Country: | Yeah that would of looked better, that is how the other 747 Cargo's opened so I would assume so.... Look forward to seeing the Dreamliner.

Country: | You got that right Lanc. Love the long legs of a 757. Terrible plane to fly in though.

Country: | It is a purpose built aircraft and I am sure that after the 787s have been built and there is no need for this thing it will end up in a museum some where.

Country: | Not likely. Look at the Super Guppies. Besides, outside cargo will likely support the handful of aircraft in some fashion post 787. Be it next generation aircraft production or private 135 operators.

Country: | Eventually. The Guppy and Super Guppy made quite a name for itself. Even hauling Franco-German Airbus parts.

Country: | I think it is one hell of an ugly aircraft.
I would be so afraid the hinges would fail and the nose would open up in flight. Hightly unlikely though with all the wind.
