Late? Yup...more than a few problems...especially on the "Fastening" and "Bonding" fronts.
The good news? Someone finally designed a plane out of something other than Aluminum. It's about time. Now, if they can jus' get their heads out of the 60s and build a complete composite structure...they'll be on to something.
'Til then...we've got a materials hybrid that's supposed to be lighter, stronger and cheaper to fly. Kinda like a pseudo 767 updated with newer tech.
Funnything...this bird smacks the Air Bus 300 right up-side the head and should be A LOT cheaper to fly...this bird should sell like crazy in China/Asia. I hope it does. The 300 was a serious slap to the 767 market...so...turn-about with some serious tech is better than fair-play...it's a war that Boeing should win.
Now, if people like Lockheed-Martin could pull their heads out and make this more than a -2- horse race...that would be nice.
Next-up: Who's really gonna win the "KC" battle at the Pentagon?
Man you hit the nail on the head!!!!
I have a friend working on this plane back east, he says the fastening of the bonded structures is kicking there asses.
More jobs here and everyone-else can F.O.
I'm jus' sayin'...
all the way from south carolina
What are some of the wiz-bang features of this new craft?
The wing is the latest since the "Critical" design era.
Pit Row
Bonus, first 777F
The new 747-8 looks cool too.
There is a Long-Range variant of the 787...the -900, I think? Good for 8000+ n-miles.
