Default All Things 787

A new video from Boeing on the testing of the Dreamliner. Although a little promotional, it still gives a good coverage of all aspects of the flight test program.

Quote:
It would take a cast of hundreds and locations across the globe. Scientific photographers on the ground and in chase planes would capture much of the action. In the end, in addition to rich test data, the Boeing 787 would complete flight testing with incredible images of its journey captured on video. Take a behind the scenes look at flight testing the 787.

Lufthansa and Air Lease Corp (ALC) are both interested in being the launch customer for the B787-10X.

When i was tehre last year, they were saying as soon as they started delivering them, they would really push through delivery and get it going fast... Nice to see the delivery process speeding up!

Hi Mark

At least 19 that I know of ; Boeing has 10 under flight test, ANA has 7 and Japan Airlines 2.

Another 25 or so have been built and are in storage awaiting modifications or undergoing varous ground trials.

Cheers

Bob
