What do you mean - I believe no A350 will be larger than the 773 ?
Do people know, is ORD taxiway construction/widening needed for the 747-8 too, or just the A380?
Is terminal/gate construction (beyond just getting more/longer jetbridges) needed for the 747-8, or just the A380?
What is the status of plans to do these construction projects?

United doesn't fly or have orders for the 777-300ER, but they do have orders for the A350-900. The A350-900 is 64.7 meters in length compared to the 63.7 of the 777-200ER that United flies today. United has publically stated that they will retire the 747-400 fleet and replace it with the A350. There has been chatter that they may adjust the order for the A350-1000 as an alternative. They have not publically shown interest in the A380 or the 747-800.
The Airbus A350-1000 will be 74.3 meters in length while the 777-300ER is only 73.9 meters in length.
