I read a lot… probably too much, but there doesn’t seem to be a consensus on the internet when it comes to what Boeing will do next in terms of developing its next commercial aircraft .
What does everyone on here think Boeing does next?

The consensus appears to be along the lines of a wide body that’s narrow that can perform widebody missions at narrow body costs in the middle of the market but only the short ones where it can turn quick because it’s got two aisles but no so wide aisles so it’s still light, like a narrow body. So it’s small seats and small aisles but big ones, you know, like comfy because it’s wide but cheap because it small and do 5000nm at M0.85 like a widebody but 0.78 because lifting bodies?
Oh! It’s definitely made of carbon!
In all seriousness I don’t think we know what Boeing will build, there is a lot of speculation and the only thing said by Boeing was around the size of the 321, everything else was speculation by the press.

Boeing tried to do that with the 737MAX but not really successful, after all the 737 design can only be upgraded that much. For a long range narrow body they'd need a whole new design, basically a narrow body copy of the 787.
