Boeing confirms 797: A New Era for Mid-Size Aircraft

Boeing is rumored to be developing the Boeing 797, as speculated among employees and airlines. The company’s announcements suggest that the new aircraft will be constructed in Washington. It is widely anticipated that this aircraft will be named the Boeing 797.

The Boeing 797 is expected to replace the 757, which was in production until 2004. The 757 was a highly regarded aircraft, though it was smaller than the Boeing 737 Max.

The new 797 will fill the gap in the mid-size aircraft market, catering to segments with capacities of fewer than 250 passengers.

Boeing 797: The Next Generation Aircraft Set to Replace the 757
The project was initiated by Boeing in 2015 after determining that the market was ripe for a new design. By 2017, several airlines had shown interest in a composite, seven-abreast twin-aisle aircraft with an elliptical cross-section.

The Boeing 797 is anticipated to come in two variants: a 225-seat version with a range of 5,000 nautical miles (9,300 km) and a 275-seat version with a range of 4,500 nautical miles (8,300 km).

This is all based on a worker's agreement between Boeing and its employees that says nothing else besides "the next aircraft will be built in Washington". No type confirmation, no date, *NO DEVELOPMENT ANNOUNCEMENT*, it could be a new plant for a pre-existing plane or a promise to build the 797 whenever they get around to it. This says nothing.

I personally would expect Boeing to make at least 1 more new plane between today and whenever they cease to exist. When that will be? Absolutely no idea. Could very well be 2030s. This is the equivalent of saying "Apple confirms iPhone 27 by stating they don't plan on going out of business anytime soon"

Not to mention, the workers have declined this agreement and began to strike as of recently.

This is all just AI clickbait

One thing needs to be made clear. 321XLR wing span is shorter than 36m. Thats why it is giving the big heebie jeebies to Boeing. Thats why A320NEO family covers 737 to 757 market entirely, and in other words, Airbus proved that short to medium range market can be covered by a single type of aircraft. Competing against single family of A320NEO with 2 different aircrafts would be extremely stupid idea.

Catalog price for a 737-8 MAX is the 797 priced at $65M is not good information, since 797 is supposed to be a larger and more modern airplane
