With the drama of first flight behind it, Boeing will pick up where it left off when the 787 flight test program was interrupted last June by the need for side-of-body modifications. That schedule calls for earning type certification in 8.5-9 months, followed immediately by first-of-model testing and delivery to launch customer All Nippon Airways. Boeing’s initial plan was for flight testing to begin in August 2007, and deliveries in May 2008.
Pratt & Whitney and CFM International will face off in the upcoming war to win the next-generation single-aisle market following the launch of a 30,000-lb.-thrust geared turbofan (GTF) for Russia’s MC‑21 airliner, and the imminent award of China’s C919 engine to CFMI’s LEAP-X.
Boeing will aggressively ramp up the 787 flight-test program by flying the second airframe as early as Dec. 22, just days after the successful first flight of the prototype aircraft ZA001.
