I've heard that the customers don't want e re-engined 737. That may be driving their decision making. |

I think the 737 NG airplanes were reengined and rewinged. I suspect they would re reengine it and lighten it with more composites in the airframe |

Boeing is working on an all new replacement for the Renton football. Errorbust is going to re engine the 318/321 series. At current rates of 35 per month and orders backlogs, the new 37 replacement should be ready in about 14 0r 15 years. I remember when I was building 737-100's in the midd-ish 60's they kept telling us that the market would only support maybe 300 airframes because the DC-9 and BAC 1-11 were already in service-musta been the same guy who told Ford thay should expect to sell about 24000 MUSTANGS total in '64. Marketing dogs- When they came out with the NG's, they essentially put a scaled down 767 wing under it and corrected all the design goofs accumulated in the 100 thru 600's. |

Reading Aviation Week about this is fun, Boeing is goint to try to leapfrog the 318-321NEO (New Engine Option) by being first to come out with an all new plane. It said Boeing recently queried its best 737 customers and, universally, they wanted an all-new plane rather than just sticking new engines on the current new generation 737s. |
