That is a very beautiful airplane. For me it sort of evokes the old Lockheed
Constellation, another handsome plane:

Boeing is the gang that can’t shoot straight the last 10 years. The 777-8...aka the A350 killer is a dud. The Airbus 220 Neo is a great airplane as is the A350. Boeing’s big problem was they went elephant hunting and sucked up to the UAE carriers and designed airplanes around their needs in the early 2000’s. The 787 Dreamliner is proving to be this year’s 737 Max. Beset by issues, delayed deliveries. Airbus right now is like the Japanese cars in the 1980’s they just took over as the lumbering clumsy giants called GM\Ford\Chrysler sat by and got out flanked. Boeing really needs a clean sheet design for a widebody. The new jumbo is the future. Point to point leave to the 737 and Southwest.
