797...what?

(1/3) > >>

EHM-1798 Conrad:
came across this article about a boeing rumour......797 supposedidly holding 1000 passengers......

What i think? A load of bollocks....i thought boeing developed the 787 because they thought that the market needed a smaller longer range plane that could land at many airports?

Basicly, i will believe it if boeing officially announce it... and at the moment i aint believing one bit of it ;)

EHM-1001 Robert:
I think that plane is just a vision. I remember I seen it in a Discovery document, and they said, that the wide body have a lot of disadvantages: it is very hard to make empty within a short time or it should be equipped only with doors on its side, and the pax far from the axis should have very few comfort because of larger bowing in the corners.

Anyway, you can download a lot of modified, fully-doubledecker 747s, called 797-1000 from FSPLANET. That design makes more sense, but looks ugly. :s

EHM-1651 Christian:
Well it sems like bulloc since Boeing is now devleoping the B-748
wich in the article is said to been closed in 2003.

EHM-1957 Etienne:
Looks amzing this bird! :o

But I think it won´t be reality...

EHM-1883 Matt:
I think this sounds like one of those things that some guy thought up in his sleep, planned it with Boeing, then found out it can't work.
