by Michelle Dunlop Despite postponing the first flight of its 787 Dreamliner, Boeing is continuing pre-flight tests on its first two 787s.
And the company is putting its first Dreamliner through final gauntlet tests before progressing on to low speed taxiing.
Boeing still hasn’t given a new schedule for first flight.
Today, analyst Howard A. Rubel of Jefferies & Co. Inc. reduced his 787 delivery projection for 2010. Rubel adjusted estimated deliveries to 18 from 24 with a three month delay.
That’s a more positive assessment of the latest delay than others on Wall Street are suggesting. Morgan Stanley sees no deliveries until 2011.
