LEAP-1B: 737 MAX vs Next-Generation 737

LEAP-1B: 69-inch fan

The LEAP-1B was specifically designed for the 737 MAX. It combines the reliability of the CFM56 engines, the fuel efficiency of the 787 GEnx technology and utilizes 787-inspired design techniques to improve aerodynamics.

CFM56-7: 61-inch fan

The CFM56-7BE engine enhancement program entered airline service in mid-2011 to coincide with the Boeing Next-Generation 737 airframe improvements.

Easy to Operate

Airlines ask for an airplane that fits smoothly in today's fleet

Because of the 737’s popularity with airlines everywhere around the world, integrating the new 737 MAX is an easy proposition. As you build your 737 MAX fleet, millions of dollars will be saved because of its commonality with the Next-Generation 737, ease of maintenance, wide availability of 737 pilots, and the global infrastructure that supports the aircraft in operation.

Advanced Technology Winglet Saves More Fuel

737 MAX winglets

The 737 MAX advanced technology winglets are the most efficient ever designed for a production airplane, because of the combination of advanced design and manufacturing techniques allowing for natural laminar flow. The winglets reduce fuel burn by approximately 2 percent.
