Description
...inside the Boeing Future of Flight Building in Everett, Washington.
...this hall advertises advantages of Boeing's airplanes in production at its Paine Field plant...the newest 747s, 777s. And the brand new 787 being assembled from subassemblies manufactured by subcontractors in Japan, South Korea, China, Canada, USA, Australia, England, Sweden, France and Italy.
...the revolutionary tag comes in part from the fact that more than 50% of the 787 is made from fiber reinforced plastics (composites). For example, by manufacturing single-piece molded fuselage sections, the design eliminates the need for 1,500 sheets of aluminum and between 40,000 and 50,000 fasteners (rivets).
...Less weight, more strength equals more room for passengers, extended range, fuel savings and reduced maintenance costs. At least that's what the signs say:-)
