Right SPI, thanks. Low level characteristics is a big part for MAD
prosecutions, SAR, SSC, etc..Not to mention response time of the CFM's
vs. Props and of course the corrosion concerns.

The 737 MMA is based on the 737-800 but has a bunch of modifications,
including a -900's wings, heavier gear, and a weapon bay forward of the wing
carry-through.

So I see that Boeing has old info on their website...Sorry about that

Its gonna take some engineering to come up with that bomb bay. Also
what about stores separation from the wings? Of course my favorite:
combat vulnerability improvements?
Sure it will have an altitude and transit/sprint speed advantage, but
how will it behave down low? What will ice drag to fuel consumption
below FL100? Low level characteristics seems to be a major issue with
user.
