Following the life of this aircraft from its initial inception to
the delivery of the first production models, this book begins with
Boeing's initial thoughts concerning a new wide-body transport, how
the original concept changes over a period of months of discussion,
and finally, a description of the final configuration. The
reasoning that went into the final design is explored. Many of the
new and unique features of this airplane are carefully described.
The complex and basically original manufacturing process is
examined, as is the logistics system developed to move large
subassemblies economically and on time. The many features that
Boeing incorporated into the 787 for both safety and greatly
increased passenger comfort are all brought forth and explained in
layman's language. The book also delves into some of the
frustrating problems that the 787 team encountered. Component and
flight testing is also included, as are appendices that collect
information, such as specifications of the various 787 models and a
listing of sales by carrier to date. Throughout the author has
tried to relate the story of the Dreamliner with honesty and with a
view to who might be reading the book.
