The
article leads one to speculate about Board approval to proceed with the 777X
project through 2019.
Don't
speculate just surmise!
The
engine thing is really dependent on over-all concept plans. This is a Bigger is
Better Boeing concept and Roll-out. Not unlike an Airbus photo campaign, which
neglects the techno talk, and expounds on the virtues of largeness. Engines
keep returning to the conversation like a little child reminding an adult about
its needs for a candy bar.
Engines,
are not at the top of the Board's authority for granting list of things to
announce.
However,
GE goes forward in a pursuit of something big when comes to engines, while
Rolls pursues a conservative neutral stance like a defensive back in
American Football awaits the play before it reacts. I surmise big engines will
be attached to something very big and something very complex, but maintaining a
straight approach on proven technologies from Boeing's Flight Bag of tricks. No
ground breaking progress here, just enhanced 777X design from its vast parts
bin. This is a smart approach and will make a great use of the 777 frame. Don't
make something all-new, use something new to make it all better.
To
surmise is like Sherlock Holmes; make observations and deduce logical
conclusions. In conclusion, Boeing is going to build something big with its just
released technologies from other Airplane programs on the 777X.
