That thing has been a massive disappointment for the US aviation industry. Cool vid, though.

Probably shopped.

How so? Yes it's behind schedule and some vendor issues, because an all composite aircraft was underestimated in the engineering field and had some early bugs, mostly the -8 configuration.

This is the most technologically advanced commercial aircraft on the market right now.

You know how I know you don't know anything about this aircraft?

Next to the competition, Boeing's newest commercial offering looks like pure genius.

I think that's a little of an overstatement, and too early to tell, the DC-10 was pretty bad at first then went on to be a fine airplane, same with the MD-11, it was so bad when we first got it all of the mechanics called it the scud, it went on to be a good one, I do know that airlines are disappointed because the Feds didn't grant them a common type with the 777, but they always bitch over pennies while dollars are flying out of the window
