Boeing is one of the largest aerospace companies in the world, known for designing and manufacturing airplanes, helicopters, rockets, satellites, and telecommunications equipment. Founded in 1916 by William Boeing in Seattle, Washington, the company has had a significant impact on the aviation industry and has contributed to advancements in technology and transportation. One of Boeing’s most important contributions is its commercial aircraft. The Boeing 747, first flown in 1969, revolutionized air travel by making it more accessible to the general public. Known as the “Jumbo Jet,” the 747 allowed airlines to transport more passengers over longer distances at a lower cost. This innovation opened up international travel to many people who had never flown before. In recent years, Boeing has continued to innovate with aircraft like the 787 Dreamliner, which features advanced materials and fuel-efficient engines, reflecting a growing trend toward sustainability in aviation. Also in infinite flight there is a huge Boeing fleet that has many liveries to choose from. Since the addition of the B737 max 8 we now have a good Boeing group. This event will have every Boeing aircraft that is in the sim and will go from KBFI (Boeing Field) to Portland Oregon (PDX) there is a whole selection of aircraft the Boeing has from a 737-700 to the 777. Take your pick and join us as we fly down to Portland Oregon. Specific information is down below. Have a great time.

Boeing 737-700
737-700 Info
The smallest of the family present in Infinite Flight but the most versatile. The -700 is an aircraft that can suit almost all your needs.
Specifics
- Aircraft Range: 6,370 kilometres or 3,300 nautical miles
- Fuel Capacity 37,830 kg or 15:13 hours of flight time
- Max Thrust Produced 100% power 20,600 pounds of thrust
- Operating Ceiling 41,000 feet or 12.5 kilometres
- Cruising Speed Mach 0.78 or 590 mph
- Max Takeoff Weight 70,080 kg
- Max Landing Weight 58,604 kg
- Max Seating Capacity 126 in a 2 class layout or 149 in a 1 class layout.
Taxi Performance
The Boeing 737-700 is a great taxi it does not randomly speed up and is a great and responsive plane.
To start of no more than 30% N1 should be used to get moving.
Typical taxi speed is around 15-20-25 Ground speed, not Airspeed!
Make sure you taxi at a reasonable speed and not at 34 GS otherwise if you want to turn you won’t have time to slow down and pull a tight turn.
That leads us into the next part turns. For a turn of 90 degrees no more than 10 knots GS must be used to turn otherwise the 1 wing will dip into the ground.
If you are using a high-speed exit at a runway you may go quicker but slow down once you reach a 90-degree turn or if you near any terminals or other players.
Takeoff performance
NOTE: These metrics were taken on Solo mode with the following.
No winds 0 knots
Maximum Visibility
10% Load Factor: 5’ or 1’ Flaps, 5% Trim and 70% Power - Rotation Speed: 110 Knots
20% Load Factor: 5 Flaps, 7% Trim and 75% Power - Rotation Speed: 120 Knots
30% Load Factor: 5’ Flaps, 7% Trim and 75% Power - Rotation Speed: 130 Knots
40% Load Factor: 10’ Flaps, 7% Trim and 80% Power - Rotation Speed: 130 Knots
50% Load Factor: 15’ Flaps, 7% Trim and 85% Power - Rotation Speed: 140 Knots
60% Load Factor: 15’ Flaps, 7% Trim and 85% Power - Rotation Speed: 150 Knots
70% Load Factor: 15’ Flaps, 7% Trim and 85% Power - Rotation Speed: 150 Knots
80% Load Factor: 15’ Flaps, 7% Trim and 85% Power - Rotation Speed: 160 Knots
90% Load Factor: 15’ Flaps, 7% Trim and 85% Power - Rotation Speed: 160 Knots
100% Load Factor: 15’ Flaps, 7% Trim and 85% Power - Rotation Speed: 170 Knots
Climb Performance
Most times you will climb at a normal V/S of 2200 up until 10,000 Feet.
Once at 10,000 Feet reduce that to 1800V/S and increase speed up to 293
Passing through 28,000 feet lower the V/S to 1000V/S until cruising altitude
The speed will now show Mach 0.78 which is perfectly normal as that is the cruising speed of a Boeing 737-700 aircraft
With an aircraft around this weight, it is advisable to climb to an ALT of around 32,000 to 36,000 Feet to ensure a safe flight.
NOTE: This is with a capacity of 70% for a capacity of 71% and above here is the following
Climb at 2000 V/S until 10,000 feet once passing through 10,000 feet lower that to 1600V/S
Passing through 10,000 feet speed up to 293 knots
At 28,000 Feet the speed will show Mach 0.78 which is the cruising speed of a 737-700
Passing through 28,000 Feet decrease that again to 800 V/S.
NOTE: With an aircraft, this heavy it is recommended to climb to around 30,000 to 32,000 feet to ensure you maintain a safe speed and do not stall out at higher altitudes where the air is thinner.
Cruise Performance
During the cruise the plane will act normally if treated and managed well here is what you should monitor.
Monitor Winds make sure it is not so severe if it is then climb to an altitude higher or lower try around 2,000 feet lower or higher if those don’t work then find the appropriate altitude.
Monitor Speed this is also with winds but if the speed is too high you can Overspeed and get a violation which no one wants.
In general make sure the plane is stable, safe and at cruising speed.
Approach Performance
With 20.1 Infinite Flight introduced VNAV a vertical navigation system that handles the descent through a series of waypoints that have altitudes assigned to them.
That saves up this whole section.
BUT Ensure you monitor speed! VNAV does not handle speed and if you go too fast you will descend too quick, miss waypoints or even get a violation. So do not leave your device whilst using VNAV to descend.
Landing Performance
You have now reached 3,000 feet and are on finals into an airport how do you know what speeds to land your plane at? Well, here they are!
10% Load Factor: 25’ Flaps, 5% Trim - Final approach speed 120 knots.
20% Load Factor: 25’ Flaps, 7% Trim - Final approach speed 120 knots.
30% Load Factor: 40’ Flaps, 7% Trim - Final approach speed 125 knots.
40% Load Factor: 40’ Flaps, 7% Trim - Final approach speed 130 knots
50% Load Factor: 40’ Flaps, 7% Trim - Final approach speed 140 knots
As you can see I am not including 51% and above landing speeds as it is not advisable to land at that weight. Also, it heads into MLW which you want to be at least 20% away from to ensure a stable and safe landing
That is all for the Boeing 737-700!

Fuel Flow
Fuel Flow
The fuel flow of the Boeing 737 family is as follows
According to USAtoday
A 737 burns around 5,000 pounds per hour
Here is the Fuel Burn for each aircraft.
Boeing 737-700 = 2,468 kg’s
Boeing 737-800 = 2,468 kg’s
Boeing 737-900 = 2,468 kg’s
NOTE: Those metrics were taken from Infinite Flight so they won’t be different when you load into IF and fly.
General Notes
General Notes
- The 737 is not slippery from my experience it is an amazing aircraft to fly
- It performs well and responds quickly
- Handles turbulence well
- NOT a butter aircraft! Do not expect butters all day long from the 737 family as they are not designed for that
- Lastly the 737 Family is powerful they have great engines for their class and can accelerate quickly
