will feature a 173cm (68in) fan on its CFM International Leap-1B engines.

Boeing has definitively frozen the length of the fuselage and the door configuration, maintaining the dimensions found on today's 737-700, -800 and -900ER

nose gear extension would add 15-20cm (6-8in),

Conceptually, the 737 Max's hydraulic system redundancy will be based on a scaled-down version of the larger 757, which can be simplified by only applying fly-by-wire to the spoilers

reshaped tail cone to clean up aerodynamic performance, widespread structural strengthening, a new nacelle and pylon for the Leap-1B, and fuel, pneumatic systems and updated engine software.

many key attributes of the Max are still undefined, including the configuration of the engine's "custom core", wingtip devices, thrusts and weights based on customer requirements, which he said will be established "later next year."

The Leap-1B's "custom core", which will anchor an 11-12% improvement in fuel burn and 7% operating cost improvement on the aircraft,
