Certification process for 777X is another hurdle for Boeing
Certification of the Boeing 777X is far off. The airplane’s first flight hasn’t occurred. There is no date announced when it will, but sources suggest it could be this month. (leehamnews.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
The original 777 series are a great aircraft, but the future is the 787. This should have very clear to Boeing before launching the 777X.
The 787? It's already 'too big' for many airlines, and Boeing made a lot of poor decisions on the engineering of that plane too. Just wait.
Like what exactly? The 787 is a fantastic aircraft and will be for many decades.
757 ... new aerodynamic carbon fiber wings and new engines... yep...
They should bring back the 757!!! Seriously! Airbus is eating their lunch with the 200 series, Boeing could have had a whole series of 757's by now, and be sitting pretty, but instead they stuck gigantic engines on a what 40 year old design, and faked making it safe? I have loved the times I've been flown from here to there in the 757, and it would have been a heck of a lot easier to stick new engines on it!
What they did would be as stupid as gluing huge engines onto the MD-80. Yeah, bad idea... Very bad idea...
Boeing should scrap the 737MAX, demote them to 900NG's, refund some money, and sit in a corner and contemplate the really poor choice they made.

Too bad, it's not happening. Just be patient and we'll see a new clean sheet design here in the near future. The MAX will continue on be a successful aircraft for many years.
