Boeing Business Jets has unveiled
details of the BBJ MAX 7, the newest addition to the BBJ fleet.
The BBJ MAX 7 has a range of up to 7,000
nautical miles and is longer than the original BBJ, providing more
space in the cabin while also creating additional volume for cargo
in the lower lobe.
Because of its new, more fuel-efficient LEAP-1B
engines, the BBJ MAX 7 has reduced fuel burn and emissions and
requires less cargo volume be reserved for auxiliary fuel tanks,
regardless of mission length.
“We are thrilled to introduce
the BBJ MAX 7 to the market,” said David Longridge, president,
Boeing Business Jets. “We know customers are going to love this
airplane. In terms of range, cabin space, cargo volume and
operating economics, the BBJ MAX 7 cannot be beat.”
The BBJ
MAX 7 inherits all of the features of the already launched BBJ MAX
8 and BBJ MAX 9, including an updated flight deck, improved
aerodynamics, reduced noise profile, and fly-by-wire spoilers.
Despite being larger and more capable than the current BBJ, the
new MAX 7 has the lowest operating costs of any Boeing Business
Jets aircraft.
“We are in active discussions with more than ten
customers for the BBJ MAX 7 and we are just getting started,” said
Longridge. “We are very confident that the BBJ MAX 7 will be a
very successful business jet and we are excited to introduce the
airplane to our customers.”
