As it has been discussed in the past, Boeing did have plan to produce the B 747-700 in 1996, which is similar to the A 380 if not even bigger.

However, it has been cancelled I guess........

So do you guys think Boeing will ever launch the B 747-700 (NLA)?

It would be cool if they make it right now to compete with the A 380.

What do you guys think?  Smile

Boeing has decided not to compete with Airbus on who can lose the most money on a Super Jumbo. It is a very smart business move. Remember that Boeing has to first please their shareholders, not aviation enthusiasts like us.

I dont think that will ever come, They just delayed their 747X so when they are ready again they will probbably have somethin else.

Only if there is enough market space, in future, having benefits of knowledge about A380 advantages and disadvantages...

Ummm.... no?  Insane

Boeing just said they scrapped the 747X project in favor of other projects, so I say it's highly unlikely, I believe they are focusing more on the Mach 0.95 jetliner... could be interesting, we'll have to see how it turns out.

I strongly believe that EVENTUALLY, that is, one day, Boeing will come up with something even bigger than the A 380 and that will become the largest aircraft in the world again.

What do you guys think?
