Yea I remember one of my professor’s at MTSU talking about how much it costs to create this plane and how much work they had to put into it before they finally made the perfect masterpiece for this airline to make them billions.

Partly, the reason would be because ticket prices have shot up in this current economy along with first class seats ranging from 2k and above. So expensive!

Wow I can\’t wait to get a ride in one of these enlarged units. I\’ve ridden coach all my life and will definitely do first class when these are launched. BTW radical green women have thin lips and flat feet, and ruin everything for other people.

Well done Boeing, lovely plane and clean with it. You will never satisfy the radical greenies, they want us all to go back to living in caves. Just like cars aircraft are much, much more efficient now. Do the sums and you will find that there are too few humans, we have not been here long enough, we are not intelligent enough and just too puny to have any effect on the world’s vast, complex, fidgety climate

Keep on flying!

Marvelous Boeing 787! Wow, is that the next Air Force One?
Will a future President be onboard; one who’ll rely on the FOOD section of Executive Order #12919 ( signed by President Clinton on June 3rd of 1994 ) to END a rather ban on a plant that competes with oil, cotton, timber, synthetics, aluminum & steel?

I’m in search of anybody out there interested in one of these vital new innovations:

Auxiliary / Emergency Electric Motor Pod ( on a retraction mechanism ) – purpose: Saves the collective ass of the pilot, flight crew & anyone else onboard at the time of in-flight engine failure. I can guarantee 90 – 120 minutes of ( quite impressive horsepower ) in the event of sudden engine failure. Key enabling technology ( one of many ) is the new lightweight lithium ion polymer batteries. Everything else is confidential.

t t g r t h o m a s @ y a h o o . c o m

Electric Motor, Fuel Cell and ( refrigerated ) Liquid Hydrogen Powered ” Life – Flight ” Search & Rescue and Medical Hovercraft – Basically, it’s just a 4 rotor helicopter with a gyroscope in the middle and perhaps it’s even all-weather G.P.S. auto-pilot capable. This one is both private and VERY confidential. I say nothing further unless YOU step up to the plate with help in one or both of these arenas:

* management

* funding

Please contact me at the e-mail address above if sufficiently intrigued.

Thankyou Very Much,

People in this country want to gripe about the ecosystem. But when a company like Boeing tried to bring down some of the harmful polutants, people just want to gripe more. If Boeing made the effort to bring it down 5% people should be happy. After all they were not FORCED to, it was a company decision. As for saving money on the fuel, think of all the money that Boeing SPENT on development of this aircraft. This aircraft has also caused many of jobs to be created because of it. So treehuggers be happy with what you get, the enviroment did not get this way in one day and it will not be changed back in one day.

How fuel effecient and eco-friendlier will this airplane actually be? Consider that the fact the airline industry “IS NOT” regulated, or has to submit or be required to follow any global pollution mandates or report it! I find it hard to believe or trust this industry. They are “GREENWASHING” everyone!

Boeing fan: The regional temperature of Tucson or Vegas does not mean anything in regards to the average global temperature. There are record lows occurring in other places as I write this.

@ all those saying that Boeing is only reducing fuel consumption to make profit, not benefit the environment:

Are you saying you’d rather that Boeing didn’t increase fuel efficiency so that you could continue to hate them for polluting the environment?

@ all those saying air travel isn’t necessary:

It is vital on so many levels. It has opened up the whole world to all the many different cultures and ideals. Without people visiting different countries and exchanging views and coming to understand one another, can you even begin to imagine how much worse our relations with Russia, China, Iraq etc. etc. would be? Without air travel we’d know nothing of these countries or what happens inside them.
