I flew for the first time in a Boeing 737 MAX 9 from Copa Airlines, In this installment I tell you what it is like to fly on this plane and the differences with the 737of.

We must start this installment by commenting that in case you don't know, Copa Airlines operates a fleet of 93 aircraft between airplanes Boeing 737-700, Boeing 737-800 and Boeing 737 MAX. Of all these, los Boeing 737 MAX are the newest and most modern operated by the main Panamanian airline and today we are going to get to know one of the 26 that they already have in their fleet.

After visiting Panama for a few days after arriving in direct flight from Manta, returning to Quito I was pleasantly surprised that the assigned plane would be a 737 MAX instead of the traditional 737-800, so that moment I started a Flight Report last moment, which I share with you in this video available on the YouTube channel:

flying in a 737 Cup MAX

In this post more than a flight report (that part is on YouTube), It is an analysis of the differences between the 800 and airline MAX, so that we can learn even more about the new aircraft Cup focused more than anything on the service and also partly on the technical.

Service and interior

The differences are many, from the outside that we are going to review, but inside the passenger cabin there are quite a few differences that make the experience for the passenger very different and superior.. Let's start with the Boeing Sky Interior, which is a new cabin design with distinctive lighting, Curved architecture and noise-reducing materials for a more comfortable flight, where the lighting changes according to each stage of the flight or service, Although this is also available in 737of, It is important to indicate that the MAX they also have it.

A big difference is in the Business area, where Cup has the Dream Business, which are their largest and most comfortable seats in their entire fleet. These recline 180 degrees and there is a completely reclined bed. I haven't been able to try them personally., but it will be for another opportunity.

Also, the MAX They have screens in each seat, but only up to the line 8 of the airplane. These touch screens that run Android have a wide range of movies, series, music and tracking screen.

Here comes another difference with the NG. The MAX has WiFi, but not to navigate, but for streaming the same content that you find on individual screens. You only connect to the plane's WiFi network and you will have the content on your mobile device. Don't forget to bring headphones.

Exterior

Well, Now it's time to check the outside of this plane., where the differences are perhaps most obvious, but they require a good eye to notice them.

For more detail, I made this post a while ago:

How to identify a Boeing 737 MAX?

Let's now also review more details.

The Boeing 737 MAX They are equipped with CFM International LEAP-1B engines, which are more fuel efficient and produce less noise. LEAP-1B engines also have a higher thrust capacity, which allows the 737 MAX carry more passengers and luggage.

In its physical part, these are totally round, while the NGs are "crushed" at the bottom of them.

Alas

The wings of Boeing 737 MAX They are larger and more efficient than the wings of the Boeing 737-800. Larger wings provide more lift, which allows Boeing 737 MAX fly at higher speeds and longer distances.

There are also notable differences in the winglets as we can see in the YouTube video.

Electronics

the boeing 737 MAX is equipped with an electronic flight system (EFIS) more advanced than the Boeing 737-800. Boeing's EFIS 737 MAX provides pilots with more accurate and detailed information, helping to improve safety and efficiency of operation along with LCD screens presenting new data and aids for operation.

Comparative table

Next, A comparative table is shown of the main differences between the Boeings 737 MAX and Boeing 737-800:

Feature	Boeing 737 MAX	Boeing 737-800
engines	CFM International LEAP-1B	CFM International CFM56-7B
Alas	Bigger and more efficient	Smaller and less efficient
Electronics	More advanced EFIS	less advanced EFIS
Length	42.2	39.5
Scope	3,850 nautical miles	3,115 nautical miles

Design and Dimensions

Boeing 737 MAX 9:

• Length: 42.2 meters

• Wingspan: 34.3 meters
• Maximum passenger capacity: about 189 passengers in a typical two-class configuration.

Performance

Boeing 737 MAX 9:

• maximum range: 3,850 nautical miles
• Fuel consumption reduced by approx. 14% compared to the 737-800.
• Greater fuel efficiency thanks to new technologies, including CFM International LEAP-1B engines and wing upgrades.

Boeing 737-800:

• maximum range: 3,115 nautical miles
• Efficient, but less than the MAX 9, in terms of fuel consumption.

The Boeing 737 MAX 9 from Copa Airlines offers superior performance in terms of range and fuel efficiency, which allows airlines to operate longer routes with economic savings.
