Yesterday, I joined several dozen journalist at the unveiling of Boeing's new 737 Sky Interior at the company's Customer Experience Center in Renton, Washington. We had a chance to tour the 787 and 747-8I mock ups, as well as get an up close look at the new features of the 737 interior.
What Boeing has achieved here is interior commonality across all its products. Each new aircraft takes design elements first developed for the 787 and adapts them for the wider and narrowbody product offerings. Here are some photos from Tuesday's event.

I'm real taken in by how the 747-8I looks on the inside. It really makes the whole -8 series feel brand new. Pitty it's still made from metal -carbon fibre would have really made a huge difference in terms of perception.
Jon, would be interesting to do an article on how much these interiors have changed since the first 747 was made. Where would one find photos of the origional 747 interior?
