- Is the Boeing 747-300 the largest commercial passenger aircraft
- in the world? Is the -300 the latest version, or are there
- newer, possibly larger stretched versions of the 747?
-
- I've heard Boeing, McDonnell-Douglas and Airbus all have plans
- in the works for Really Big Planes in the 600-700 passenger,
- 7500-8000 mile range. Does anyone know if these planes are
- really going to get built, or is this the usual "if we can
- pre-sell a couple of hundred, maybe we'll really build it?"
- Does anyone have model numbers, specs (passengers, range), or
- projected delivery dates? These numbers come from memory, and
- I have no faith in them at all:
-
- Company Model Delivery
- ------- ------ --------
- McDonnell-Douglas MD-11 1993
- Airbus AE-400 1994
- Boeing 777 1995-6
