I thought a 737 was a specific model of plane, no? Wouldn't this be a completely different model? Can someone explain what makes a 737 a 737 and why you would still call something with as much change as this a 737 still?
- rbanffy 16y agoTwo ideas: they are using 737 as synonymous with small-to-midsize passenger jet. They could as well use Airbus 318/319/320, but Boeing wouldn't like it. They are implying this will be a commercial hit of the same size as the 737, so it's worth of government funding (because if they don't develop it, Airbus will).
