How will Boeing name their A/C after the 797?

[James747]

why do they use the 7X7 format anyway?

Despite what everyone else is saying I think this was an interesting question.
Remember before the 787 was given that designation, Boeing's CEO stated that "7E7" couls stay as the title. In all reality after they run out of numbers and we all know that Boeing loves using the "7" then letters seem logical. Maybe we could expect to see 7A7 or 7L7?

Thank you! At least someone ain't critisizing me! Of course it's an interesting question!

its not that it isn't interesting, its that nobody on here is going to have the answer.

No, but surely they could take an educated guess?!

808 would be my stab in the dark.

A little bird told me the following fact
Once upon a time there was the
247 then
307 then
314 then
377 then
707-717-720-727-737-747-757-767-777-787
To the exceptions of the 314 Yankee Clipper and the Seven Twenty, the liitle bird told me to notice all final figure to be the "Lucky Seven" so next to the 797, simply expect to hear of the 807

Well, the 807 is the logical answer, it fits too, 807, 817, 827 etc

My best friend's sister's dad's uncle works for Boeing and said after the 797, Boeing will make no more new planes since they have run out of numbers.

I heard they're gonna start making porta-potties. Starting with model number 0.7

Because when they built the 707 it was the 707th design made.

First of all, Boeing would NEVER name an aircraft with a number other than 7.

Exactly. If you ever decided to look at the names givin to Boeing acft, youll notice there always a multiple of 7, add or subtract to make 7, have 7 in them. For the Add or subtract, It wont or will give you 7, or maby a number with 7 in it.

like the B-52

5+2=7.

I presume the Next Boeing plane will have 2 or 3 numbers that add, multiply, or subtract, or even devide to give you 7 or a number with 7 in it.

Im sorry, but I bet its wrong.
