Status

The Boeing 737 MAX 10 is the largest member of the 737 MAX family, designed to compete directly with the Airbus A321neo. It stretches the fuselage of the MAX 9 by approximately 1.7 metres, allowing it to carry up to 230 passengers in a single-class configuration, making it highly attractive to airlines seeking maximum seat capacity on high-density short-haul routes. Powered by CFM International LEAP-1B engines, the MAX 10 benefits from advanced aerodynamics, winglets, and fuel-efficient turbofan technology to deliver significant operating cost improvements over previous 737 generations. It incorporates a retractable main-gear truck tilt mechanism to accommodate the longer fuselage without requiring major landing gear redesign. The aircraft received FAA type certification in June 2023, clearing the way for deliveries after the grounding and recertification challenges that followed the wider 737 MAX crisis. United Airlines and Delta Air Lines are among the launch customers, with the type entering commercial service in 2023.
