I think it's all about how far off the mean you are.
Consider cars: You can get most full-size sedans with either four or six cyliner engines, manual or automatic transmission, and regular or sporty suspensions. That's potentially eight different sets of handling characteristics. But they're all going to be in a fairly narrow cluster of "this still drives pretty much like a Camry." When you decide "instead of the six-cyliner engine, let's drop in a 700 horsepower turbocharged V8", it's no longer anywhere near that cluster.
- avar 7y agoThe question is whether a Camry with that V8 engine is as different from the less powerful of a Camry variant as it is from a Ford F-150. That's what the type rating is about. The 737-100 had 62 kN of thrust, the 737 600-900 up to 120 kN[1], that whole line (and beyond) shares the same type rating. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_737#Specifications https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_737#Specifications
