Should Boeing build a brand new aeroplane? Not an upgrade or a stretch, but a clean-sheet, bet-the-company-on-it aircraft. One that could cost over $20 billion to develop. One that, if it fails, doesn't just hurt Boeing; it reshapes the entire industry. Here's the kicker. Boeing is already carrying $53 billion in total debt. It lost $14.3 billion in 2024 alone.
