Although close in thrust to the Trent XWB-97 in development for the A350-1000, Aviation Week understands part of Boeing’s reluctance to encourage the development of a new, more powerful Rolls engine was that a variant could later be adapted to suit the needs of Airbus should it subsequently develop a growth variant of the A350-1000 dubbed the A350-1200.

Sammen med den nylig annonserte økning i rekkevidde på 787-10, så vil 777X og 787 være en sterk og komplett langdistansefamilie (bortsett fra
VLA).
788 erstatter 763, 789 erstatter 342, 332 og 764, 787-10 erstatter 343, 333 og 772, 777-8X erstatter 77W og 346 mens 777-9X erstatter 744 og 748-I.
