Default First Look Inside The 787

Here are a couple articles on the 787. Slowly but surely is what comes to my mind. Look forward to flying on one in the future.

From Seattle Times:

The Everett final-assembly line of Boeing's 787 Dreamliner buzzed Monday with energy and activity as mechanics hustled to complete four airplanes lined up nose-to-tail.

It's a busier beehive than Boeing planned for. The sections of the first Dreamliners arrived lacking much of the wiring and systems that the company's major partners were supposed to install, and Boeing mechanics have been painstakingly hand-building these planes.

But Pat Shanahan, head of the program, said Monday on the first public tour of the production line that the plane now at the back of the assembly bay marks a turning point. That 787, Dreamliner 3, will be built almost the way Boeing originally planned.
