China Flyer,

This was a reference to the fact that the wing lifts 50T (12.5%) more than the -400 at about the same speeds and similar thrust rating from the engines. What other stretched airliner does the same? I cannot think of a single one. Most keep the same wing and dial up the speeds and thrust. Just an observation.
