The company has already started to gauge interest in the intermediate design with good feedback having been given thus far with nearly sixty potential customers being approached. Much of the experience in designing, developing and building the Model 787 will come into play in the Model 797 program.
The designation of Model 797 is not official as of this writing (November 2017). It is known officially as the New Midsize Airplane (NMA) and the company plans to have the aircraft ready for first deliveries sometime in 2025.
Program Updates
June 2018 - Boeing and Delta Airlines are already in talks to have the carrier become an NMA market launch customer.
February 2019 - Engine-maker Rolls-Royce has removed itself from the running for providing the new powerplants for the equally-new NMA, leaving CFM International and Pratt & Whitney as the remaining two contenders.
Armament
None.
