A380

Given the previous investment & government support, I'd be surprised to see the A380 program cancelled. Manufacturer is making good money on other programs & there's still a reasonable chance demand for the machine will pick up.

Needs to cut fuel burn by 15-20%, which is technically possible today, with larger winglets & geared turbofans.
