Boeing designed it this way for maximum commonality: shared avionics reduced training time and easier transitions for pilots rated on 777/787.

"Congress just slapped down the Pentagon and saved Boeing's E-7 Wedgetail program ✈ DoD was ready to kill it. costs shot from $588M to $724M per jet huge delays plus theyre betting big on space-based recon instead. But lawmakers stepped in with NDAA cash saying no way we risk an AWACS gap when threats are everywhere. This 737-based beast is meant to replace the ancient E-3 Sentry prototypes still rolling. Earlier US waffling even tanked similar NATO plans. Personally I think Congress got this one right. readiness today beats gambling on future tech. You buying the space pivot or sticking with"
