Boeing Business Jets unveiled the BBJ MAX 7, the newest addition to the BBJ fleet at NBAA 2016 in Orlando.The BBJ MAX 7 has a range of up to 7,000 nautical miles, opening up key city pairs between Asia, the Middle East and the United States.
The BBJ MAX 7 fuselage is longer than the original BBJ by 2 m, providing more space in the cabin while also creating additional volume for cargo in the lower lobe.
Major changes from BBJ include the lengthened nose landing gear, MAX 8 wing featuring Advanced Technology winglet and fly-by-wire spoilers, aft body aerodynamic improvements include new APU inlet with retractable door.
Because of its new, more fuel-efficient CFM LEAP-1B engines, the BBJ MAX 7 has reduced fuel burn and emissions and requires less cargo volume be reserved for auxiliary fuel tanks, regardless of mission length.
The BBJ MAX 7 inherits all of the features of the already launched BBJ MAX 8 and BBJ MAX 9, including an updated flight deck, improved aerodynamics, reduced noise profile, and fly-by-wire spoilers. Despite being larger and more capable than the current BBJ, the new MAX 7 has the lowest operating costs of any Boeing Business Jets aircraft.
Boeing Business Jets has 11 BBJ MAX 8s on order, one BBJ MAX 9 and has already seen strong interest in the BBJ MAX 7.
