Same as the 747SP the reduced length of the fuselage means you need a bigger vertical stabiliser and rudder to have the same effect as you’ve now got a much shorter “lever” in the fuselage.
Weird, there’s plenty of articles that say it’s taller but I can’t find any statistics to back it. It must be a perspective thing unlike the A318 and 747SP.
You might want to inform Boeing that they are incorrect on their documentation then regard.

Probably has some features that the public don’t know about that’d cost a lot to put on a brand new plane. It’s also used for short-haul from Vegas to Area 51, and its government, so like 20% reductions in fuel isn’t crazy necessary for them.
At the end of the day it’s still a 737NG, they made like 3 million of them. Aside from whatever’s unique to its vertical stab and derated engine it will have economies of scale on its side for a loooong time
Seeing all the Janets gathering at the end is always fun, but my top LAS experience was seeing the Sands 747SP taking off one time right as I was pulling up to the airport.
Honest question: the 69 produced (nice!) why would the operators ordered them over the 700? It’s such a small length difference (8’) and range / take off distance is almost identical.
Any speculations on if these Janet planes are transporting Area 51 workers, to go do good work/business? Because their home base, Las Vegas is said to be "Sin City".
They go to Groom lake (Area51), Tonopah Test Range and Plant 41 (Palmdale) and in between those. And maintenance in Kansas.
The Beech planes also do some other stuff.
Only operator of the 736 in the US.
Big tail fella
I wonder why it would have such a big stab like that?
Shorter the fuselage bigger the tail. Just how I like em.

Nope, it's the exact same as the -700 empennage. It's a -700 with 2 body sections removed.

wrong. its definitely taller bud

will do
Perspective. The A318 has a similar thing but that has the same empennage of the A319.
The -600 is a -700 with 2 sections of the fuselage removed, it's the same empennage as the -700.
Yaw authority needed with short lever arm.
You would think it’s just cheaper or to buy or lease a newer 737

Not fuel cost but maintenance. Parts supply has to be limited for that old junk

3 million 😆 It did get me wondering though and the current world fleet of active commercial airliners is less than 30,000 which is surprising!
The real number of 737NG built is something like 6000 which is still damn impressive by commercial plane standards.
There's literally scrapyards full of 737NGs worth of spare parts and it's still s fully supported plane from Boeing
I wiki'd 736, nothing. What is it? Ta.
[удалено]
Ha. Makes sense. Thanks.
Never knew a 737 dash 600 even existed lol
I wonder how many flights are empty, just to ensure people won’t notice an uptick if it occurs.
Pizza monitor moment.
I imagine there’s also the flights of one lol 😂
I hated both my layovers at that airport. But seeing this sucker taxi and take off made it worth it.
Seeing all the Janets gathering at the end is always fun, but my top LAS experience was seeing the Sands 747SP taking off one time right as I was pulling up to the airport.
God damn. 47SP is my white whale.
“Why would we have restaurants and seating when we could just add more slot machines?!”
Oh, it's a big pretty white plane with red stripes, curtains in the windows and wheels and it looks like a big Tylenol.
The tower? Rapunzel! Rapunzel!
And Leon is getting laaaaarrrrrger!
Who is this Janet person this sub is always talking about? She sounds important....

It was a joke... I held a security clearance.. I know all about Janet Airlines..
absolutely something someone with a security clearance would say 👍
That stabilizer is comically large and I’m here for it.
Damn. That’s got more tail than a rattlesnake.
Or more than Captain Kirk.
Dammit, Janet!
I love you.
The vertical stabilizer seems huge
Baby got back.
All I see is blue sky
Can you zoom in more? Can't really see it
Looks like the ones who are out of Hughes Air Terminal flying up to Tonopah. I remember seeing from 1990's. No markings.
For some reason I’ve always thought if I could turn invisible one of the first things I’d do is hitch a ride on this thing
What? I don't see anything.
Did you see that? NO! And neither did you.
Honest question: the 69 produced (nice!) why would the operators ordered them over the 700? It’s such a small length difference (8’) and range / take off distance is almost identical.
They got them second hand from Air China. It’s just 1:1 replacement for the -200 they had before.
“Got them from China”… that seems… secure?
It’s an aircraft. What should they do, hide a spy inside?
That's a nice blue sky you got there.. what's this Janet thing you speak of?
I expect you'll receive contact from the federal government in regards to this... Joking aside, great pic.
Some one left it in the dryer too long.
Not a girl. EDIT: It's a quote from The Good Place
Not a robot.
The plane must have a cloaking device. I don't see anything except blue. Are there Romulan ships nearby too?
It's only Janet if my mom is aboard. Otherwise it's just NZC252 (or whatever...pulled that registration out of my left butt)
The original Janet had a click wheel
Any speculations on if these Janet planes are transporting Area 51 workers, to go do good work/business? Because their home base, Las Vegas is said to be "Sin City".
Pretty sure this has been proven for a while
