think a BBJ 737 can make it across the atlantic?

Question

from New york city to Ireland or England,think a BBJ 737 can make it? and how far is it across the atlantic ocean?

Answer 1

Yes it can and we have booked trips like this one with clients. It is 3442 miles from New York to England and you can get distance and flight time estimates using boeing winds on our Web site at: http://www.jets.com/CAEstimate.aspx

Answer 2

Greenfeen185 is ALL moist - the 737 can and does fly around the atlantic AND the pacific - How do you think they get their in the 1st place ? Ever fly Hawaiin Air - 737-two hundred - beaters at that ! Greenfee185 suggested " No they won't be able to, the 900, and 700ER have transatlantic variety, in spite of the undeniable fact that, they won't be able to hold out warm and extreme operations, so the wings will exhaust and the wings could stall attempting to maintian point flight altitude. Plus as with maximum/all narrowbodies (different than the 757), their engines are efficient sufficient to get them by using, and cary an further thousand kilos or so. consequently the engines are no longer efficient sufficient to steer clear of a stall the two. it is why airlines use 757's or widebodies to flow the atlantic, the 757 replaced into designed for warm and extreme operations. " is basically FREEKIN NUTS - what's HE speaking approximately? the reason that the 737 - a 1960's layout remains advertising and BACKLOGGED at Boeing IS because of the fact it FLIES larger, speedier and LONGER than AIRBUS's A320 - this is because of the better aerodynamics & the reality that the 737 is 2000lbs lighter than the A320. The enterprise jet version of the 737 can fly at 40 3,000 ft - is that top sufficient for Greenfeen185 ?

Answer 3

The BBJ 737 can make it without problem. That is because a lot of seats have been taken out and there are not as many passengers. Usually wide body aircraft are used for flights across the Atlantic because the airlines want to fill as many seats as possible. A flight from NY to either Ireland or England is about 4000 miles.

Answer 4

I work for an airline, and we just sent a 737-800 from Minneapolis, MN to Amsterdam. If made the entire flight without refueling. There was maybe 25 people on board including the crew. Going from west to east over the Atlantic, there is a tailwind to help fuel efficiency. If our jet could make it, the BBJ 737 would make it from NYC to London with fuel to spare. Going in the reverse direction, they encounter a headwind, reducing fuel efficiency. Thus, on the way back we have to stop in Newfoundland to fuel. I assume the BBJ 737 could make it back from London to NYC without refueling, depending on the configuration of the aircraft.

Answer 5

The BBJ has the ability to cary extra fuel tanks where other 737 would have cargo compartment, so this already increases the range. Also keep in mind that being a bussines jet, it is focused on comfort rather then max payload, so less people on board, and less cargo, means less weight. These factors increase the range even more.
From New York, the BBJ is capable of reaching any country in Europe. It can even reach brazil or hawai from new york.
The distance from New york to London is 3470 miles (5585 km) (3016 nautical miles).

Answer 6

Absolutely a BBJ can make it across the Atlantic and this is without additional fuel tanks that one of the answerers above mentions.

There are many corporate jets, such as Gulfstream, Falcon, etc. that can make it across the atlantic. In fact, these two airplanes can actually make it all the way across the pacific.

Answer 7

I thought they've been doing that for quite some time. a 737 of any kind should be fine. I know it's what can even take some of my troop buddies from NY to Iraq no problem. Most flights aren't straight across because they actually can be longer. They use the curvature of the earth and make a kind of rounded/curved path.

Answer 8

Yes, a BBJ B737 can make it across the Atlantic, I was in control of one this evening at work that was returning from oveseas.

Answer 9

yes because Boeing 737's are used extensively over transatlantic routes. The atlantic is aproximately 4,000 miles

Answer 10

Well, barely. And I beleive it's about 3,000 to 4,000 miles across the Atlantic. But usually the B-777 or somewhat similar to that aircraft make it that far.
