ROLE
The Boeing 797
market is now dominated by Boeing’s venerable 757 twinjet. A
total of 1,050 airframes were produced from 1981 to 2004, with the
last aircraft delivered to Shanghai Airlines in November of 2005. But
passenger operators have steadily replaced the 757 with the Boeing 737-900ER
and Airbus A321. The Boeing 797 would be an attempt to recapture this
market share especially from Airbus A321. The Boeing 797 development project
will be a
Boeing 757 sized narrowbody family seating between 200-240 passengers
(two variants) with entry into service (EIS) in the middle of the next
decade (roughly 2025). The target range for this aircraft would be
between 4300-4500 nautical miles, a total targeted at Asian carriers
(as it would allow narrowbody operations between almost all of Asia
and almost all of Europe). In particular, the aircraft would be an
excellent
tool for the Middle Eastern Big Three (plus Turkish Airlines) and South Asian
carriers.
While some are speculating this could be a twin aisle aircraft as was
originally proposed for the Y-1, project Yellowstone 737 clean sheet
replacement, we believe that the more probable outcome is a
highly efficient single aisle aircraft.
