	Boeing 787 On Schedule Despite Glitch with Composite Fuselage \| Asian American Daily \| GoldSea (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The 33-foot (9.9-meter) prototype of a section of the 787's fuselage was supposed to be used as part of efforts to gain Federal Aviation Administration certification for the airplane's manufacturing process.
		But Boeing spokeswoman Yvonne Leach said the company's engineers called off FAA certification plans after discovering bubbles in the high-tech composite materials used for the section, and decided the part would likely fail the government test.
		Boeing plans a family of 787 jets, with the smallest capable of carrying 250 passengers and the largest 330 passengers.

		Boeing lost the contract to Lockheed's C-5 Galaxy but came under pressure from its most loyal airline customer, Pan Am, to develop a giant passenger plane that would be over twice the size of the 707.
		Boeing hoped that the abilities of the SP would compete and take orders from the Douglas DC-10 and create a niche market, however in the end only a total of 45 were built.
		Boeing announced a new 747 variant, the 747-8 (referred to as the 747 Advanced prior to launch) on November 14, 2005, which will use same engine and cockpit technology as the 787 (It was decided to call it the 747-8 because of the technology it will share with the 787 Dreamliner).

	Boeing XB-29 Superfortress
		The Boeing B-29 Superfortress was the outstanding heavy bomber of the Second World War, and was one of the key instruments in the victory over Japan during the Pacific War.
		The next step was the Boeing Model 322 project of March 1938, which was a design study requested by the Army for a pressurized version of the B-17 with a tricycle landing gear.
		During design, the forward fuselage was extended, increasing overall length from 93 feet to 98 feet 2 inches, and the contours of the streamlined transparent nose were rounded off.

		Boeing engineers from the Puget Sound region of Washington state, Moscow and Canoga Park, Calif., as well as suppliers in Spain and the Netherlands, are hard at work on the detailed design.
		Eleven time zones away from Everett, engineers at the Boeing Design Center in Moscow are helping design the freighter’s enlarged upper fuselage and rear fuselage, as well as the main cargo deck floor and “transition zone” that marries the new structure to the existing airplane structure.
		Boeing engineers have designed a 5-foot extension to the airplane’s vertical fin to aid pilots’ control during flight, but no design changes are necessary to the freighter’s wings.

	Boeing 787 at AllExperts
		As the Boeing 747-400 was also beginning to lose traction, the company proposed two new aircraft — the Sonic Cruiser and the 747X.The Sonic Cruiser was intended to achieve higher speeds (approximately Mach 0.98) while burning fuel at the same rate as the existing 767 and A330 products.
		Boeing is targeting the 787-3 to replace the Airbus A300, Boeing 767-200 and 767-300 used in Japan domestic routes.
		Boeing is targeting the 787-9 to replace the Airbus A330-200 and A340-200, Boeing 767-400ER, McDonnell Douglas DC-10, and Lockheed L-1011.

		The Boeing was launched as a short-range airplane in 1965 to complement the larger 707 and 727 jetliners.
		In December 1985, Boeing decided to offer a longer version of the 737-300 twinjet, with a 10-foot (3 m) fuselage stretch that would add three more economy seat rows and two more first class seats, or 21 more two-class passengers than the 737-300.
		With a fuselage 10 inches (25 cm) longer than the popular 737-200 at 94 feet 9 inches (28.9 m) and the addition of the advanced technologies used in the larger 737-300 and -400 models, the 737-500 was designed to provide airline operators with a replacement for the ubiquitous 737-200 twinjet.

	CI-611 - Section 41 Cracking or a repeat TWA800?
		Boeing sent three investigators to the scene and will send more when the wreckage is retrieved.
		The odds are tipping equally in favour of a section 41 failure and a cargo door event (at this point).
		If it was a section 41 event then the evidence should be clear (on the physical debris plus fairly clear accelerometer and control inputs on the DFDR, as well as cabin press loss).

		The development and testing of these massive 787 composite fuselage sections in Wichita, as well as at Boeing's developmental center at Boeing Field in Seattle, are critical to the success of the new jetliner.
		The challenge for Boeing was not proving that a jetliner fuselage could be made from composites, but coming up with a manufacturing plan that would allow the fuselage sections to eventually be built efficiently and at the production rates needed on the 787 program.
		The first 787 composite barrel, the aft fuselage section some 22 feet long, was rolled out at the developmental center in Seattle in early January.

	Boeing B-47 Stratojet -- Chapter 1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Boeing B-47 Stratojet was the first swept-winged jet bomber built in quantity for any air force, and was the mainstay of the medium-bombing strength of the Strategic Air Command all throughout the 1950s.
		The initial Boeing study was the Model 424, which was essentially a scaled-down B-29 with four jet engines paired in two nacelles mounted underneath the wing.
		Since Boeing's Seattle facility was already heavily committed to the KC-97 tanker and the B-50 bomber, as well as to the conversion of obsolescent B-29 bombers to aerial tankers, it was decided that the production Stratojets were to be built at Boeing's factory in Wichita, Kansas, which had been leased from the government.

	FLUG REVUE February 2006: Boeing builds 747 LCF for 787 support
		The engineers from several countries have no easy task: they are required to adapt three used Boeing 747-400 passenger aircraft to transport the bulky and largely pre-assembled wings and fuselage segments of the 787, whose fuselage diameter measures 5.74m, from Japan, the south of the USA and Europe for final assembly in Everett.
		Boeing has already acquired the three second-hand 747-400's: N747BC, serial number 904, which was formerly flown by Air Algerie, N780BA, serial number 778, which formerly belonged to China Airlines, and their sister aircraft which had previously borne the Taiwanese identifier of B-18271.
		In the otherwise unused section 41, the no longer pressurised nose of the main deck, mounting devices for onboard equipment will be accommodated along with fresh water tank and service water tank.

		The aircraft is equipped with four engines mounted in pods that are attached to the lower surface of the wings in much the same fashion as that employed on the 707 and DC-8 aircraft.
		The aspect ratio 8.0 wing is swept 25° at the quarter chord and is equipped with Fowler-type single-slotted flaps and leading-edge slats.
		The proximity of the bottom of the fuselage to the ground results in a ramp with only a small inclination to the ground; thus, vehicles can be readily driven or pushed into the aircraft.

		In order to accommodate the tail gun, the fuselage of the B-17E was a full six feet longer than that of the D. A Bendix electrically-powered turret containing two 0.50-inch machine guns was installed on the upper fuselage immediately behind the flight deck.
		The nose gun was operated by either the navigator or the bombardier when they were not occupied by their primary duties, and the dorsal turret was normally operated by the flight engineer.
		The temperature in the tail section when the side ports were open was quite frigid at high altitudes, especially in the wintertime.
