*The  BOEING  797*****

Boeing is preparing this 1000 passenger Jet Liner that could reshape the
Air Travel Industry. Its radical "Blended Wing & Fuselage" design has been
developed by Boeing in cooperation with NASA Langley Research Centre. The
mammoth aircraft will have a wing span of 265 feet compared to 211 feet of
its 747, and its been designed to fit within the newly created Air
Terminals for the 555 seat Airbus A380, which is 262 feet wide.****

The new 797 is Boeing's direct response to the Airbus A380, which has
racked up orders for 159 already. Boeing decided to kill its 747X Stretched
Super Jumbo in 2003 after little interest was shown for it by Airline
Companies, but continued to develop its "Ultimate Airbus Crusher", the 797
at its Phantom Works Research Facility in Long Beach, California.****

The Airbus A380 had been in the works since 1999 and has accumulated $13
Billion in development costs, which gives Boeing a huge advantage. More so
because Airbus is thus committed to the older style tubular structure for
their aircraft for decades to come.****

There are several big advantages in the "Blended Wing & Fuselage" design,
the most important being the ‘Lift to Drag’ ratio which is expected to
increase by an amazing 50%, resulting in an overall weight reduction of the
aircraft by 25%, making it an estimated 33% more fuel efficient than the
A380, and thus making the Airbus's $13 Billion Dollar investment look
pretty shaky.****

"High Airframe Rigidity" is another key factor in the "Blended Wing &
Fuselage" technology. It reduces turbulence and creates less stress on the
airframe which adds to fuel efficiency, giving the 797 a tremendous 10,000
Mile range with 1,000 passengers on board cruising comfortably at Mach 0.88
or 654 MPH, which gives it another advantage over the tube-and-wing
designed A380's 570 MPH.****

The exact date for introduction of the 797 is as yet unclear, but the
battle lines are clearly drawn in the high-stakes war for future civilian
aircraft supremacy.****
