The proverbial Middle of The Market (MOM) aircraft could be China swinging for the fences. Remember when the 757 was vogue now it's still
vogue. China came to Boeing this week and got me thinking, why? Somebody must
have something up its sleeve.
The 757 segment is the last untapped Boeing resource for the
decade. China has a need for people movers throughout its continent and its
surrounding region. What better of a way of suppressing the demand, with becoming the launch customer of an all new clean sheet MOM. It would be a 200-270 seat oval
shaped wonder-kin of Boeing. It would establish a 5,000 mile parameter for
China. Seven across dual aisle seating, and as airport compliant as the 737 MAX.

Keep it
secret? You Betcha, you'd better keep it secret. Did China order it? No they
didn't, but the caveat may have been in the 300 plane order China made with
Boeing. How about a little clause of being the launch customer when
Boeing announces the new flying Oval with 777 like wings, 787 like avionics and
engines and Max like Aluminum dynamics (Advanced technology wings and laminar flow characteristics installed).
Call it, ??? I'm working on the moniker. Currently it’s down to:
- Continental
Drift
- The MOMinator
- NapLiner
I never worked in advertising and it shows.
