The first General Electric GEnx-1B powered 787 has returned to flight June 29, marking the gradual resumption of the test tempo planned for the fleet after the interruption caused by last week’s horizontal stabilizer inspections. First back into the air was ZA002 with a flight to test autopilot stability and control functionality on June 29, having resumed flight testing on Sunday, June 27. Another test aircraft, ZA003, also flew on Sunday, when it returned to Boeing Field, Seattle; from Pinal Air Park, Marana, Ariz.
Boeing is "resequencing" the 787 production flow in September following the decisions of some early customer airlines to defer deliveries. Boeing 787 VP and General Manager Scott Fancher says, “Delivery dates will be adjusted,” but adds the overall number of aircraft to be delivered remains unaltered for 2010 and 2011. What will change, he says, will be the order and number of specific deliveries “within the year” as a whole.

Lockheed Martin’s campaign to convince customers that F-35 Joint Strike Fighter costs will be below Pentagon estimates faces key tests in coming months. First is signing a contract for the next batch of production aircraft at prices at least 20% below those Pentagon estimates. Second is persuading international partners struggling with budget deficits to stay on board the program.
