Just after half past eight Swedish time lifted the new Boeing 787 for the first time. Test flight of the new 787 Dreamliner has been delayed for two and a half years. Already in 2004 the company presented its plans for the 787 Dreamliner. But the realization of the model has been limping. Among other things, there have been deficiencies in the design and production, a two-month strike and a shortage of parts. In total, the test flight is set on six occasions. To date, 840 orders with a value of 140 billion dollars out of the model that will be fuel efficient and able to carry 250 passengers on long haul flights. In addition, the plane does not need as much service as today's models as it is largely built of composite materials. According to Boeing, the new design could save airlines millions of dollars. How much money Boeing is expected to cut down on the ordered aircraft is still uncertain. According to Reuters says analysts that the company has invested about $ 10 billion on the project, while the presumed need to compensate the companies that made the orders. Hope for deliveries next year Boeing hopes to begin delivering the first plan for a Japanese Nippon Air in the fourth quarter of next year, but experts believe it may take longer than that. The latest problem the company encountered was that the plane's sides must be strengthened. And there are fears that the large use of carbon fiber can cause more problems.
