Boeing Moves Towards New Planes

maliabu writes "Boeing has named its new plane DreamLiner with plans for its future, which is set to fly in 2008. It'll be interesting to see how 'internet-ready' this 7E7 is. It can be very entertaining for all ages as you can brower the net, check emails, weather, watch movies (on demand), listen to music (on demand) or even cut codes some 30,000 feet in the sky! These articles also stated that "The 200-seat 7E7 is meant to replace [a faster plane called] Sonic Cruiser as Boeing's next new major commercial initiative" " I think most people following the airplane builders knew the Sonic Cruiser was dead before birth; but I still don't see how this plane is going to solve Boeing's sales problems.

    Now that I have used the scary word to get your attention. I hope the don't run windoze up there. All the terrorists would have to do is send in a bit of a virus or blue-screen it. imagine all geeks are terrorists.

    But really, don't bother with any of this stuff. Just amke them bigger and more comfy. As a 196cm (6'4" - i think thats how u do it) guy planes are pretty cramped places.
