I think on the whole its pretty sexy , just the tail looks a bit weird. Now will the cockpit have control columns or side sticks :}

Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.

I like it

[TIMMEEEE]

Pax dont really care what the thing looks like - as long as it has two wings, a tail and looks like it can fly.

If Boeing can make this thing live up to specifications (something Airbus has had trouble with on a regular occasion) then they have a real winner here.

Airbus really have a competition on their hands.

I believe it will still have a control column instead of the side stick. Boeing are planning a CCQ type endorsement with the B777. Similar to the B767/757 and the A330/340.

TIMMEEEE

The outfit I work for is both a big Boeing and Airbus customer. To be honest we have had just us much problems with both aircraft manufactures. The first B777-300 came in about 5t heavier than planned. The early A340-600 was close to 9t over weight. The biggest problem has been in engine performance. The RB211-524G’s when upgraded to H’s I think didn’t meet manufactures performance spec’s. The Trent 700’s in the early days had gearbox problems and the Trent 900’s currently burns 2% more fuel than they are suppose to.

It does "look" Asian.....:ooh:

1279shp,

I must disagree, I reckon it's looks fantastic, even with the surfboard fin tail! Looking into the specs, it will be the Duck's Nuts of the sky and should propel Boeing back to it's deserved place of No. 1.

As for ugly, the A380 is hideous, but not as ugly as the Pacific Blue livery! Surely someone could've put some thought into it!

Looks like the rudder fell off!:}

[hoss]

Got to agree with the 'surfboard look', I'm going to call it the 'Skeg Jet' (not Keg Jet, sorry Tony ;) ).

Love its lines, hoss:)

[expedite_climb]

That fin has gotta be waaaaaay too small...

[farqueue]

The weird look of the tail is mostly from the paint job going almost, but not
quite to the training edge of the rudder.

Yeah I know, just get a scarebus pilot to fix it...

[c152pilot]

hi,

But are they going call it the 787 or keep it as the 7E7

[Keg]

Geez hoss, I was excited until I realised I was having a slysdexic moment. :}

Hmmm. The 'Keg Jet' does have a nice ring to it. I'll have to start referring to the B744 like that if I get my slot! :D

[hoss]

Best wishes for your KJ744 slot Keg:) , hope it all works out.

hoss :ok: .

I think the boys at boeing have been watching too many thunderbirds re-runs.

There's nothing too ugly about ANA, especially down the back.
