I hope for the sake of the flying public that boeing heeded vince weldon's concerns about composites......

I'm betting on the 18th of December! and a 2nd to follow before the end of the month.

I bought Boeing shares counting on a good flight.
Making a new plane out of plastic is a hell of a challenge and a promising venture.
Go Boeing, the world awaits....

So i have heard. The closer we get to that date we will get more and more confirmations of the 787 spreading her wings soon.

Why did the wing attachment need to be reinforced? Was there a design flaw?

apparently the carbon compisite fittings wernt strong enough for flight, so its good that they delayed it rather than the wings falling off on the first flight!
