In view of enlargement the cabin dimension was necessary to remake the air-conditioning system and that became the basic difference of this aircraft from the other family. According to this remake there are two missing windows on each side, thanks to this fact the aircrafts – 400 are easy for distinguishing from other 737 Classic. The aircraft is also equipped with additional emergency exits on each wing (two on each side when —300 and —500 — has only one on each side) and fifth at the end, which prevents the distraction of the end part of fuselage in case of touching landing strip. These features of construction have become typical for the next “long” 737s (—800, —900).
