Boeing “redrawing the lines” on the B787 programme

Media reports are today suggesting the B787 may not fly before the end of 2009, potentially adding another six months of delays to the programme, and that a decision on how to implement a permanent solution for production aircraft has not yet been made. Production is rumbling ahead nonetheless, with Boeing now assembling major structures of B787 number seven - the first production model bound for All Nippon Airways.
