Gates and wingspans
 

Just curious if anyone knows how the wingspans of the 787-10 and A350-1000 will fit into our current gates. Im assuming the wingspans are longer than the 777-200.

Im specifically curious about how we are going to be getting our new wide body fleets wedged into EWR and SFO. Less gates? Can the lines be re-drawn, or are they maxed out? Or will EWR and SFO be where the 777 goes to die.

You can quickly google the wingspans of any aircraft. The 787-10 has a slightly shorter span then the 777-200/300.

Bet that mechanic moving the 777 in Ord the other day wished it was a 787.

So it is. I'm shocked That the wing for 787-10 is so short. guess I should do research first instead of just posting what ever pops up into the old noggin :D.

So the 350 is 213ft guess the extra 14ft on the 777 won't be to much of a problem.

Thanks

NO!!! Bummer. Didn't hear about that one.

How bad was it?

Well.....a -400 AND a 777 are down for months and may be scrapped. Other than that, it's all good! :D 777 wing went through the nose of the -400 and damaged the pressure bulkhead, the 777 needs 20ft of new wing, both are AOG for a long while IF they are determined to still be of value. Rumor was the -400 may be beer cans.

Amazed that there is zilch for pictures on the internets. Solid golf clap to the wrenches for this one...
