KC-46 has been having issues since it was first started and it’s literally a 767-200 which came out in 1982. It’s not even big enough to replace the KC-10
737Max- speaks for itself
787- obviously the program had its issues in the beginning and it’s been extremely expensive for Boeing but overall is a great airplane. But they will never push the technology limits like this again due to costs.

So what now? They just bought an ex delta MD-90 and are gonna strap a wing to the top of it and put UDF fan props on it like they did with the 72/MD80 in the 90s.

I don’t see a new airplane for Boeing in the next 10 years. I’m no expert but I really don’t feel like Boeing is going to be producing anything in the commercial market that they don’t already make between now and 2034.
