787FOCAL, The mods didn't move this anywhere
.
I started this in Spectators Balcony (Spotters Corner) as it isn't a rumour, and when I previously posted about the proposed A340-600E in Rumours and News, all the replies I got were people moaning about seniority / pay, instead of the proposed aircraft and its merits and I got shouted down and belittled for not being a commercial pilot
. Never again!
I like to think the people who visit this particular forum have a bit more love for aviation, aren't so judgemental, and can discuss this new plane without resorting to a bragging match.
It does look like a 787 though - but I suppose if you do enough time on the CAD systems and wind tunnel / fluid dynamics software the final aerodynamic shape / configuration is bound to be similar. As the 767 / A300 and DC10 / L1011 proved.
