 Re: Live chat with Boeing 7E7 expert
If you find spelling errors, sorry, i cant cut n paste directly from chat so i had to type em up and post em, and i was trying as fast as i can.
Do you already have firm committments from Airlines?
- Yes, ANA launched the progeam with an order of 50 airplanes. Three other customers have annoucned that htey will be taking a total of 12 others for a otoal of 62 so far.
How do you see the market moving wiht the high number of orders registered by Airbus with the 380?
- Weve always said there was some need for a larger airplane but overall the larger market by far is for an airplane that offers point to point service and better effiency.
From a telecommunications point of view, could the 7e7 become a mobile telecom node allowing passengers to remain connected at all times?
-That part of the market is developing rapidly. The 7e7 has an open systems architecture that will be able to accomidate new technologies that allow this functionality.
If seat spacing is determined by the airlines, will this negate any benefit of the 7e7 for the passenger?
- No! The larger windows, lower cabin altitude, higher humidity, bigger stowage bins, inproved lighting will all contribute to a better flying experience.
