The Boeing 797: What’s The Latest?

Boeing has often dominated the headlines in recent years for all the wrong reasons. For example, the Boeing 737 Max crashes, quality concerns, poor delivery numbers, FAA oversight, massive cost overruns on military and space contracts, and delays with its Boeing 777X. However, the development of a clean-sheet new aircraft could offer Boeing a chance at redemption, a return to cutting-edge innovation and the opportunity to pull ahead of Airbus. At the center of this is the New Midsize Airplane (NMA) dubbed the Boeing 797. And yet some say that the boat has already sailed for Boeing.
