Final assembly of the first Boeing 787 is done! A few hours ago the first “Dreamliner” left the assembly line.
Credits to Charles Conklin “SEAchaz” from a.net for taking these great photos!
The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is a mid-sized, wide body, twin engined jet airliner by Boeing’s Commercial Airplanes unit and scheduled to enter service in May 2008. It will carry between 210 and 330 passengers depending on variant and seating configuration. Boeing has stated that it will be more fuel-efficient than comparable earlier Boeing airliners. It is also be the first major airliner to use composite material for most of its construction.

Its wingspan is incredibly long for that size of airliner.

Hi Roman,

You can find my A380 pics also here: http://blog.flightstory.net/9/my-a380-photos/

Can July 8th come faster! I can’t wait any longer for the Dreamliner livery on the actual Dreamliner! Oh, and lets see if the 797 is any better.

Boeing’s Photo Store for enthusiasts is up with 7878 pics at Pictopia – museum grade photographs, framed and unframed are available.
