"I don't think the 747-800 will kill the 777, not in the least. The fuel burn is just too good on the 777, a whopping 25% less (Boeing's numbers). The -800 will have a good niche though if for no other reason than the outsized cargo market."
Layinlow, There is no plans to build any Boeing -800 aircraft that I am aware of. Are you by chance referring to the new 747-8?
