The 737-200 contains 24,268 kg (53,500 pounds) of aluminum.

The surface area of the 737 wing is 604 square metres (6,500 square feet) - more than three times the floor area of an average U.S. home.
A fully loaded 737 can climb at 822 metres (2,895 feet) per minute - faster than elevators in the world's tallest building.
The 737 landing gear weights 1,564 kg (3,450 pounds) - as much as a compact car.
The 737 was the first jet airliner with fully automatic braking system.
