After months of deliberations, Boeing has revealed details of a number of design decisions it has made on the 737 MAX - including how it will accommodate the larger engines being used. An eight-inch nose gear extension will lift the aircraft so that the larger engine fan of the CFM International LEAP-1B engines is able to fit whilst maintaining a similar ground clearance to today's 737. A new pylon and strut has also been agreed on, and the engines will be integrated with the wing "similar to the aerodynamic lines of the 787 Dreamliner engine with its wing".
