N316RK

This airframe, registered as N316RK, is a Boeing 737-8 (737 MAX 8) completed in 2018 with manufacturer serial number 44450. The airframe is recorded in the US registry and is owned by Wilmington Trust Co Trustee, a corporate trustee based in Wilmington, Delaware (US). Public data for operator or regular home base is not published; no additional registry actions or valuation details are provided in the supplied dataset. The described record focuses on the airframe configuration, owner identity, and basic performance and seating attributes rather than operational history or market appraisal.

The aircraft is fitted in an American-typical two-class layout with cabin zones described as First / Main Cabin Extra / Main Cabin, accommodating 172 passengers. With its LEAP-1B propulsion and a long-range capability of 3,550 nm, the airframe is suited to medium- to long-range scheduled airline routes and network operations consistent with mainline narrowbody missions. Specific avionics fit, operator base, and unique amenities or maintenance records for this particular tail number are not published in the supplied data. As a corporate trust-owned asset, Wilmington Trust Co Trustee ownership suggests the airframe may be managed under leasing, trust, or asset-holding arrangements rather than direct airline ownership.

The Boeing 737-8 (737 MAX 8) occupies the narrowbody single-aisle market niche offering improved fuel efficiency and range compared with prior generation 737s; this example with LEAP-1B engines and a cruise speed near 453 kts reflects that design intent. Competing types in the same mission space include contemporary narrowbodies from other manufacturers offering similar seating and range profiles. Buyer, lessor, and operator demand for this model is influenced by fleet commonality, regulatory status, and maintenance lifecycle considerations; for this airframe, trust ownership highlights common market practices of holding airframes through corporate trustee structures pending lease placement or remarketing.
