I'd never even heard a mention of an A330 neo until RA started talking about it a few months ago. He practically begged Airbus to build it, so I'd really be surprised if we don't place a large order soon.

Very McDonnel Douglas of Airbus to go the way of a "high margin aircraft" by improving upon an existing model.

Why didn't Boeing save themselves from all of the pain of the 787 and go with a 767MAX?

Considering Airbus just filed this patent yesterday, I say the answer is yes!

That would make for a hell of a ride on a 9 hour flight.

Bet those seats will have a "intimate massage" option for the ladies.

Didn't Ryan Air have something similar proposed?



Not sure if that was it, I think theirs was one where the passengers would stand the entire flight.

Now this is the 739 max interior, but I believe they're thinking of a smaller seat pitch of 29" then the 30" shown here.

and then they expect people not to go postal on flights and become a "security risk"
