747-800

[Captain Kevin 586]

Boeing is in the process of dropping the -x00 for all models - soon it will just be 737-8, 777-3, 767-3 etc.

Reading that link, it looks like it would just be a 737-800, 777-300ER, and 767-300ER rather than just 737-8, 777-3, and 767-3.

Yes you are right, apologies, apart from the existing -x models like all 787, 737-MAX and 777-8 and 777-9, and 747-8i and -8f

Correct. These changes are not retroactive.

I saw a documentation about the history of the 747 a few days ago and they said the -8 points out that Boeing has used a lot of technics of the 787 on the new 747 versions like eg the cabin design but also the FBW concerning stuff and the design of the wings (as examples).. In the docu Joe Sutter was interviewed and those were his words...
