Hey I hope you enjoy this new video! Some 370 of you got to see this early as I accidentally pressed the button that I didn't mean to press so the video was live for about a minute this morning, but here's the real version! Make sure to check out Squarespace because this video *literally* would not have happened without their support.

Unbelievable how the video is outdated after only 18 months

The 737 MAX has a great range, of 0km!

I'm from the future, and the max is uh well a little unsafe LOL.

I think that although iPhone names are inconsistent, they're nothing compared to Boeing's system, where 797 is between 737 and 787.

I heard United is removing carpeting from aisles so it will be easier to drag out customers.

Finally a Wendover Productions video about planes.

Planes in the future don't fly, they remain grounded.

Everyone: 737MAX Me: After Boeing 797, how are they going to name their planes?

Ouch, the Max series is going through its paces right now.

Honestly all I want from a plane of the future is an all you can eat buffet.

Correction: Airbus A321XLR is actually the perfect 757 replacement. And all of the US’s big three airlines have ordered it. It can also fly almost 10000 km and Airbus is almost ready with it.

What we hoped for; Boeing 797 What we actually got: Boeing 737 MAX 8- yeah...

I love that Wendover's videos are always *PLANE* and simple

Everybody: Hyped for the new iPhone, Wendover: Hyped for a new plane.

„The industry is only growing and growing“ Covid-19: no EDIT: thanks you for the likes 💪 now I got more here than on tinder

0:32 "More and more people travel by plane each year, and the industry is only growing" 2020: Allow me to introduce myself.

Please make a video about "What happends when a plane crashes?" - insurance, procedures, costs, etc. Thanks

"and the industry is only growing" well that didn't age well

"And the plane industry is only growing" Haha, good one mate

Airbus has - in my honest opinion - a far better market situation than Boeing does. It already released it competitor to the 777X - the A350 (also available in the A350-1000 version) - and is already selling it a great deal, improving it etc. etc. The A321 LR (and possibly XLR) is already filling up most of the gap between the 737/A321 and the B787/A330 - so to develop an entirely new airplane just for such a low demand is just a very dangerous and risky decision. Airbus has the upper hand at the moment....

Making fun of me and my video doesn't even show up in the related section. Thanks KZfaq. (edit: I forget sometimes that people don't know that Wendy and I are friends)

Its incredible how much your production and content quality has changed watching uploads from years past, very good work.

I certainly should be doing something else than watch this

The Plane Fetish Continues!

The plane of the future will just be safer and a bit more efficient.. That's it

A pilotless plane sounds terrifying

Pilotless planes sound scary Because then what do I say when someone ask what I want to be in the future

Lot of assumptions here. In short range market a plane can only beat a train if they get there faster, including embarking. For a train I buy a ticket 5 minutes before departing, climb on and off we go. For a plane, any plane, is driving for 30 mins to airport, then embarking for an hour, security and all the jazz, only then take off, so in most cases, train is faster, at least in Europe.

What about other companies like Bombardier and Embraer? Only Boeing have a plan to fill this gap you mentioned?

Hi from the future, the 797 isn't happening any time soon and the A321XLR seems like the current best replacement for the 757.

Hyperloop?? That thing isn't going to go anywhere

YESSSS PLANE VIDEO

Lol, I was waiting for this

The 757 is just gorgeous

We need you to remake the video with new Airbus A321XLR announcement in Paris airshow . You might reconsider the word “ Airbus is doing nothing! “ Thank you guys ( editing now ) it’s XLR .

You could make a second channel for aircraft. Call it Wendover Airlines.

I'm curious, what is the rationale to start a second channel and split content? One would think that gaining subscribers is difficult and it would be more advantageous to grow a single channel unless the content is radically different. Thanks!

Among the BEST series of videos ... thanks for your reliability & consistency. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Time traveler: hey send over productions how’s the 737 max WP: well it’s the newest and greatest single aisle plane of 2019 Time traveler: oh so it’s before the crashes WP: ... ummm what

0:33 jesus woman if you're texting that long sit down or something.

I'm an airline pilot in Brazil and i fly the 767. I know this problem by heart. But there is still a breakthrough needed on the middle size wide body model. 767's are still less expensive to operate compared to the A350/787.

I say come out with the L-1011-600!

Nice video! I was wondering about this for some years

they should make a 757-8, using the GENx engines

Hyperloop is never going to happen in it's current form. Its a shame it gets all the attention when more practical solutions like maglev traditional trains would do well in their current form, and even better with some new money and research infused into it. I am also surprised a hydrogen fueled aircraft isn't more seriously considered.

