Greetings evryone

I am currently visiting Boeing in Everett, and could see the B787 (in fact to day there is a flight at 0700 local time) and made a visit to the production lines.
Stop speculating the bird is magic, and Boeing has all the necessary knowhow to take all the challenges, everything is new in this airplane, NO BLEED (except for Anti Ice) the B787 is an AC/DC animal, no need for fuel tranfer in flight trailing edge will extand .5 to 1 degree during flight to move the c of g, expected fuel figure to be 15 to 20 % better than the B767! engine nacelle chevron design noise reducers give better than stage 4 EPNBs and so on and so on, the bird is magic.
Weither we like it or not While people are busy speculating, Boeing is busy working
Regards
