AIRCRAFT MODEL : Boeing 737-200

TYPE : Twin Jet Commercial Transport

MANUFACTURER : BOEING COMMERCIAL AIRPLANE GROUP

HISTORY:

The Danish company, Maersk Air was the first company to use the 737-200 advanced, due to the very

short runway and difficult approch to Vagar airport at the Faraeo islands.

Maersk Air received its first 737-200 adv. the 10. of december 1976.

The 737-100 and 200 are the first generation production models of the world's most successful

jet airliner family.

The 737 was conceived as a short range small capacity airliner to round out the Boeing jet

airliner family beneath the 727, 720 and 707. Announced in February 1965, the 737 was

originally envisioned as a 60 to 85 seater, although following consultation with launch

customer Lufthansa, a 100 seat design was settled upon. Design features included two underwing

mounted turbofans and 60% structural and systems commonality with the 727, including the same

fuselage cross section.

The 737-100 made its first flight on April 9 1967 and entered service in February 1968. By

this time however development of the larger capacity 1.93m (6ft 4in) stretched 737-200 was

well advanced, and the first 737-200 flew for the first time on August 8 1967. Developments

of the 200 include the 200C convertible and quick change 200QC, while an unprepared airfield

kit was also offered.

The definitive Advanced 737-200 appeared in 1971, featuring minor aerodynamic refinements and

other improvements.

Sales of the 737-200 far exceeded that of the shorter 100 and the 737-200 remained in

production until 1988, by which time it had been superseded by the improved 737-300.
