Airbus is on the verge of passing Boeing to hold the best selling aircraft in the history of the world. But it’s shaping up to be a photo finish.

How the Boeing 737 Became the Workhorse
Long before streaming took over your seat‑back entertainment, the Boeing 737 was already flying high. First rolled out in the late 1960s, the 737 series proved durable, adaptable and wildly popular. Boeing kept refining it—from the Classic models (‑300/‑400/‑500) to the Next‑Generation (737NG) in the late 1990s, and then the 737 MAX starting around 2017. The original fuselage and design was based on the Boeing 707, Boeing’s original super product.
