Active All Over the World! The Best-Selling Passenger Plane, Boeing 737

Boeing 737 is a jet passenger plane made by the Boeing Company in the USA. It is one of the most produced planes in the world! Many airlines all over the world use it. In Japan, it flies through the sky every day carrying lots of people. Boeing 737 is great at flying short and medium distances. It is a super familiar plane that helps people go on trips and business travels.

A History of Progress and Different Models

Ever since Boeing 737 took its first flight in 1967, it has been built for over 50 years with new shapes and upgrades! Many series have appeared over time to bring in the newest technology.

• Original Series (-100, -200): The very first type. The engines were long and thin, so it looks a little different from today's Boeing 737.
• Classic Series (-300, -400, -500): This type appeared in the 1980s. Its engines got a bit bigger, and the bottoms became flat. It was super popular in Japan too!
• Next-Generation (NG) Series (-600 to -900): This type came out in the 1990s. The "-800" model became a huge best-seller all over the world! Many of them have wingtips that bend upward.
• MAX Series (MAX 7 to 10): This is the newest Boeing 737. It uses fuel very well. You can spot it by the bumpy, zigzag shape on the back of its engines!

Cool Features of Boeing 737

Here are some cool features of Boeing 737 that help you tell it apart from other planes!

• A Slightly Lower Body: The height from the ground to the cabin floor is a bit lower than other big planes. This smart idea makes it easy for people to get on and off using stairs, even at small airports without big equipment.
• Rice-Ball-Shaped Engines: From the second model (Classic Series) to the NG Series, the front of the engines look a bit flat on the bottom, just like a rice ball! Because the plane body is low, this shape keeps the engines from hitting the ground.
• Cool Cockpit Windows: The outermost cockpit windows at the very front have a unique shape with raised corners. Airplane experts can tell it is a Boeing 737 just by looking at these windows!

How to Choose Colors

When you color your Boeing 737 coloring page, you can copy a real airline or create your very own airplane!

• Body Color: Real airplanes are often mostly white to bounce off the sunlight. Try drawing blue or red lines to match the design of your favorite airline.
• Wings and Engines: The main wings, tail wing, and engines show off an airline's style best. Coloring just the engines in bright yellow or yellow-green makes a cool accent!
• Coloring the Windows: If you color the long row of passenger windows and the cockpit windows in light blue or gray, they will look like real clear glass.

Make It Look Like It's Flying!

Use special coloring tricks to show your airplane flying strong through the big sky.

• Making It Look 3D: If you add a light gray shadow to the bottom of the round body, it will look 3D just like a real plane. Imagine the sun shining from above!
• Powerful Engines: Color deep inside the front of the engines with black or dark gray. It will look powerful, like the engines are ready to zoom off!

Try Different Backgrounds

Changing the background changes your airplane's story. Draw a blue sky with fluffy white clouds to show a smooth flight, or an orange sunset sky to show the end of a trip. You can even draw a runway on the ground to show the exact moment of takeoff!

Tips for Having Fun!

Create your very own airline—the only one in the world! Add colorful polka dots or draw your favorite animals on the body to make the most fun Boeing 737 ever!

Watch out for the ground! The secret of the "rice ball" engine

If you look at the Boeing 737 (Classic and NG series) from the front, the engines are not round! They are flat on the bottom, just like a "rice ball". This airplane was built low to the ground. If it had normal round engines, they might hit the ground! So, the designers changed how the parts inside are placed. By making the bottom flat, they made sure it can fly safely.

Why the wingtips bend upward

Many Boeing 737 wings have little tips that bend upward. These are called "winglets." They are not just to make the plane look cool! They help make the swirls of air at the end of the wings smaller when flying. Thanks to this, there is less air resistance. This lets the plane fly farther with less fuel!

The newest Boeing 737 has jagged engine edges

The newest type, called the "737 MAX," has a "jagged, wavy shape" at the back of its engines. This special shape makes the engine quieter! It softens the noise when hot air from the engine mixes with the cool air outside. Thanks to these jagged edges, it became a very quiet airplane that is kind to both the towns below and the people on board.

Built low to make loading luggage easy

The Boeing 737 sits much lower to the ground than other big airplanes. This is a smart design made to help out at small airports around the world. Even without big cranes or special vehicles, people can easily load bags and fix the plane using simple tools and their own hands!
