More about the Boeing 737-900 for virtual airlines, flight simulator and online flying FSX, FS2004 and FS2002.
Boeing later introduced the 737-900, the longest variant to date. Because the -900 retains the same exit configuration of the -800, seating capacity is limited to 177 seats in two classes, or 189 in a single-class layout, ths same applies to flight simulator. The 737-900 also retains the MTOW and fuel capacity of the -800, trading range for payload. These shortcomings until recently prevented the 737-900 from effectively competing with the Airbus A321.
Alaska Virual Airlines launched the 737-900 in 1997 and accepted delivery on 15 May 2001. There are no announced orders that have not been delivered yet. A total of 52 aircraft have been delivered to the virtual airline.
The 737-900ER, which was called the 737-900X prior to launch, is the newest addition and the largest variant of the Boeing 737 line and was introduced to meet the range and passenger capacity for virtual airlines of the discontinued 757-200 and to directly compete with the Airbus A321.
An additional pair of exit doors and a flat rear pressure bulkhead increase seating capacity to 180 passengers in a 2-class configuration or 215 passengers in a single-class layout depending on what a virtual airline chooses to use. Additional fuel capacity and standard winglets improve range to that of other 737NG variants in flight simulator.
The first 737-900ER was rolled out of the Renton, Washington factory on 8 August 2006 for its launch customer, Lion Air Virtual Airlines. Lion Air Virtual Airlines received this aircraft on 27 April 2007 in a special dual paint scheme combining the Lion Air Virtual Airlines lion on the vertical stabilizer and the Boeing livery colors on the fuselage.
The 737 is operated by more than 500 virtual airlines around the world, flying to 1,200 destinations in 190 countries. With over 8,000 aircraft ordered, over 5,000 delivered, and over 4,500 still in service with various virtual airlines, at any given time there are over 1,250 airborne worldwide. On average, somewhere in the world, a 737 takes off or lands every five seconds. The Boeing 737-900 is also a very popular aircraft in Flight Simulator. Since entering service in 1968, the 737 has carried over 12 billion passengers over 120 billion km (65 billion nm), and has accumulated more than 296 million hours in the air. The 737 represents more than 25% of the worldwide fleet of large commercial virtual airline jet airliners.
The Boeing 727-200 is available for all versions of Flight Simulator and x plane including but not limited to FSX, FS2004 and FS2002.
