737-100
Boeing · USA
Originally nicknamed "Baby Boeing," the 737 moved the engines back under the wings to save weight and simplify the tail. It was designed for a two-pilot cockpit, eliminating the need for a flight engineer.
Legacy Fact: Over 11,000 have been built, making it the backbone of low-cost carriers like Southwest and Ryanair.
