Boeing has given the go-ahead for the launch of its re-engined 737. If the rendered pics reveal anything it’s that the new version of the twinjet has the same sculpted nacelles as the 787 and that Boeing is dropping the 700/800/900 designation in favour of the -7/8/9 seen on the 747 and 787.

The new interior features soft, blue-sky lighting overhead and passengers will immediately sense a soft blue sky overhead, created with colored light emitting diode or LED ceiling lighting that enhances the sense of spaciousness.

The new design offers larger, pivoting overhead stowage bins that add to the openness of the cabin. The bins give more passengers room to store a carry-on roll-aboard near their own seat, adding both extra convenience and extra legroom.

Boeing redesigned reading-light switches so passengers can find them more easily and avoid accidentally pressing the flight-attendant call button.

Speakers are integrated into each row’s passenger-service unit to improve sound and clarity of public address operations, while the new integrated air vent and improved noise-dampening materials reduce overall cabin noise.

Boeing may decide to launch a replacement programme for the 737 before May 2009.

Scott Carson, Boeing Commercial Airplanes president, says the company will “likely” decide on a single-aisle replacement within 18 months. A final decision must be made by the company by 2012, he adds.

A Boeing spokeswoman confirms Carson’s remarks, which were reported in the French newspaper Le Monde.

The new timeline means Boeing could be seeking to advance the development schedule for the 737 replacement.

In the past, company officials have stated that technology to justify a 737 replacement would not become available until at least 2015.

Boeing Co. said Thursday its first 737-700ER passenger jet rolled out of a Renton, Wash., manufacturing facility earlier this week.

The airplane, which was completed Tuesday, will receive a painted livery and go through preflight testing before delivery to launch customer Japan’s All Nippon Airways, according to a Boeing release.

The "ER" in the designator refers to "extended range." The plane can fly as far as 5,510 nautical miles, which is up to 2,145 nautical miles farther than the current 737-700.

The airplane is designed for long-range commercial applications with a flexible cabin that may range from a 48-person, all-business-class, to a more traditional 126-seat count.

Boeing recently began final assembly of the first Next-Generation 737-700ER (Extended Range), one of the newest members of the worlds most successful single-aisle airplane family.
The wings, shown here, and landing gear are being joined to the 737-700ER fuselage in the Boeing manufacturing facility in Renton, WA.

Last-stage assembly and interiors installation will begin once the airplane joins the moving assembly line. All Nippon Airways (ANA) is to receive the airplane in early 2007.

Boeing launched the Next-Generation 737-700ER last January following an order conversion from ANA for two airplanes. According to the company, the 737-700ER has the longest range capability of any 737 family member in regular commercial service. The company says it’s able to serve new nonstop, point-to-point routes profitably.

In a release, Boeing says the 737-700ER was inspired by the Boeing Business Jet family. It features the fuselage of the 737-700 and the wings and landing gear of the larger 737-800.

Boeing claims it’s high-performance derivative can fly up to 2,145 nautical miles farther than the current 737-700. With up to nine optional auxiliary fuel tanks and optional blended winglets, the 737-700ER is capable of flying up to 5,510 nautical miles.

According to information on Boeing’s website, the 737-700 lists for $54 – $64 million each — the company doesn’t list a price for the -700ER derivative. The 737-900ER lists for $70 to $80 million each.
