Qatar Airways yesterday flew its first Boeing 787 to Doha, following the previous day’s ceremonial handover of the aircraft in Seattle. Two other 787s have been delivered, but these are at Boeing’s Victorville, Calif., facility for work on their inflight entertainment systems. The timing of these initial deliveries was in question until recently. In early October, CEO Akhbar Al Baker threatened that Qatar would further delay formal acceptance of his airline’s first 787 unless its GEnx-1B engines received new lubricant coatings on the fan mid-shaft.
LOS ANGELES — Boeing and NASA are preparing to start a new, potentially riskier phase of flight tests of the X-48C blended wing body (BWB) research aircraft at Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards AFB in California. The unmanned aircraft, which notched up its 100th flight on Oct. 30, is a rebuilt, twin-engine derivative of the three-engine X-48B tested between 2007 and 2011.
