Boeing is studying development of an advanced 777 derivative with a composite wing as well as all-new and 787-10 stretch concepts to counter the emerging threat of the Airbus A350-1000, but it insists the study has not assumed priority over the delayed 737 replacement exploration.

Since it became clear that it was gaining unprecedented orders for the 787, Boeing has acknowledged that it might need a second final assembly line. But it has put off saying much more. Now CEO James McNerney says the company is “actively looking” at such a prospect. Officially, just where it will be located and when it will be opened is unclear. “Eventually, I believe we will do a second line,” McNerney said last week during the Paris air show. “The question is when.”
