B-737-9 was a stretch too far
My opinion is the -9 or 900 was a stretch to far. The problem is the engineering of the main wheels. Cannot make them longer. Already fly fast approaches to keep from striking the tail. 1.3 VSO, no way.
I agree the 757 Max would be a big success. Great capable airplane. Just build it with 2 jumpseats for Christ sake.
