The Boeing 737-600, the smallest variant in Boeing's Next Generation 737 family, represented a commercial disappointment despite advanced engineering. First flown on January 22, 1998, it was a low-wing twin-engine narrow-body airliner powered by CFM56-7 turbofan engines and configured to carry 108 to 132 passengers. With only 69 aircraft produced during its ten-year manufacturing run, the 737-600 struggled against market competition despite being manufactured by The Boeing Company, one of aviation's leading aircraft producers.
