OSHKOSH, Wis. — Boeing today released the

2016 737 MAX Flight Demonstration video at EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

The video highlights the MAX’s handling characteristics, short field

takeoff capability and high-banking turns.

The video was captured in Moses Lake as Capts. Mike Bryan,

Greg McCann and Chris Dobb, Boeing test pilots, practiced the flight

demonstration performed at the Farnborough International Airshow

earlier this month.

The 737 MAX incorporates the latest technology CFM International

LEAP-1B engines, Advanced Technology winglets and other improvements

to deliver what the company says is the highest efficiency, reliability and passenger comfort

in the single-aisle market.

Boeing says the new single-aisle airplane will deliver 20 percent lower fuel use

than the first Next-Generation 737s and the lowest operating costs in

its class — 8 percent per seat less than its nearest competitor. To

date, Boeing reports the 737 MAX has accumulated 3,266 orders from 68 customers.
