Thumbs up Boeing Y3 & 777-300ER + 747 replacement Ecoliner
chornedsnorkack, I think a trijet would be very heavy. The APTU envisioned would be a CFM class engine neadly fitting into the tail. It would provide the Ecoliner the required power at take-off with an engine failure while not requiring an engine to developped even larger then the GE90-115, while still providing twin cruise economics.



Henry (www.kaktusdigital.com) made a very nice animation of the Ecoliner:
