Boosted by continuing demand and a hefty backlog, Boeing has announced plans to increase 777 production to 8.3 per month in the first quarter of 2013. The move marks a record rate for the twinjet and comes on the heels of Boeing’s announcement in March to increase 777 production from five to seven aircraft per month in mid-2011. This rate increase, in turn, was brought forward by around nine months, following signs of a strong long-haul market recovery in early 2010.
LOS ANGELES — Amid rising hopes of new international F/A-18E/F sales, Northrop Grumman is studying potential increases in Super Hornet fuselage production to support prospective rate increases at Boeing’s St. Louis factory in 2011 and beyond. The company, which provides the center and aft fuselage sections as a single “shipset” to Boeing, delivered 54 units for the E/F and EA-18G Growler line in 2010, equating to a rate of one every 4.5 days.
Boeing test engineers were planning to complete a high-blow pressurization test of RC001, the first 747-8 Intercontinental, Dec. 17-19, marking a milestone on the road to the start of flight tests.
