> The biggest thing that will change are the handling characteristics since they won't have to match that of a previous aircraft. I'd expect the handling characteristics to be pretty similar to the 737. The biggest change will be to raise the whole aircraft a few more feet off the ground (i.e. taller landing gear), which will let the plane use large-diameter high-bypass turbofans. The short landing gear on the 737 was the root of the chain that led to the whole MCAS fiasco.
