After years of delays , hacker vulnerabilities , and technical hiccups, Boeing is finally reaching the finish line — the 787 Dreamliner is prepared. The primary of the firm’s fantasy flyers was presented to executives of All Nippon Airways this week, scoring ANA a dreamy new jet that promises to extend fuel efficiency by 20 percent compared to similarly sized birds. The 787 owes its fuel savings (and selling point) to a major structure made out of 50 percent composite materials by weight; the much larger A380 sits pretty at 25 percent composite, for comparison’s sake. Despite the official presentation, the inaugural Dreamliner remains just shy of tangible delivery, requiring about a more test flights before beginning domestic service (in Japan) this September.
