Airbus has unveiled its new A380 super-jumbo. Will the 555-seat monster leave Boeing trailing in its wake? |
 |
Future Airliners Can you tell me anything about the Boeing 787 and 797 as well as the Airbus A350, A360, A370, and A390? I'd at least like some general ideas about them such range, capacity, and dimensions. What would future airliners look like, apart from the ugly Boeing BWB? - name withheld |
 |
There are as yet no official plans for any Boeing 787 or 797. Up until a couple years ago, most people believed Boeing's next major project might be a follow-on to the 747 to compete with Airbus's super-jumbo A380. |
 |
While Boeing pushed developing an upgraded 747 model, most airlines indicated that they would prefer an entirely new design instead. |
 |
The only publicly released concept I've come across for this potential new-build aircraft is shown below. Boeing's internal designation for this design study was the 763-246C. |
 |
If it had gone into production, it would likely have been rechristened the 787 to conform to the standard Boeing naming convention. |
 |
Boeing 763-246C The 763 concept not only provided room for 450 to 550 passengers, but could be equipped with sleeping berths in an upper deck for longer intercontinental routes up to 9,000 nm (16,740 km). |
 |
Nevertheless, Boeing abandoned both the upgraded 747 and any potential replacements, at least temporarily, when it announced plans to focus on a completely different market for its next major project. |

Instead of building a very large jetliner to carry 500 or more passengers, Boeing believed a more lucrative market existed in carrying about 250 passengers over very long ranges at higher speeds than is possible with conventional airliner designs.
|
 |
This philosophy was reflected in the Sonic Cruiser concept unveiled in early 2001. |
 |
This aircraft would have been a competitor in the 767 and A310 class of airliners. |
