more would stabilize around the capacity level of the 787-3.

	Boeing Y1 Information
		The Y1 is also known as the 737RS (for "Replacement Study.")
		It will be an entirely new aircraft rather than a further 737 derivative and will use much of the systems, structural and design technology of the 787.
		Competition for the Y1 is projected to come from the Airbus NSR (for "New Short-Range aircraft.")

	Airliners.net Tech Ops: Unducted Fans Powering Boeing Y1 And Airbus NSR
		I expect Boeing to jump on Y1 just as soon as they can (provided the engines are available or will be) because they are now in a position to regain their dominance.
		A slight loss of speed for much better efficiency might be tolerated for the shorter range Y1 craft but I agree that with transcon flights there would be a desire to have higher speeds.
		By knocking that out from under them they are applying extreme pressure to Airbus, and if you say Boeing doesn't want to do that (in spite of all their kind words) I have such a deal for you on a bridge in Brooklyn.

	LeMay - March 1998
		As much as he enjoyed flying Boeing P-12 pursuit aircraft, LeMay decided that fighters were essentially defensive weapons and that any future wars would have to be won by offensive weapons.
		In 1937, he was assigned to the GHQ Air Force at Langley Field, Va., just as the first Boeing Y1-B17s were acquired by the 2d Bombardment Group.
		It was McNamara's penchant for quantification that led to the cancellation of the B-70 bomber and Skybolt missile.

		Major partners on the program are likely to have to contribute their own investment to reduce Boeing's development costs.
		Boeing spokesman Craig Martin said the internal announcement doesn't mean the 737 replacement program will launch any earlier than publicly stated by Mulally last year.
		To deliver in 2012, Boeing would have to launch the program soon after airlines take their first 787s in 2008.

	B-17 Flying Fortress history
		Project 299, as Boeing called it, got started on August 16, 1934, only eight days after the company had received the official government request for a prototype multi-engine bomber to be ready by August of the following year.
		The Boeing designers took advantage of the knowledge they had gained in building the civil transport Model 247 and in developing the Model 294 bomber.
		The first of these planes, the YB-17, took to the air on December 2, 1936, and the others were delivered for testing between March 1 and August 5, 1937, to the 2nd Bombardment Group.

		While one can understand Boeing's concern for protecting shareholder value, the nature of the service is advanced and therefore will probably take more time to work out.
		The talk is that Boeing needs 700 planes to breakeven and they are no where near that now.
		Recent articles indicate concern by some stock analysts that Boeing is being too aggressive in ramping up production– it has never produced more than 80 to 85 planes of any given model per year.

		Boeing 737 Aircraft, photo wallpapers; Megawallpapers.org : The Boeing 737 is the world's most popular medium range - narrow body commercial passenger jet aircraft.
		One exception is the 737-700, which is abbreviated as 73G, in order to avoid confusion with the model number itself.
		Original 737: The Original models are quickly heading for extinction owing to poorer fuel efficiency, high noise emissions (despite the vast majority having had their JT8Ds fitted with hush kits) and escalating maintenance costs - although a large number of -200s are still in operation with "second tier" airlines and those of developing countries.

		Looking at Boeings unfilled orders from the January this yr to present for the 767, they only have 4 orders (3 for LAN and 1 unidentified customer).
		Boeing seems to concentrate more on improving their products and designs, while A spends an awful lot of time and marketing $$ taking cheap shots at Boeing.
		But for truly awe inspiring tales of Boeing aircraft durability, just read some stories about B-17s surviving incredible damage during WWII and being able to return to their bases.

		After the loss of the Model 299, the Boeing Aircraft Co. was dropped from the Army Air Corps competition for a new bomber; however, the cause of the Model 299 crash was determined to be pilot error -- the pilot took off with the elevator lock still engaged.
		The Army leadership was convinced the aircraft had the potential to fill the long-range bomber requirement and ordered 13 service test aircraft (Boeing Model 299B) as Y1B-17 in 1936.
		The Y1 (instead of Y) indicates a funding source outside of the normal fiscal year procurement.

		It has been continuously manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes since 1967.
		This gave the 737 a critical advantage over the opposition - six abreast seating compared to the 1-11 and DC-9's five abreast layout, and also made the 737 cheaper and quicker to design.
		Production of the 717 will conclude in mid-2006, leaving the 737-600 as the only 100-passenger market aircraft offered by Boeing.