8:24 "As the reality of a world without oil nears ... " lol good one

5:42 no one: Airbus:hold my beer

Doesnt the A330-800neo almost perfectly fit the 757 needs?

Hyperloop is less of a threat to airlines much more of a pipe dream.

The Dreamliner is a lovely plane and I can’t wait to see how they’ll top it

0:32 The lady in the white shirt on her phone was standing there for so long

Sponsored by Boeing

Good video...i just don't think your statement at 6:10 is accurate (not to mention contradicts what you say at 8:25)....what analysts think THAT about oil? Anything I've read about oil prices predicts they'll be badly depressed, starting right now.... as solar and electric cars begin to bite into energy demand while fracking continues to push up supply.

Meanwhile the Max got grounded

Your plane videos are so good omggggggg

0:33, that lady who's just standing there on her phone

Flying from Edinburgh to London is already far cheaper than taking the train (About £22 on a budget flight VS £130 on a train)

Hey, I'm from 2024. Development for the 797 hasn't really started yet, but we do have the A321XLR, which can fly 8500km. It's going to make its first airline flight very soon. This comment was made on the 27th of April, 2024.

Riding high speed rail is a pleasure! You have a great view of the scenery as you travel at 300 kph. Flying has become an unpleasant ordeal. Everything from the traffic around the airport to the 4 hr. early check in, the security lineups, the cramped seats, lack of legroom, delays, everything about flying has become a hassle.

I love this channel so much!

Problem with the Electric planes for local rout argument. (I would actually be interested in your response to this) Trains have one major advantage over electric planes. Time not traveling. Have you ever noticed that a train pulls up, stops, off loads, on loads and leaves within a minute or two? Tell me about one time you've seen a plane come in from a flight and take off withing 10 or 15 minutes. Trains don't have to fill up with fuel, or recharge batteries between trips. Trains also don't have to go though pre-flight checks, or safety inspections at every stop they make. The one major inefficiency in trains compared to planes has been friction with the rail. But comparing diesel trains (just because I happen to know this) to other methods of haling freight, planes and trucks are both more expensive, due to fuel consumption. Boats are the only thing that can hall more tons of goods per galleon of fuel then trains. There just is not much friction between steel rails and steel wheels. I acknowledge that the trains we are talking about are not diesel. But we were moving in the direction of electricity already. So with the addition of Mag-Levs and Mono Rails, this inefficiency is being reduced ore even fully eliminated. Modern people carrying trains are also electric and receive their power though the rail or overhead wires rather then having to carry the eminence weight of batteries with them. An added benefit of this was mentioned in my first paragraph, they don't have to stop and recharge or refuel. That leads me into my next point. Recharging an electric plane would take so long that any economic efficiency gained in flight, wold be lost to time sitting on the ground charging. Time is money, if your expensive equipment is just sitting there not making you money, it's loosing you money. Just how long wold it take to charge a plane, That does depend on a lot of variables. I have done research into electric cars in the past. Some of the cars that have a reasonable charge time of *just a few hours* are tiny short range one seater city cars. Most electric cars take between 10 and 20 hours to charge enough to travel over 200 miles. In order to have an electric plane leaving as shortly after the previous one got in, would require so many more planes then is economically feasible because you wold have to have several charging at each sight while one it flying each route. Trains are also capable of running the same number of engines during rush hour as during non rush hour, while not worrying about the number of seats filled to the same degree that a plane wold have to worry. The train can simply add more cars during rush hour, and remove some to conserve power when less people will be riding. (not saying that this is done, just that it is possible) I have watched your video explaining why Trains are more costly then plains, (personnel and long rails), however, you yourself did state that for these local distances, trains are more cost efficient doe to low maintenance costs when compared to planes. So in conclusion, for local short range routes, trains wold be more cost efficient for a company to run then electric planes. Trains are also more convenient to consumers for short local commuters due to their orderly and regular arrival and departure times. ******************************************************************************************** Alright, so how did I do writing a counter argument. I could have put some more time and research into it, but I have dynamic homework to do. So I don't mean this comment to be an attack, just a counter argument to one of the points you mane in the video. Thanks for reading, and I hope to get a response from you Wendover Productions. Your content is great, you get a like on this video from me.

