Boeing is set to start deliveries of 737s equipped with the low-drag nozzle and plug engine configuration as it approaches the completion of the performance improvement package (PIP) upgrade. The first part of the upgrade was rolled out in a block part change on the line in March when aerodynamic clean-up features were introduced. These include reduced drag anti-collision light fairings, low drag wheel well enclosures and improvements to slat and spoiler trailing edges. A second block introduced the upgraded CFM56-7BE engine in July, with initial delivery to China Southern that month. The next phase adds an improved, and frankly stylish-looking, shorter primary nozzle and plug set. KLM will be the first to take an aircraft, a 737-700, with all these features. A final change, due for introduction in January 2012, will be an improved environmental control system exhaust vent controlled by a ‘smart’ actuator. The combined package, which Boeing began testing in November 2010, is aimed at reducing fuel consumption by 2%.

Will we see this in the NGX. I would prefer they just concentrated on things that make it really make their planes special. Do you know how much fuel saving this would have.

Oh, there it is. Who looks through these things. If its small writing, don't read it is my motto.

Haha, never mind

You can always tell an Aussie ...Admittedly, not very much.

Lol. We are very unique I like to think.

Hey, it's a full tank of gas saved for every 50 flights.

It sounds a lot when you say it like that.
