I've got a question...If the 787 proves to be successful over the next 5-10 years, you do guys think it possible that Boeing would redesign its current commercial aircraft using composite materials for the fuselage? Or would this prove to be impractical.

I am aware of the impending composite replacement for the 737. But what about the 747 and 777?
