Model & Market Context

The airframe bearing tail number N463VX is a Boeing-built freighter completed in 1997 with manufacturer serial number 27632. The airframe is registered in the US and, according to available records, is owned by Vx Capital Partners (corporation). Operator and home-base details are Not published in the supplied data. Notable registry actions and valuation or condition highlights are Not published.

This airframe is a conversion freighter: a Boeing 737-48E (737-400F) with the original passenger interior removed and the main deck outfitted for cargo operations. The type is a fixed-wing multi-engine category aircraft configured for main-deck freight carriage rather than revenue passenger seating. Avionics fit and specific operator route structures are Not published in the supplied data; typical missions for this configuration generally encompass short- to medium-haul cargo hops within the aircraft’s range envelope. Maintenance considerations particular to this airplane include standard checks associated with the airframe’s age (manufactured 1997) and the specific CFM56-3C1 engine fleet support, though detailed maintenance status is Not published.

The Boeing 737-400F occupies a niche in the converted narrow-body freighter market, offering operators a balance of payload capability and stage-length flexibility within a roughly 2,935 nm range and cruise speeds around 485 kts. Competing types in the same segment typically include earlier generations of narrow-body freighters and other 737 Classic conversions. Buyer and charter demand for this model tends to be driven by operators needing cost-effective, short- to medium-range cargo lift; resale and maintenance considerations often hinge on engine type—here the CFM56-3C1—and overall airframe hours and cycles, which are Not published for this specific unit.
