Boeing 737-500
The 737-500 is the shortest 737 Classic, certified by the FAA in February 1990. Boeing describes it as a shortened 737-300: at 101 ft 9 in it is only 19 inches longer than the original 737-200, but it keeps the Classic's larger 94 ft 9 in wing and its CFM56-3B1 engines. Boeing's two-class layout seats 108, and the European type certificate allows up to 140 passengers. With the heaviest option it takes off at 136,000 pounds, and it holds 20,102 liters of fuel without the auxiliary tanks some airlines fitted in the rear cargo hold. A few still fly in US airspace.
