>>1387078Boeing apparently wants to replace the 747 with pic related, powered by massive engines twice the size of GE90's.
They're so big the wing has to be mid-mounted rather than bottom mounted, to allot for ground clearance. Consequently, about a dozen rows on the bottom deck are cucked out of window seats.
IMO to save development costs, they should rework this design into a trijet powered by 3 GE90's, with the #2 engine mounted externally between a V-tail. That way they won't have to disassemble the entire tail to maintain the #2.
