Boeing sees 28,600 new planes over next 20 yrs

That's an average of 1,430 aircraft per year. Amazing!

Here's the breakdown by market segment:

The market for single aisle planes -- currently dominated by Boeing's 737 and rival Airbus' A320 family -- would account for most of the new aircraft, Boeing said, with sales of 17,650 such planes expected by 2026.

But larger, wide-bodied planes would represent the greater share by value. Mid-sized twin-aisle planes -- such as Boeing's 787 Dreamliner and Airbus' A350 -- would account for 6,290 of the new planes, Boeing said.

It expects very large aircraft with more than 400 seats, such as Boeing's 747
jumbo and Airbus' even larger A380, to account for 960 new planes.
Boeing said most growth is expected in the market for planes with 90 to 400 seats, consistent with Boeing's bet that more airlines will want to fly small and mid-sized aircraft between a greater range of airports, rather than fly larger planes between major airports.
It forecast a market for 3,700 new regional planes, with fewer than 90 seats, over the next 20 years. Boeing and Airbus do not build planes aimed at that market.

Boeing sees what's fitting it most !

Hmm, wondering where we'll find the fuel to feed all these a/c...

Sounds about right.

And by then, the A380 should be getting close to reaching its breakeven point of 420 frames ...
