> Can you imagine anyone taking delivery of a newly built 737 in 10 years?
..yes? Companies are still placing orders, despite knowing how long the backlog is. I also expect the 737s will still be sold in 20+ years time, much less 7-10.
747s were in commercial production for 54 years (1970 to 2023).
