What computer assisted flying did Boeing jerry rig to the 777 to keep this stretched version flying? The current longest passenger jet is the 747-800 at 250 feet. This is 2 feet longer.

Is it currently known for sure that the software addition to the 737-MAX holds THE cause of both 737-MAX crashes?

Whatever the merit of the speculation, is that speculation actually true? (And I certainly may have missed something.)

And... btw... on another topic... what three or four letter search string do I use in flightradar24 to look explicitly for 737-MAX aircraft? Anybody here know? “73” will yield all 737 variations, for example.

Weren't we just told that the world didn't want any more 'big' airplanes? Airbus cancelled production of their big A-380 airplane.

Goodbye! Airbus Cancels Production Of A380 Airbus

It’s a beautiful plane.

I guarantee you the seats will still be smaller and less comfortable than ever.

Probably not the week to be releasing something like this. Someone at Boeing needs their head examined.

That additional 2 feet is enough to seat 8 more passengers.....

There is probably not much of a manual option left to fly that thing.

How about we get the 737 super max to stay in the air first... Let’s get win 7 working again before we throw more updates at Boeing win 10...

Am I the only one who looks at those photos and thinks “Connie...”?

My fave travel aircraft, to date....

If the Airbus 380 was physically imposing, the new Boing 777X takes it to an entirely new level.

I don’t care how sleek and technologically-advanced the thing is. I find air travel to be so tiresome, uncomfortable, and degrading these days that if another means of travel exists, I’ll take it. I’ll take the extra 12 hours of driving through scenic countryside over 2 hours in a TSA strip search conga line and 3 hours of miserable confinement in a tin can amid the smells of fat tourists and sounds of screaming brats any day.
