Chickenstalker,

The 737 design has reached its max (heh) potential. There’s no more milk to squeeze out from this cow. Boeing has to bite the bullet and design a new plane from the ground up. Surely those billions in tax payer funded military contracts can be invested in R&D.

from the ground up

hehe :)

The_v,

4 years later around 150 new airplanes are still sitting on the tarmac as the crews fix around 6-7 per month.

It’s pretty bizarre to drive past where they store/repair them in Moses Lake and see them all.

Didn’t know, are they planes that never sold? Or were grounded? Or just don’t have the resources to repair them?

The_v,

Mostly still grounded planes in need of repair.

There are a few planes that were ordered by Russia and Ukraine that can not be delivered due to the war. There are also a few planes that are unsold.
