First flying after 2016, the Boeing 737 Max line is the fourth-generation offshoot of the successful 737 design. Improvements were made to increase the efficiency, range, and performance to compete with designs such as the Airbus A320. First to be created of the new line, the MAX 8 is intended to replace the 737-800 in active service. Compared to its predecessor, it has new split wingtips for increased efficiency and an extended fuselage, allowing for up to 210 passengers. Cruising speed is 521mph, with an official range of 4,000 miles and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft. The aircraft is propelled by two CFM Leap-1B engines, producing 29,000 lbs. of thrust each and allowing the aircraft to have a maximum takeoff weight of 182,200 lbs. All the airframe improvements add up to a 14% lower airframe maintenance cost and 20% fuel savings, while being 50% quieter in flight.
