New Boeing 7E7 is more fuel efficient than the A380

With the high price of jet fuel and it going higher, I wonder if a big 4
engine gas guzzler like the 380 will be a big business mistake for Airbus?

Airbus goes big but fuel thirsty
Boeing goes for fuel efficiency and high tech

In the long run, Boeing may have chosen the right business path
Another big problem is the limited number of airports this behemoth can
fly into

The 7E7 can go just about anywhere

according to this foto, the Aribus A 380 is on its 3rd rolling


hopefully they'll have a save first flight soon.
