737 Static Thrust (Read 463 times)

I seem to have aquired a shed load of 737's, ranging from the 200 series up to the 800. There's a massive variance of static thrust figures in different flight models. Even those of the same type! I have one 737-400 with 23,500 and a 737-500 with 29,950. That seems way too high. Anyone know the correct numbers?

The 737-500 has a engine rating of 18.500 or 82.3 kN
The 737-400 is rated somewhere around 22.000 (97.9kN)
I'm at work now so I don't have the exact figures, I might be wrong. Will double check later.

Oh Ian, we don't wanna go there Wink

I believe the 737-500 can be fitted with 2 different types of the CFM56-3, both with different thrust settings.
I think the 18.500 corresponds to the CFM56-3-B1R

According to CFM, their CFM56-3 series has a rating ranging from 18,500 – 23,500 pounds thrust.
So basically, the 737-500 can also have a thrust at 23.500, but NOT as high as philsymonds 737-500, which had a static thrust at 29.950

Well, the CFM56-7b series is only fitted on the Next Generation 737's.
The 7b-series has a better climb and cruise thrust performance than it's predecessors, which is needed since the NG's are heavier than earlier versions.

The 737-600 has to be the most overpowered Boeing aircraft ever.
