As a proud member of the Boeing World Design Team I am also thinking about other projects than the Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental or the Boeing 797 Sonic Cruiser, of course...
Once the full-double-deck and two-engine Ecoliner concept of Boeing ever gets built then it could belong to the legendary 747 Family, too... Because the innovative Ecoliner concept also shares the qualities of performance, elegance, economical efficiency and environmental friendliness with the traditional 747 jetliners... That means the Ecoliner is not a competitor of the iconic 747 design but a completion and an extension to the largest aircraft of Boeing... The Ecoliner's additional space, excellent fuel- and cost-efficiency and operational flexibility (both middle- and long-range flight possibilities) would shed a positive light on the name/word/concept Jumbo Jet... On the other hand the well-deserved prestige of the 747 Family could miracle away the strictly rational and far too modest image of the Ecoliner...
So I think that the iconic Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental and the evergreen and modern Boeing 747-X Ecoliner simply belong in the same category... "Nomen est omen" - according to the saying...
Best wishes, Joseph de la Mikula and Team
