As I see the aircraft family change over from the 707 DC-8's and DC-10's I wonder what the aircraft future will look like 25-50 years from now? I think that Boeing will come up with new designs and so will Airbus. I think that Boeing will develop a better version(s) of the 777 and 737. I think that Airbus will advance model(s) of the A319/A320/A340/A3XX. What do you think?
Alex
Then again Boeing may buy out Airbus like they did McDonnell Douglas

The airplane of the future will still have two pilots, but in addition there will also be a dog. The dog will bite the pilots when they touch any of the flight controls.

The new long-range jets will all be seaplanes! La Guardia Marine Air Terminal to the Star Ferry Pier in Hong Kong!

A four-decker seaplane with the ability to carry 1,600 pax and fly at 160,000 ft. at speeds of up to Mach 5, with enough range to circle the globe twice on one load of fuel. STOL capabilities of 100 feet or less, depending on conditions, and, oh yes, all the crew are robots named HAL, and they refer to all the pax as Dave.

What will the F/A of the future be like? The f/a will be a security robot named fraunz that will both greet and bid farewell. He will be placed close to cockpit door, if anyone tries to go near the door his nipples will shoot them (stun only). Oh, and lets not forget he will rotate 160 degrees, for life like affect, to dispense Mcdonalds happy meals for the kids (sorry, no toys choking hazard) and quater cheese meals for adults. If your are a vegatarian, sorry no salad shakers, to messy. To provide for a non-violent cabin, the capt will have a camera in the cockpit to watch for the occasional outburst and will use a remote control to aim shoot with fraunz. Thank you. Have a nice flight.
