Its growing list of capabilities include handling troop and cargo transport, as well as military and civilian rescue and evacuation. Today, it has worldwide presence, including having served in Iraq and Afghanistan. For the Marines, the Osprey has become their go-to aircraft. “It does whatever the Marine Corps wants it to do,” said one crew chief at Marine Corps Air Station New River, North Carolina, where Frontiers recently visited.

The airplanes also can be used as poster art. 30 Expansion and opportunity As defined by Boeing International, Southeast Asia includes 10 nations—and Boeing has customers in eight, with its regional business centered in small but economically important Singapore.

Besides giving the airplanes a distinctive appear- ance, the winglets create more efficient flight characteristics in cruise and during takeoff and climbout, which translate into additional range with the same fuel and payload.

The winglets increase the spread of the vortices along the TE, creating more lift at the wingtips (figs. 2 and 3). The result is a reduction in induced drag (fig. 4). The maximum benefit of the induced drag reduction depends on the spanwise lift distribution on the wing. Theoretically, for a planar wing, induced drag is opti- mized with an elliptical lift distribution that minimizes the change in vorticity along the span. For the same amount of structural material, nonplanar wingtip 737-800 TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS devices can achieve a similar induced drag benefit as a planar span increase; however, new Boeing airplane designs Passengers focus on minimizing induced drag with 3-class configuration Not applicable The 737-800 commercial airplane wingspan influenced by additional 2-class configuration 162 is one of four 737s introduced BBJ TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS The Boeing Business Jet design benefits. 1-class configuration 189 in the late 1990s for short- to (BBJ) was launched in 1996 On derivative airplanes, performance Cargo 1,555 ft3 (44 m3) medium-range commercial air- Passengers Not applicable as a joint venture between can be improved by using wingtip Boeing and General Electric.
