US planemaker Boeing will officially deliver its first 787 Dreamliner to Japan's All Nippon Airways (ANA) later, after three years of delays.
The Dreamliner had originally been scheduled for delivery in 2008, but Boeing has suffered a string of setbacks, the latest being an onboard fire during test flights in January.
The fuel-efficient plane is made from lightweight composite materials.
Boeing plans to make 10 of the planes per month from 2013.
The plane will be presented to ANA in Everett, Washington before being flown to Tokyo where it will arrive on Wednesday.

Who gives a flying shit? I avoid public transport and sexual molestation by the government and fly private .... IF I fly.
The only people to benefit from this thing is the rich. They'll get richer. The rest of us will stand in line to have our genitals groped and fondled, business as usual after 911.

The Airbus 380 is pretty well made too; it is bigger, but the Dreamliner is more aerodynamic and the materials used are quite green.
