The Boeing 737-500 is the is a shortened development of the second-generation Boeing 737. It still carries much of the structural weight needed for the higher weight models. This makes it less efficient than if it was designed specifically for its size category. All three second generation 737 models share extensive systems and structure commonality, and a common aircrew type rating.
