Akbar.
I guess you are talking about the B737-700C or C40.
The C-40 family are the US military versions of the 737. All have the -700 fuselage combined with the stronger -800 wing and landing gear, similar to a BBJ1.
Its very similiar in length as the earlier B737-200C.
Variants were:-
C-40A: US Navy, Fleet logistics support aircraft
C-40B: US Air Force, High-priority personnel transport & communications aircraft.
C-40C: Air National Guard, High-priority personnel transport aircraft
Did not sell well apart a few to the US Navy/US Airforce.

It IS a special derivative - B737-700 C
| Quote: | Dubbed the BBJ C, the variant would incorporate the main deck cargo door which Boeing says is 'big enough for a car or horses.' The version would also be the first multi-purpose business jet. 'It's a wonder no-one has thought of it before,' adds the company which says its customers frequently want to 'transport a lot of stuff.'
Boeing also envisages the BBJ C would be developed along the lines of the Quick Change 700C variant, enabling an overnight change capability, but does not anticipate any follow-on mixed freight/passenger Combi derivatives. The BBJ C would build on the existing -700C, which incorporates the basic -700 fuselage with the stronger gear and heavier gauge wings of the -800, by adding auxiliary fuel tanks and winglets." |
