Envisioned in 1964 as a complement to the slightly larger 727 trijet on shorthaul routes for small airports, the Boeing 737 went on to become the bestselling commercial aircraft of all time despite the fierce competition it faced throughout its halfcentury long service around the world. With demands for quieter and more fuelefficient aircraft arising in the 1980s, Boeing revamped its bestselling twinjet to its 2nd incarnation. Featured in this Aircraft Profile are information on the development history of the Classic generation, differences between the 300, 400, and 500 variants, and the production run of the Classics from 1984 to 2000.
