MY FAVORITE PLANE

BOEING 737 

My favourite aircraft has always been the Boeing 737, the quintessential Boeing model.
It has beautiful aesthetics, perfect lines like an eagle.

The last model B737 Max was defective and this made me very sad. 
Instead of redesigning the plane, they decided to add software that would avoid the problem and because they wanted to save money, they lost innocent lives and world confidence. 
Is a short to medium range, twin-engine, jet, narrow-body airliner manufactured and developed by the American company Boeing Commercial Airplanes.

The Boeing 737 is the highest selling turbofan passenger aircraft in aviation history. This model has been manufactured without interruption by Boeing since 1967.
It is the most widely used model on domestic flights in the United States.

The Boeing 737-100 was christened on 17 January 1967 and made its first flight on 9 April of the same year. 
Lufthansa inaugurated its services with this aircraft on February 10, 1968


Initially, sales were poor and by 1972 the company had only delivered 14 units. It was even considered selling the program to a Japanese company, but ultimately Boeing decided to keep it and invest in it.
In the late 1970s, the 737 began to be sold, partly thanks to the deregulation of 1978. The deregulation of 1978

In November 1993, Boeing announced the development of the third group of series, known as Next Generation. This included a new, improved and enlarged wing, higher cruising speeds, longer ranges, more economical maintenance and improved avionics

The Boeing 737 is the aircraft with the most accidents in history, but that is because it is the best-selling commercial aircraft in history. As of October 2015, there have been a total of 368 aviation accidents and incidents involving all 737 models, including 184 total loss accidents resulting in a total of 4,862 deaths. The 737s have also been involved in 111 hijackings, with 325 deaths.

ENGINE

Engines on the 737 Classic series (300.400.500) and Next-Generation series (600.700.800) do not have circular inlets like most aircraft. The 737 Classic series featured CFM53 turbofan engines

JET ENGINE

TURBOJET The basic componets are still the compressor, combustor, and turbine. The turbojet gets its propulsive power from reaction to the flow of hot gases. Air enters the inlet and ts pressure is increased by the compressor. Fuel is added in the combustor and the expansion created by heat forces the turbine wheel to rotate. The turbine in turn drives the compressor. The energy remaining downstream of the turbine in the tailpipe accelerates into the atmosphere and creates the reaction we refer to as thrust. TURBOFAN The turbofa, in effect, is a ducted, multi-blade propeller driven by a gas turbine engine. This fan procedures a pressure ratio on the order of 2:1 or two atmospheres of compression. Generrally, turbofan contain 20 to 40 fixed pitch blades. They were developed to provide a compromise between the best features of the turbejet type cruise speed capability and yet retains some of the short field takeoff capability of the  turboprop.

D-CHECK

Aircraft maintenance   checks are periodic inspections that have to be done on all commercial and civil aircraft after a certain amount of time or usage. Military aircraft normally follow specific maintenance programmes which may, or may not, be similar to those of commercial and civil operators The D check, sometimes known as a "heavy maintenance visit" (HMV), is by far the most comprehensive and demanding check for an airplane. This check occurs approximately every 6-10 years. It is a check that more or less takes the entire airplane apart for inspection and overhaul. Even the paint may need to be completely removed for complete inspection of the fuselage metal skin. Such a check can generally take up to 50,000 man-hours, and 2 months to complete depending on the number of technicians involved. It also requires the most space of all maintenance checks, and as such must be performed at a suitable maintenance base. The requirements and the tremendous effort involved in
