Really? The 330/340 class of aircraft is already a widerbodied aircraft that the 777, it is fly-by-wire reducing the weight and technologically ahead of the 777, for Airbus to build their 787 will IMHO be a re-engineering of the 330 putting lighter composites in place instead of the metals that are currently there.

Anyway perhaps they are planning a supersonic dreamliner sized 'craft once they have the 380 launched.
