Airliners last long enough they shouldn't be named "new" or "next". Airbus wasn't alone in such a mistake. The 3rd generation Boeing 737 was called the "Next Generation" to sound like a Star Trek series current at the time of its design. 737NGs were built from 1996-2020 (civilian models) and still fly. But there's nothing "next" about them now. The following generation "MAX" has managed to destroy the 737's reputation to the point there won't be another "next". #aviation #avgeek #travel
