A plastic 767 that is coming in way overweight, and will barely be able to compete with the a330.
Congratulations boeing.
it's made of 50% carbon-fiber reinforced plastic composite material. but yeah, you could just dumb down a potentially game changing leap in fixed wing aircraft by comparing it to something fisher price makes.
and the weight issues are always present in the first few flight tested planes of any model from almost any manufacturer.
@willowtwf
The weight has to do with that fact that the computer designed wing didn't work.
@stabbytheicepic
No, the plane was already overweight before that. But willowtwf is right, brand new planes come in overweight on the first few of pretty much any new model. That's why stipulations on the plane's weight are standard in commercial airline purchase agreements, especially with the launch of a new model. Boeing will get the weight down, as production proceeds, and a slightly higher weight is no reason to knock this excellent plane that bring so many new and wonderful innovations to the table.

Dumbass, the wing in the picture is working.
