Whilehad originally planned for a 60 to 85 seat aircraft, consultation with launch customer Lufthansa resulted in a change to 100 seats.was far behind its competitors when the 737 was launched, as rival aircraft were already into flight certification. To speed up the development time,reused 60 percent of the structure and systems of the existing 727, most notably the fuselage cross section, which permitted six-abreast seating compared to the rival 1-11 and DC-9's five-abreast layout.Significantly, the widened cross-section and short fuselage complicated the aerodynamics of the planned aft-mounted engines. As a result, engineers mounted the engines on pylons directly to the underside of the wings; which kept the aircraft low to the ground for easy ramp operations.
