What technology are they referring to? Is this technology any different from the 787?

He's talking about replacing all the existing Boeing product lines with aircraft using the materials developed for the 787. Airbus is in for a world of hurt. Their A380 will have a short lifespan. After Boeing develops its plastic replacement for the 737 and 757, they will develop a plastic replacement for the 777-300 and 747's. They will have much lower CASM than the A380 and cause Airbus to shut down the A380 program decades earlier than they expected.

I think I like "black aluminum" better than "plastic".
