Boeing’s latest delay in its 787 schedule involves pushing back first delivery to no earlier than July. The action leaves a string of questions about how the program’s protracted maturation is affecting the company’s long-term goals for dominating mid-sized international services.
Boeing has restarted 787 certification flight tests after an almost two-month hiatus following the inflight electrical fire on the second test aircraft on approach to Laredo, Texas, in November.
Boeing says 787 first deliveries will slide to the third quarter of 2011 following the delays to flight tests and redesign caused by last November’s inflight electrical fire. Announcing the seventh major program schedule shift since the start of the 787 development effort, Boeing says, “The new delivery date reflects the impact of an inflight incident during testing last November and includes the time required to produce, install and test updated software and new electrical power distribution panels in the flight test and production airplanes.”
