What is the little white box that appears on top of the United 737?What does it do?It's only on the United 737.You can see the white thing in MS paint near the rear of the fuselage.The white box thing is absent on the Transavia 737 and the GOL 737.

It's a satellite box which makes the airlines choose if they want TV/Internet onboard.

Why don't they have this box on the 747, 767, 777, 757 other aircraft which have TV/internet on board?

Could be somewhere on board the 747 we can't see. Maybe under the back of the hump on the 747. What I said before someone else said.

It s the ROW44 !

It's a Ku-band Satcom antenna, for internet and mobile phone connections. If you see a smaller, flatter antenna, that one will be an L-band antenna. The can either be fuselage or fin mounted, so they are sometimes difficult to spot on other aeroplanes, but most of them will have one somewhere on them these days. Al

Maybe Ryan Air has a row 44 on their '73s :(

[NJ_Flyer 3]

Virgin Australia (formally Virgin Blue) have them on some of their 737s too.

Strange thing is I sometimes don't see them on other 747s. Lufthansa has them but some others don't. Can you select that option?
