What will happen once Boeing comes out with a 797?

Question

Will they move onto a new hundred series?

Like 800 series? 807, 817, 827, 837...

Answer 1

Right now, Boeing is concentrating on the 787 "Dreamliner" and the next-generation 747, the 747-8. No word yet on any 797...although Boeing is developing another jetliner project.

Answer 2

I like the A400 answer, is that a comment on the (very late) A400M they are trying to finish for the European air forces?

The '7' comes from the production certificate, 700 series.  But the model numbers are marketing, so it will be whatever they think will help sell it I would imagine.

Answer 3

i would say that they would come out with an 800 series

Answer 4

Airbus will roll out an A400!
