BOEING has released an artist's concept of its proposed 717-300X passenger jet, which could answer for a larger short-range high-frequency airplane. Development and launch of the 717-300X, which has been offered to several airlines, depends on it attracting a sufficient number of orders. The 717-300X would typically carry 130 passengers in a two-class configuration compared with the current 717-200 106 passengers. If launched, delivery of the 717-300X is targeted for the second half of 2006.
