Boeing announces more B787 progress, is Embraer moving to China? - Suppliers Share Wrap

Boeing announced it has completed another milestone in getting the much-delayed B787 ready to leave the ground. The company completed the wing-to-side-of-day fix for the first airframe, a "significant step toward first flight". The modification will be tested on the static airframe by the end of the month, giving the company a one-month window to conduct the B787 test flight before its end of 2009 deadline.
