Boeing’s 787 program tops 200 hours of flight

The Boeing Co.’s 787 program has surpassed the 200-hour mark of flight testing.

The company noted the milestone on its 787 flight test Web site this morning.

Boeing has three Dreamliner jets in flight testing, adding the latest 787 just last week.

The first Dreamliner, which took its maiden flight Dec. 15, has flown more than 134 hours in the last two and half months. The second 787 has logged in more than 65 hours of flight time.

Boeing said on Friday that its next 787, the third Dreamliner produced and the only one fitted with a partial interior, will fly in March rather than late February.
