It even gives the impression that once Airbus launches the A350 Neo it would be the end of Boeing. 777-8/9. By replacing large four-engined aircraft, Boeing 777-9 It is an extraordinary twin-engine flying machine but its 90s design takes its toll and as Boeing has already fully exploited the aerodynamics of the B747, Finally, there comes a point that no matter how much technology is applied to the B787 Dreamliner, the B777 will become history in terms of efficiency but not in capacity because it is the largest twin-engine in the world.. I think the B777 will have a better future as a Freighter (freighter) what as commercial.
Emirates knows it needs capacity but passenger efficiency, You have orders yes B777-9 although more for cargo the B777-8F is excellent.
There will be an A350neo? The problem of 777-9 is that it still does not fly and the delays are killing it financially. Although Boeing proves it, only the airlines will be able to say how good and better than other planes it is. For now, will have to keep waiting. what i see, is that the 777X has technology from ago 10 years? I don't know what changes there will have been in this time and I think that this weakens it..
Hello there. Excellent article. I leave you a topic to analyze. It was demonstrated that the A380 came out untimely and the B787 pushed it further into the abyss, finishing burying his younger brother and new A350. I have the perception that the B777-9 will cause the same in the A350, with the exception of European airlines married to Airbus(Iberia). What do you think?
I don't think so, the A350 is a great machine that has surprised even Airbus with its performance and has the capacity for optimization to make it more competitive. To my way of seeing, the 777-9 will come to compete with the A350 peer to peer, since the 787 I don't see competition from 350 for autonomy, capacity and more. I can be wrong.
