Boeing teases the 797

[RDoug]

Capacity around 220-270, range 5,200 miles, and situated in the market between the 737 and 787. Twin-aisle fuselage with an elliptical cross-section.

Looks like a solid 757 replacement. Not sure why they wouldn't opt for the blended winglets like the 787. Its nice to know that our grandkids may be alive to see it fly one day.

I think they will, this is not a Boeing render but just a guess at what it will look like. Boeing has stated that scimitar winglets are actually not as efficient as blended or raked wingtips but they were the easiest/most cost effective option for the 737 retrofits and raked wingtips would make 2 737s next to each other not fit at some standard narrowbody gates. I would be very surprised if the 797 doesn't have something different than what you see here.

It looks like a Boeing A320 imo

If that pic is real or not**

Does it have the ability to shoot down 737s?

19 Rheostats or bust.

I'm picturing a really long narrow fuselage and a suspiciously familiar nose with "737-1100' crossed out and "797" written in crayon.

Please have a side stick and a tray table.

Meh, that's a lot of range in a small tube. I'll hold out for the 808.

They forgot the part where it's pilotless. Also are they going to go around the horn and start back with the 7 oh numbers or move in to the 8 ohs?

I wonder how many 737max orders will be converted to the "797" if it ever happens. It sounds a lot better than any future version(s) of the 737.

Amen. The yoke is a straight ego thing with Boeing. Big mistake if it doesn't have one.

A mistake as in?

1930s ergonomics for 2017 and beyond.

Like building it with one engine. Sidestick is better.

All I care about is that it requires 2 pilots.

Looks like a 1/2 scale 787-8 to me.

I've heard that they are looking at a twin aisle design. Apparently, The big gripes about the long Airbus and 737's are deplane and boarding times.

 

[ShyFlyer]

That artist's rendering looks like they took an A320 and grafted a 787 cockpit to it. Also looks like they're not giving up on the obsession with number 8.

 

[Wardogg]

Sidestick is better.

Based on what criteria? I mean other than your personal opinion.
