What does the airplane model B737-300 mean?

The basic model of Boeing 737 is B737- 100.

There are five traditional B737: 100/200/300/400/500. At present, the traditional B737 has been discontinued. It is officially announced that the traditional Boeing 737*** has produced 3 132 aircraft.

1993165438+1October, the new generation Boeing 737 project was officially launched (that is, we usually say 737NG). The new generation Boeing 737 is divided into four models: 600/700/800/900. It has won the favor of the market with its excellent technology and is called the fastest-selling civil airliner.

There are many places where the new generation 737 and the old generation 737 can be quickly identified. For example, the vertical tail of the new generation 737 is wider and higher than that of the traditional 737; The shape of the engine tail nozzle and so on!

Boeing determines the specific model according to different customers. Air China is J6, so all the planes that Air China buys are J6, such as B777-2J6, B747-2J6, B767-2J6 (ER), B767-3J6 and B737-3J6. However, several planes were not bought by Air China, but rented, so the specific model is the lessor's number. For example, 6N of B737-36N belongs to GECA (an aircraft leasing company). I don't know who 3A is yet. If Q8 is ILFC (also a famous aircraft leasing company), Air China's new lease is B767-3Q8(ER).
