New problem with 787?


Posted at 10:04 am by Michelle Dunlop

Yesterday, the Boeing Co. confirmed that it had finished installing the structual reinforcements needed on its first 787 Dreamliner.

Today, the Wall Street Journal, in this story, describes a how a new problem was uncovered with the 787 while fixing the last one.

Boeing told the publication that the Dreamliner remains on track to fly by year's end. Dec. 22 is the anticipated date of first flight.

In this blog post, Boeing's Randy Tinseth discusses the 787's progress. Several readers question Boeing's process -- of fixing airplane one before validating the fix on the static test plane -- and ask about the WSJ story in the comments section.
