Ok so this is probably looking for a very niche group and im not fully expecting an answer, but how would you say and wright out an aircrafts type? So, lets say for a Boeing 737-800. Would it be said like “ななさんなな-はっぴゃく”, or “ななひゃくさんじゅなな-はっぴゃく”, or some other way? And would you write 七三七ー八百 or 七百三十七ー八百? Or just as 737-800 like in English? Sorry if this makes no sense, im still pretty new to Japanese. Also sorry if the flair is wrong, first time posting here.

How to fish for answers yourself:
1. Japanese wikipedia? 例えば、ボーイング747-400 https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%9C%E3%83%BC%E3%82%A4%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B0747-400
2. Read a book on airplanes. For instance, I read a book which was about someone who was a “train fan” and I learned a lot of train names.
I have a 飛行機オタク (ひこうき おたく, plane maniac/geek) in my family and he says “なな さん なな ダッシュ はっぴゃく” (ダッシュ = dash) or just “なな さん なな はっぴゃく”. And you write “737-800” just like in English.
