I have to admit, for the life of me I cannot see the 757 returning in any way shape or form. I’m somewhat surprised that a journalist with more than a passing interest in the field wrote that up! Unless they were desperate to fill a few column inches and liked the idea so decided to pass the time going over it in their head… :highly_amused:

Supposedly it was quite expensive to manufacture, and it would need essentially a complete re-design anyway to be competitive with what is out there now (in all but its long-thin route niche where there isn’t enough market to justify development spend).

Boeing need to use it as a bridge to the 737 replacement IMO. Common wingbox, common fuselage. Different wings and empennage. Then customers can mix and match capacities and range to suit themselves.

[Dunno about Twin Otter order.]
