Paper On The Ground Says Boeing Sets UP 797 Office

Boeing 797 Office is phase one of setting up.


A memo was discovered saying Mark Jenks will lead the 797 program forward, but that's not all. The former 787 program chief will also lead a group towards making a way forward for new designs and innovations for its aircraft making. My own take.

The slip of information is not a confirmation for a 797 program commitment or announcement for a the next "airshow debut", but it does validate more money is being spent for office space having big blue doors with 797 stenciled on it.

The Paris airshow 2017 offered a "797" teaser and it may announce as early as 2019 as a follow through at the next Paris Airshow and right in front of the Airbus Pavilion😜

Even though it was earlier stated by Winging It, (an 797 announcement would come at Farnborough 2020), this latest on-the-floor memo indicates a ramp-up for the next Paris extravaganza in 2019. Boeing is further along than anticipated with its 797 concept.
