A blast from the past - Boeing NLA





As you may recall, Boeing started designing a 'new large aircraft' back in the 90's. This concept was to be powered by 4 high-bypass turbofan engines rated at 310kN each and have a range of 9,086 miles. With a capacity of around 606 passengers, this would have been a worthy contender to the A380. What looks to be a double decker 777 with 4 engines, this giant never seemed to make it past the drawing board. Michael Lleces has requested the NLA wearing a slightly updated version of the United Airlines livery.
