I made this thread for anyone who wants to talk about Boeing and it's planes,
mainly the 787 Dreamliner, which is still a hot-selling jetliner.

The plane is in its preflight testing stages, and will soon do its first flight sometime this year. It was powered up (with ground power) for the first time two weeks ago.

The structure has just successfully completed its stress test with the horizontal stablizer.
