The Boeing 737 MAX 7, the shortest variant of Boeing's fourth-generation 737 family, represents the manufacturer's response to demand for ultra-efficient narrow-body aircraft on high-frequency routes. First flown on March 16, 2018, it is a low-wing twin-engine airliner designed to seat 138-172 passengers with two CFM International LEAP-1B turbofan engines. Measuring approximately 35.6 meters in length with a 35.9-meter wingspan, the aircraft promises 13-14% fuel efficiency improvements over its predecessor. Boeing Commercial Airplanes developed the MAX 7 as part of the 737 MAX program announced in August 2011.
