Inside The $150 Million Boeing 737 Max 10 Plane
0:00 - Intro
This is the Boeing 737 Max 10, a plane that has set new benchmarks in the realm of medium-haul commercial aviation. Stay with us till the end of the video because here is everything you need to know about the Boeing 737 Max 10.
1:26 - Cabin
Starting off with the cabin dimensions, the Max 10 offers a cabin width of 11 feet 7 inches or 3.53 meters. The typical two-class configuration allows for a seating capacity of 188 to 204 passengers, with a six-abreast setup in a 3-3 configuration. The aisle width sits at about 20 inches or 50 centimeters.
Boeing has opted for advanced carbon composite materials, and LED mood lighting is standard. Specifically, Boeing’s ‘Space Bins’ can hold up to 50% more than standard pivot bins, accommodating six standard-size bags.
The noise-reducing chevrons on the engine nacelles, and the use of acoustic lining in the cabin sidewalls, contribute to a quieter travel experience compared to predecessors.
For the tech-savvy traveler, the in-flight entertainment and connectivity options are quite expansive. Most configurations offer seat-back entertainment screens measuring 10 inches, equipped with USB ports and a fairly responsive user interface. In-flight Wi-Fi is typically available.
The cabin pressurization system maintains a cabin altitude of 6,500 feet or 2,000 meters. Moreover, the air circulation is aided by HEPA filters that significantly improve air quality.
As for the seats themselves, they come with a pitch ranging from 31 to 35 inches or 78 to 88 centimeters in economy class.
The windows measure approximately 11 by 14 inches or 28 by 35 centimeters.
The galley is generally well-equipped, adhering to industry standards. There are typically two lavatories on board; although functional, they are on the smaller side, measuring around 34 by 77 inches or 85 by 195 centimeters.
4:34 - Cockpit
The cockpit layout of the 737 Max 10 follows the fundamental architecture of the 737 family but incorporates advanced features. Spaciously designed for a two-pilot operation, the cockpit has a width of 8 feet 9 inches or 2.67 meters and a height of 6 feet 5 inches or 1.95 meters.
The avionics suite is powered by the Honeywell Epic system, which includes multiple LCD screens that measure 15.1 inches diagonally, each providing high-resolution displays with LED backlighting.
One of the standout features is the enhanced Flight Management System, which offers advanced navigation capabilities, including Required Navigation Performance and Area Navigation, that allow for more efficient and flexible routing.
The cockpit also features a Synthetic Vision System, which provides a 3D depiction of the terrain, runways, and obstacles. When linked with the Traffic Collision Avoidance System, it also displays surrounding traffic in real-time.
The Max 10 retains a traditional yoke control system, unlike Airbus models which employ a sidestick. However, it incorporates a partial fly-by-wire system that electronically controls spoilers and certain other surfaces.
The advanced autopilot system supports various modes including Vertical Navigation, Lateral Navigation, and Coupled Go-Around. Additionally, the autothrottle is refined to manage engine power more efficiently, adapting to various phases of flight from takeoff to landing.
For communications, the cockpit is equipped with state-of-the-art VHF radios, satellite communications, and Controller Pilot Data Link Communications.
Another compelling feature is the onboard diagnostic system, capable of real-time fault detection and reporting.
