>> And don't quote me projects older than 10 years.

Pretty sure you ignored that part. Yes, Boeing used to do great engineering. gsibble didn't deny that. The issue is the last decade or so.

By limiting it to a decade, and a lot of the latest versions of the programs I mentiones are actually quite recent developments, just shows how ignorant OP is when it comes to aerospace. 30 years ago is, in aerospace, basically yesterday. That things on the civilian side sped up is largely due to the 787.

At considering 747-8 just another 747, no idea where to start... That as stupid as calling the MAX just another 737, we all agree I hope that this is not the case.

You're still not giving me any examples of anything they've done successfully in the last decade while I gave plenty of examples of things they've fucked up.

I gave you plenty of recent examples where Boeing did a decent job, excluding MAX of course. I also tried to explain that your limit of ten years doesn't make any sense in aerospace where cycles are more like 30 years. But hey, you wanna hate Boeing go and hate Boeing, plenty of reasons for it if you search for them. Being uncapable as an aerospace company is none of them so, trying to fram eit like that is just showing a certain level of ignorance about the whole industry.
