In 2013, the second year of service for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, a widebody jet airliner, several aircraft suffered from electrical system problems stemming from its lithium-ion batteries.Incidents included an electrical fire aboard an All Nippon Airways 787, and a similar fire found by maintenance workers on a parked Japan Airlines 787 at Boston's Logan International Airport. [100] Originally scheduled for 5.mw-parser-output .sr-only{border:0;clip:rect(0,0,0,0);height:1px;margin:-1px;overflow:hidden;padding:0;position:absolute;width:1px;white-space:nowrap}1/2 hours, the test flight was shortened to three hours with the pilots wanting to complete the flight under visual meteorological conditions while visibility and cloud ceiling were low. It has a new compressor system based on the compressor in Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engine and a new turbine design for extra thrust, up to 78,000 lbf (350 kN). This strategy is sustainable only as long as orders are good and delivery rates are increasing. [30] Boeing assigned global subcontractors to do more assembly work, delivering completed subassemblies to Boeing for final assembly. [161] Other 787 operators have reported similar fuel savings, ranging from 20 to 22% compared with the 767-300ER. [205] Composites are used on fuselage, wings, tail, doors, and interior. [43][44] Since 1995, the company has agreed to pay US$1.6 billion to settle 39 instances of misconduct, including US$615 million in 2006 in relation to illegal hiring of government officials and improper use of proprietary information. [97] In December 2011, the National Labor Relations Board dropped its lawsuit after the Machinists' union withdrew its complaint as part of a new contract with Boeing. On December 13, 2018, the 787th Boeing 787 was delivered to AerCap. Japan Airlines flight 123. [193] Shortly before doing so, he and Conrad Westervelt created the "B&W" seaplane. [206] Boeing expects these developments to make the 787 significantly quieter both inside and out. The Department of Transportation secretary Ray LaHood stated the administration was "looking for the root causes" behind the recent issues. Boeing agreed to a cleanup agreement with the EPA in 2017. The worst-affected airlines, those in the United States, had been considered the most likely customers of the Sonic Cruiser; thus the Sonic Cruiser was officially cancelled on December 20, 2002. [226] Battery charging is controlled by four independent systems to prevent overcharging, following early lab testing. The 747X would have lengthened the 747-400 and improved efficiency, and the Sonic Cruiser would have achieved 15% higher speeds (approximately Mach 0.98) while burning fuel at the same rate as the 767. Sua capacidade de passageiros varia de 242 a 335 passageiros. [11] Early concept images of the 7E7 included rakish cockpit windows, a dropped nose and a distinctive "shark-fin" tail. There were also 787 new cases from tests on 4,690 individuals, taking the cumulative total of positive tests to 63,723. Global Leadership Coalition, a Washington D.C.-based coalition of more than 400 major companies and NGOs that advocate a larger International Affairs Budget, which funds American diplomatic and development efforts abroad. [28] Boeing initially priced the 787-8 variant at US$120 million, a low figure that surprised the industry. [290] Air China started a 787-9 route between Beijing and Chengdu in May 2016. '"[9], The replacement for the Sonic Cruiser project was named "7E7"[10] (with a development code name of "Y2"). In September 2011, the 787 was first officially delivered to launch customer All Nippon Airways. Firefighters "tried fire extinguishing, but smoke and flame (flame size about 3 inches) did not stop". [279] [375][376], On April 22, 2016, the FAA issued an airworthiness directive following a January 29 incident in which a General Electric GEnx-1B PIP2 engine suffered damage and non-restartable power loss while flying at an altitude of 20,000 feet. [175] In March 2020, Air Tahiti Nui executed a record commercial flight of 9,765 mi (8,486 nmi), from Papeete, Tahiti to Paris, on a route that would typically refuel at Los Angeles but was able to fly the Boeing 787-9 non-stop because it was "nowhere near full" due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Its cruising airspeed is Mach 0.85 (488 kn; 903 km/h). The final concept is SUGAR Ray, which is a wing body hybrid. Employment numbers. *Overlapping production times like between the 747-400 and the 747-8 have been decided in favor of newer models, This page was last edited on 28 February 2021, at 16:29. On July 8, 2007, the prototype was rolled out without major systems, and experienced multiple delays until its maiden flight on December 15, 2009. [409] Ethiopian Airlines was the final operator to temporarily ground its four Dreamliners. )", "Jet makes history on flight from Australia", "Virus creates world's longest passenger flight", "Boeing celebrates 787 delivery as program's costs top $32 billion", "Boeing 787 unit loss declines, but deferred costs rise", "Boeing Pursues Fresh Deal With Spirit AeroSystems", "Will 787 program ever show an overall profit?