Love flying Can’t wait to see the new planes ✈️

Hello from 2023 and the Boeing 797 has been shelved and the A321LR/XLR has won the hearts of most US Carriers

I’ve been binge watch all of your videos again and all I get now is traveling related ads now. Hahaha

The real question is what comes after the 797?

2:05 In 2013 I seriously flew on a United B757 on a transatlantic flight!

757: exists A321XLR: are you challenging me?

Hey man! Love your productions! :) Just one comment. You've said here that the train will always win against flight on the London to Edinburgh route. I travel this route quite frequently for work, and would always pick flight. Return is almost always cheaper, it's overall faster and Edinburgh airport is not too far from the city itself making it a good alternative. Once again, the price is the main thing for me, so I am looking at that first. If the price of the train would be lower, I'd pick the train. Simply better to be in the same condition for an extended period of time when I can work, and not on train to get to an airport, then to wait in a lobby, then get on a short flight, again take transport to Edinburgh hotel. The train ride is much better in regards to how much work a business traveler can do.

Can't wait to fly from Spokane to Shannon

For pilots the 757 replacement is very exiting because you can only make so much money with the 737 and the 767 or 787 can be combersome

My friend Larry configured the 757 and 767. I always argued with him on ski or fishing trips. I like high wing, aerocomander, B 26, etc. with wide body and landing gear on the fuselage. When you fly, the flying time is minimized by the get ready, get into your seat and getting into the air. I miss the old days when flying meant singing and drinking in the lounge and meeting people from all over the world. Iguana

The a321lr fills that gap

It's funny how A321neo was dissed without any real argument as to why is not an already existing aircraft a viable replacement compared to something that needs 10 years and over $10b to be developed.

Comments from 2017: "Yeah, the 737-MAX is the future of aircraft" Time: *Continues (as it does) into 2020* Comments from 2020: "oh no"

I’ve never thought about this specifically but that graphic showing the 4000 mile range of the plane is actually pretty helpful in visualizing how messed up the Mercator projection is. Looking at it, you wouldn’t think it makes sense you could fly to Stockholm but not Italy however that far north every mile is so stretched out it’s much closer than you’d think. Does a good job showing you how an equidistant circle on a Mercator is not circular at all lol

What about the A321LR?

Please make more videos about planes! I love them!

A321 XLR: *797 you failed, I am first!*

That's awesome . what a plane I can't imagine . Thanks for inform us.

You had my attention until you cited hyperloop as a possible replacement to air travel.

Isn't the A330 a mid range aircraft?

Well, you certainly put the kiss of death on the 737 Max, 797 development, and Boeings long term prospects!

One of the issues facing airliners though compared to trains is the wait. Having to go to an airport often further away from a city, having to be early enough that check-in hasn't closed, having to go through security, waiting for the plane, getting on the plane, flying, getting off, waiting for your bags, then traveling back towards the city center or your next destination. Trains, on the other hand, don't have security checks, don't require check-ins, (you can arrive a few minutes before departure) and you can go straight from the heart of the city, to wherever you need to go, no need to wait to collect your bags.

Dude, what about the A330-800neo? Too long range for you?

What about the A330neo? Doesn't this aircraft cater almost perfectly to the requirement that the NA airlines require?

6:12 sooner then we thought:(

“Right now airbus is doing nothing” We’ll it’s June 2019 and Airbus has the A321XLR selling very well. And Boeing still hasn’t announced their own version yet

Loved this video! I had also predicted that the Boeing 797 would fill the 737-787 gap. Boeing just can't ignore that new sweet spot market. Definitely hope that Boeing officially announces it in the coming years.

Comments contain almost 100% boeing vs airbus fans war

I'm not sure what's more striking in this video, about the way times have changed: The 373 max, the airline industry 'only growing', or Wendover Productions without the dumb jokes we all love so much. 😁

Wendover productions:The industry is only growing Also Wendover Productions:The struggling avation intustry

Well *cough* a321 neo lr *cough* and it is a 757 competitor so *airbus be like* money money money... money money

Why did you re upload it?

Can you make more videos on how airlines decide plane size and how they deal with costs and profits when doing that?

What’s the background music in this video? It’s really good.

The energy density of jet fuel compared to batteries is around 100:1. Until battery technology improves, this will be the major roadblock for large electric airplanes. Lilium has a concept that might work for transporting people for shorter ranges.

Everything is half as interesting as planes.

Don't put faith in hyper loop, it's a non starter

Well I would say all this is now up in the air!!
