Boeing Sonic Cruiser

pity it got abandoned.. but the 787 dreamliner seems awesome too!

ABSOLUTELY! GOOD!

ABSOLUTELY!

Hard to belive or not they are expected to be delivering the 747 stretch this year (no its not been cancelled) set to carry 500+ passengers over 7500 miles, check the 787 stats, none of its versions come close to that. So yes, it is worth while for them.

Boeing are going the right way? airbus building bigger?? Sort the facts mate, boeing are developing a bigger version of the 747 (bigger than a380) in direct response to it!

I find that hard to believe.. especially with all the interest and hype surrounding the new 787.. why would they waste ANY time or resources developing something bigger than the A380 when the projected sales of the 787 alone will secure the companies future for sure?.. Did you not hear that Airbus is actually now R&D-ing a replacement for the a320 to compete with the 787?.. I think Boeing is going in the right direction.. taking a few risks with the composite body but it may pay off BIG TIME.

the 'even bigger version of the 747' is not as big as the A380. Its called the 747-8. Also the 787 will compete with the A330 and A350XWB not the A320 which airbus has no plans to replace yet.

all bla bla talk!

arsenium666 - Stop drinking all of that Absinthe! Fecking asshat!

I guess this beautiful aircraft went the way of the giant rotating permanent space stations and bases on the moon and Mars. Now it will never get built.
