The 737 MAX 10 was proposed as a stretched MAX 9 in mid-2016, enabling seating for 230 in a single class or 189 in two-class layout, compared to 193 in two-class seating for the A321neo. The modest {{Convert|66|in|m|adj=on|abbr=out}} stretch of fuselage enables the MAX 10 to retain the existing wing and CFM Leap 1B engine from the MAX 9 with a trailing-link main landing gear as the only major change.<ref>{{cite news |url= http://aviationweek.com/technology/boeing-defines-final-737-max-stretch-offering |title= Boeing Defines Final 737 MAX Stretch Offering |date= January 10, 2017 |first= Guy |last= Norris |work= Aviation Week & Space Technology |access-date= September 6, 2020 |archive-date= January 31, 2017 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20170131222215/http://aviationweek.com/technology/boeing-defines-final-737-max-stretch-offering |url-status= live}}</ref> The MAX 10 was launched on June 19, 2017, with 240 orders and commitments from more than ten customers.<ref>{{cite news |url= https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/paris-boeing-launches-737-max-10-438370/ |title= Boeing launches 737 Max 10 |date= June 19, 2017 |first= Stephen |last= Trimble |publisher= Flightglobal |access-date= September 6, 2020 |archive-date= May 10, 2019 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20190510153358/https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/paris-boeing-launches-737-max-10-438370/ |url-status= live}}</ref> The variant configuration with a predicted 5% lower trip cost and seat cost compared to the A321neo was firmed up by February 2018, and by mid-2018, the [[critical design review]] was completed.<ref>{{cite news |url= http://www.boeingblogs.com/randy/archives/2017/03/max_10x_1.html |title= MAX 10X |first= Randy |last= Tinseth |date= March 6, 2017 |publisher= Boeing |access-date= September 6, 2020 |archive-date= November 26, 2017 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20171126185251/http://www.boeingblogs.com/randy/archives/2017/03/max_10x_1.html |url-status= live}}</ref><ref>{{cite press release |url= http://boeing.mediaroom.com/2018-02-06-Boeing-737-MAX-10-Reaches-Firm-Configuration |title= Boeing 737 MAX 10 Reaches Firm Configuration |date= February 6, 2018 |publisher= Boeing |access-date= September 6, 2020 |archive-date= September 19, 2020 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20200919105022/https://boeing.mediaroom.com/2018-02-06-Boeing-737-MAX-10-Reaches-Firm-Configuration |url-status= live}}</ref> The MAX 10 has a similar capacity to the A321XLR, but shorter range and much poorer field performance in smaller airports.<ref>{{cite news |title=Why the A321XLR makes sense for Alaska Airlines |url=https://leehamnews.com/2020/02/23/why-the-a321xlr-makes-sense-for-alaska-airlines/ |access-date=February 24, 2020 |work=Leeham News and Analysis |date=February 23, 2020 |archive-date=March 12, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210312173432/https://leehamnews.com/2020/02/23/why-the-a321xlr-makes-sense-for-alaska-airlines/ |url-status=live}}</ref> It was unveiled in Boeing's Renton factory on November 22, 2019, and first flew on June 18, 2021.<ref>{{cite press release |url= https://boeing.mediaroom.com/news-releases-statements?item=130578 |title= Boeing 737 MAX 10 Makes its Debut |date= November 22, 2019 |publisher= Boeing |access-date= September 6, 2020 |archive-date= September 15, 2020 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20200915173156/https://boeing.mediaroom.com/news-releases-statements?item=130578 |url-status= live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/business/chi-boeing-new-airplane-20141105-story.html |title=Boeing plans to develop new airplane to replace 737 Max by 2030 |date=November 5, 2014 |work=Chicago Tribune |url-status=live |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20141112215116/http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/breaking/chi-boeing-new-airplane-20141105-story.html |archive-date=November 12, 2014}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Hemmerdinger |first=Jon |date=June 18, 2021 |title=Boeing 737 Max 10 makes maiden flight |work=Flight Global |url=https://www.flightglobal.com/airframers/boeing-737-max-10-makes-maiden-flight/144230.article |url-status=live |access-date=June 18, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210627215105/https://www.flightglobal.com/airframers/boeing-737-max-10-makes-maiden-flight/144230.article |archive-date=June 27, 2021}}</ref> The MAX 10 is still awaiting certification, with Boeing CEO David Calhoun saying in July 2024 that the MAX 10 could be certified in the first half of 2025.<ref name=boeing_jul24 />
