Boeing Business Jets Thinks Big with BBJ Max

Boeing Business Jets gave more details about its line of fuel-efficient and longer-range BBJ Max single-aisle bizliners today at the NBAA Convention. Looking forward, the new BBJ Max 8 and BBJ Max 9 are designed to replace the current BBJ2 and BBJ3, respectively, and feature significant range improvements, thanks mostly to new CFM Leap engines and advanced winglet technology.

The Max 8 will see a 14.6-percent range improvement and the Max 9 should post a 16.2-percent range jump over current aircraft. The first BBJ Max will be delivered in 2018, and testing is already under way on the “Boeing Advanced Winglet,” a new design being developed by Boeing for the Max.
