N315SD

This airframe, registered as N315SD, is a Boeing 737 MAX 8 (type designation 737-8, B38M) built in 2019 with manufacturer serial number 44470. The aircraft is owned by Wilmington Trust Co Trustee (a trustee/corporation based in Wilmington, DE, US) and carries a US registration; its operator configuration is set up for American Airlines service. The airframe is line-equipped with Collins Aerospace avionics as delivered to the airline standard, and it has the serial and registration history typical of a production MAX built in the 2018–2019 production run. Valuation and current condition details: Not published.

The cabin of this specific airframe is fitted in a two-class layout for American Airlines with 16 business-class seats and 156 economy seats for a total of 172 seats. Avionics are Collins Aerospace line-fit / airline-standard, supporting standard airline operational avionics suites and integration with airline flight operations and maintenance systems. With a mission range of 3,550 nm and a cruise speed near 453 kts, the aircraft is typically employed on short- to medium-haul mainline routes within an airline network, where high single-aisle capacity and efficient stage lengths are required. Maintenance considerations for this airframe center on its LEAP-1B engines and standard 737 MAX airframe servicing cycles as carried out under the operator’s maintenance program.

As a member of the 737 MAX family, the 737-8 (B38M) airframe combines higher-efficiency LEAP-1B propulsion with a two-class, 172-seat mainline configuration designed for dense single-aisle markets. Its performance figures — cruise 453 kts, ceiling 41,000 ft, and range 3,550 nm — position it for flexible deployment across an airline’s short- to medium-range network. Market considerations for this specific aircraft include operator-configured cabin density, the line-fit Collins avionics standardization, and ownership under a trustee/corporation structure, each factor influencing lease, maintenance scheduling, and secondary-market transferability.
