Boeing 737 MAX 10

Boeing · United States · first flew 2021 · airliner

The MAX 10 is the longest 737 variant ever built at 43.8 m, featuring a unique semi-levered main landing gear to maintain engine ground clearance without raising the fuselage.

Recognition (WEFT)

W — Wings	Low-mounted, swept
E — Engines	2 × turbofan, wing-mounted
F — Fuselage	Semi-levered main gear rotates forward on takeoff, keeping engine clearance without raising fuselage
T — Tail	Conventional

WEFT is AircraftIQ's four-point recognition method — how it works.

Spot it by:

Longest MAX at 43.8 m — the stretched landing gear and semi-levered gear leg are unique to this variant
Semi-levered main gear rotates forward on takeoff, keeping engine clearance without raising fuselage
LEAP-1B engines with flat-bottomed nacelles and split-tip AT winglets; more cabin windows than MAX 9

The longest 737 by a visible margin over the MAX 9; the semi-levered gear strut, which angles forward on rotation, is unique among 737 variants and visible to an observant spotter.

History

First flown in June 2021, the MAX 10 was still awaiting FAA certification as of late 2025 due to new cockpit alerting system requirements under the FLIGHT Safety Act. It seats up to 230 passengers in high-density layout, matching the A321neo in capacity.

Variants

No sub-variants; the semi-levered gear is a unique engineering feature of this model.

Where you'll see it

Not in revenue service as of early 2026 pending certification; large order books from United, Delta, and others.
