Approximately 2 inches per minute.
Boeing 737s are assembled at the Boeing plant in Renton, WA. The moving 737 assembly line in Renton replaced three separate non-moving 737 production lines. The single moving line is more efficient, and allows aircraft to be completed up to 50 percent faster.
The much newer moving assembly line at the Boeing wide-body plant in Everett, WA moves at about 1.8 inches per minute. Its used only during the final assembly stages (seats, etc) of the Boeing 777.

You gotta be good to work at those speeds.

Chicago being the capitol of Illinois should have its own airplane… I just wish the city had an airport to land that baby at.
Also, anyone from Illinois should pay only $1 to fly on it…except for those from Chicago…it should be free for them.

June 25th, 2009 at 8:17 am

June 25th, 2009 at 8:17 am

vermont one
washington one
washington DC one(with pics of like the mall, wash. monument, white house, etc)
oregon one
and eventually have 1 4 each of the 50 states

June 25th, 2009 at 8:17 am
wouldnt have chose this music but watever
June 25th, 2009 at 8:17 am
now that is just SICK!
and Tony they don’t even use other boeing jets, there all 737′s some older then others. and i got nothing against airbus. i think boeing look better, but airbus’s are more comforable to fly in.
and they should def. make a Florida 1
SWA FTW!
June 25th, 2009 at 8:17 am
they should make a connecticut one
June 25th, 2009 at 8:17 am
It’s amazing how they put these birds together.
Using only one kind of plane has made SWA very successful, we’ll NEVER use AirBus!

June 25th, 2009 at 8:17 am
Santanamets57, they wouldn’t do that because buying only one airplane keeps maintenance costs down.
June 25th, 2009 at 8:17 am
