N887SM

This entry documents airframe N887SM, a Boeing 737 MAX 8 registered in the US. Manufacturer information lists Boeing Commercial Airplanes as the origin and the airframe is categorized as a fixed-wing multi-engine aircraft. Build year, manufacturer serial number, and detailed ownership timeline are Not published. Operator and home base information are Not published. Notable registry actions and valuation/condition highlights are Not published.

The cabin layout and exact seating configuration for N887SM are Not published; as a Boeing 737 MAX 8 variant it typically accommodates multiple single-aisle seating layouts depending on operator specification. Avionics are listed as Collins Aerospace (airline/variant dependent), indicating the flight deck fit may vary by customer and retrofit history and that any electronics or systems upgrades will follow operator preferences and certification paths. Typical mission profiles for this airframe class include short- to medium-haul scheduled services and higher-density domestic routes within the aircraft’s 3,550 nm range and 453 kt cruise performance; actual route deployment for this registration is Not published. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe will reflect the MAX family’s systems, the two LEAP-1B engines, and operator-selected avionics, with line and heavy maintenance cycles determined by utilization and operator programs.

The Boeing 737 MAX 8 sits in the single-aisle, medium-range market niche, offering improved fuel efficiency and commonality with earlier 737 generations while using twin CFM LEAP-1B engines rated at 28,000 lbf thrust each. Competing models include current narrow-body types from rival manufacturers targeting similar range and capacity. Buyer and charter demand generally focuses on fleet replacement and efficiency gains; resale and maintenance considerations hinge on engine program membership, avionics variability such as Collins Aerospace fits, and regulatory/commonality factors tied to operator-specific configurations.
