I dont have to be an expert to see that Boeing has helluva problem to sell this bird to the airlines.
Small company in Iceland buys 2aircrafts, with no money down, and 5 options!!!!
The orderbook has some resemblance to the one of the late sonic crucier.
The fact is that Japan is coming up with $3.5bn and Boeing only $1.5bn (out of 10 total) for this program.
Because of that, Boeing is building an aircraft tailored for the big airlines in Japan (50 orders) when the others just wants an aircraft with 3000nm less range.
