Boeing
Late last year, Boeing rolled out the first completed 737 Max 8 airliner at its assembly facility in Renton, Washington. The company's next-generation single-aisle plane was presented at a ceremony in front of several thousand Boeing employees.
Over the years, the 737 family has become the best-selling airliner in the history of commercial aviation, with more than 13,000 aircraft sold since 1965. It is arguably Boeing's bread-and-butter model.
"Today marks another in a long series of milestones that our team has achieved on time, per plan, together," Boeing Vice President Keith Leverkuhn said in a statement. "With the rollout of the new 737 Max — the first new airplane of Boeing's second century — our team is upholding an incredible legacy while taking the 737 to the next level of performance."
Since its introduction in 1967, Boeing's 737 has helped revolutionize short- to medium-range air travel. Upon its debut, the original 737 was dubbed the "baby Boeing."
