Not mentioned in the article is how much longer this will tie up Airbus’s launch of the mythical A350XWB. It was previously slated to be intro’d in 2012-13. Since this is a major redesign it will probably add 1.5 to 2 years to the intro. By that time Boeing will be about to release the composite 737 and will be a couple of years from a composite 777. Airbus is so screwed. The toulouse goose is cooked.
All-composite barrels have sealed Boeings fate! Their satanically numbered 7**s are roasting in hell.
