Boeing sets 787 first delivery for Q3
Boeing has announced that it expects delivery of the first 787 Dreamliner in the third quarter of this year.
The new delivery date reflects the impact of an in-flight incident during testing last November and includes the time required to produce, install and test updated software and new electrical power distribution panels in the flight test and production aircraft.
“This revised timeline for first delivery accommodates the work we believe remains to be done to complete testing and certification of the 787,” said Scott Fancher, vice president and general manager of the 787 programme. “We've also restored some margin in the schedule to allow for any additional time that may be needed to complete certification activities.”
The revised first delivery date is not expected to have a material impact on 2010 financial results.
