How much does a Boeing 737 weigh?

Answer 1

It depends.

There are several weights used by pilots and aeronautical engineers when it comes to aircraft design and operation. One of the most common classifications is "Empty Operating Weight" (EOW) which is an empty airplane without any fuel, passengers, or baggage. Another is Maximum Takeoff Weight, which is how heavy the airplane can safely be immediately before beginning takeoff roll and putting aerodynamic stresses on the airframe. That weight can be any combination of fuel, passengers, and/or cargo plus the airplane EOW.

The Boeing 737 has been produced since 1968 in nine variations, designated by a suffix -100, -200, -300, -400, -500, -600, -700, -800, and -900. In addition, Boeing has plans to build a more efficient variant of the B-737, the "Max" series which will include the MAX 7, MAX 8, and Max 9. They are similar in size and passenger configuration to the -700, -800, and -900 respectively and will replace them.
