Can we strap these on a narrow body aircraft? lol.
Single engine performance for heavy, hot, high altitude, shorter runways.Serious, but dumb, question: what capability does an extra 6k thrust give?
Actually the “797” will be the Boeing replacement. If the Max doesn’t crush them.Will be interesting if the 777X actually gets any more love. Most WB buys seem to be 773ER/787 or 330NEO/350, while there’s no real 757 replacement. ??♂️
I’m ready for the 321 XLRs to show up in 23. I should be in a good position seniority wise to enjoy what were historically 75 destinations. Hopefully it will come with group 3 pay.Narrowbody... Haha.. Y’all keep flying those baby airplanes, I’ll stick with widebody aircraft! ?
Which then enables - new routes?Single engine performance for heavy, hot, high altitude, shorter runways.
Probably carrying more stuff out of heavy, hot, high altitude, shorter runways in Frank’s case.Which then enables - new routes?
Faster old routes?
Thinking from a business perspective.
It opens up airports that you wouldn't be allowed to fly out of otherwise (have to have single engine performance to climb out of the airport even it it's elevated and surrounded by terrain) or that you'd only be allowed to fly out of with when weight restricted (less fuel or less payload).Which then enables - new routes?

Not just for the airlines. Entire Fortune 500 businesses are built around being able to (among other things) package up many people’s stuff, buy that airline freight capacity in bulk, and still give customers a good deal while making money. Ocean shipping containers, too.I have heard that part of the business sense of the 777 (pax models, not freight) is the freight it can carry down below in addition to Pax and their luggage.
