From the Flight Global article:
"As these engines would be larger than the current CF6 engines, the 767X would require a modified landing gear, to give greater clearance below the plane." Why not just move the engines further forward and abov... Nevermind. |

The 767-400 mentioned has very tall gear (airplane appears to be about 1-degree nose-down when parked). It probably gives the clearance they are looking for, to avoid the Max debacle. I’ve read the estimated development costs for a 797 and they were huge. With their butt currently wedged in the porta-john, Boeing might be cash-strapped and risk-averse to a totally new design. I’d say this might happen, and would likely be a good product. |
I’m down with it just as long as they stick with current nomenclature and call it the 767 MAX

If you compare a 767 to a 787, what percentage of the fuel efficiency gains is a result of the engine's compared to the aerodynamics and advanced wing design?
And to add to that, wouldn't a 767MAX just a worse version of a 787? How could that be a success? |
