Boeing's New 797 Will Be Built In Washington

Quite recently, Boeing reached a massive new tentative agreement affecting over 33,000 of its employees. In its statement on the deal, Boeing revealed it plans to build its next airliner in Washington. While no further details on this new aircraft were disclosed, many in the industry had been anticipating that Boeing would develop its New Midsize Airplane (NMA) - something sized between its 737 MAX 10, and 787-8 Dreamliner. Thinking logically, the designation for a new commercial aircraft is expected to be 797. Let’s look at the details of the new agreement for today’s video…

I actually would like to see a channel bring in more information and maybe a 3rd party who can help navigate the hearsay. Everyone is very likely to just point at management and say they are evil, but I have seen workers be so toxic they “fling their wooden shoes into the machines” Maybe even both. …Meanwhile at the Railroad Industry: Hahahahaha you called us Obsolete!

Right now Boeing has dug itself such a giant hole it will not be in a position to build a new aircraft for at least 10 years. This video is extremely deceptive.

[@Locutus]

757s have been out of production for 2 decades now. The people who worked on them are retired, retiring or not with Boeing. The supply chain for the 757 needs to be reactivated. That will take years for it to happen. And even if the staff and supply chain were there, would the FAA even allow the 757 to enter service again as is? Or would it require Boeing to bring the aircraft up to modern safety standards? The 767 is dead as a passenger aircraft, it's relegated to cargo duties. It might be able to fill a niche in the MMA, but it's not cost effective to buy a 767 when you have more versatile aircraft. Again, any new versions of the 767 might have to meet modern safety standards.

[@kevinp8108]

Unless it’s a twin aisle aircraft, the Airbus 321 XLR has already filled the MMA market.

If we want to be fair, the 737max will be the last 737. So they have to make a new clean sheet aircraft. 737max is already 10 years old. Its half of it expected production life. A 797 need to be presented with in a year. Really less than that realistically. The new aircraft need to be modern. So my guess would be pretty much a scaled down 787. Basically put it in the photo copier at scale 60% and you got a 797. This might actually be easier to certify with less legacy technology to re-certify

[@gustavgans8278]

So many words…so much bs. 1. You talk about “clean sheet” then about “scaled down”, you don’t see the contradiction? 2. Why would 20 years be the expected production time?
