A whole lot of nothing new is right. Another tube with wings stuck on it. Other than the structural material change and fully electric systems (no hydraulics, not even the brakes), it's just another wide body.

Boeing engineered the quality out of their products years ago to increase profits so this will be a piece of junk like all of their other new builds are.

And Albaugh is a flat-out admitted communist. One thing about Boeing, it never met a liberal cause or committed progressive it didn't love. He's the only CEO I know that can openly lose $4B in his first two years on the job and still stay employed.

“A whole lot of nothing new is right. Another tube with wings stuck on it.”

Nothing new other than a 20% increase in fuel efficiency....

20% is an amazing accomplishment for Boeing AND the engine suppliers, GE & RR.

“Boeing claimed the 787 would be near to 20% more fuel-efficient than the 767, with one-third of the efficiency gain from the engines, another third from aerodynamic improvements and the increased use of lighter-weight composite materials, and the final third from advanced systems.”

OK we got it, you hate Boeing.

As for me, I have been working there for 25 years and we DO put out a quality product that can match or better anything else flying.
