Check 6 Revisits: 7J7, Boeing’s Lost Airliner
Boeing never built the 7J7, but its legacy continues to be felt to this day. Listen in to hear how technology once studied for the highly advanced program could re-emerge on the company’s next new airplane almost 40 years later.

Designed in an era of spiraling fuel costs, the 7J7 was ahead of its time. The program marked a profound change in the way Boeing did business and designed its airplanes.

787 Allegations: Boeing Over A Barrel
Boeing acknowledges that production-quality issues meant the first 1,000 or so 787s delivered did not meet its specifications. But it insists the productions issues have been corrected, and that the in-service fleet is not at risk.
A Boeing engineer has come forward to challenge these claims, sparking a new round of scrutiny for the beleaguered manufacturer. Aviation Week Network's Jens Flottau, Sean Broderick and Graham Warwick break it all down.
Customer Reviews
Highly expert but sometimes myopic
Despite my score, I strongly recommend this podcast to anyone who is interested in aviation. The journalist have good access and deep expertise. However, the outlook episodes with a forecast from Accenture are full of current business school buzzwords with little substance. A few years ago they said block-chain software would transform aerospace. This year AI will transform aerospace. How exactly will that happen? Did the block-chain revolution ever do anything? I never hear any follow up on previous predictions.
A must for following the aviation industry
