ARCHITECTURE / SYSTEMS
Four 15-inch displays replace the previous generation’s screen arrangement. Boeing highlights integrated navigation and electronic flight bag connectivity, depending on the installed configuration.
Boeing — 737 MAX By Design flight deck ↗MAX design changes include fly-by-wire spoiler control. This specific feature should not be interpreted as describing all primary flight controls as fully fly-by-wire.
Boeing — MAX 8 technical configuration ↗The LEAP-1B was developed for the 737 MAX family. Advanced Technology winglets and aerodynamic changes complement the evolution of the propulsion system.
Boeing — MAX 8 technical configuration ↗The FAA technical review describes alerts through lights, displays, voice messages, aural signals and stick shaker. Alert presentation logic is a relevant aspect of studying the 737 flight deck.
