The Boeing 737-900, the longest variant in the successful 737 Next Generation family, served as Boeing's answer to the Airbus A321 in the high-capacity narrowbody market. First flown on August 3, 1999, it was a low-wing twin-engine monoplane powered by CFM56-7B turbofans that could seat 177-189 passengers. Stretching 138 feet 4 inches with a 117-foot 5-inch wingspan, only 52 examples were manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes before production ended in 2020.
