Can We Build One for You?

Thanks, but probably not - a little over my budget. But Boeing is amping up its 787 construction schedule. This cnet article shows in pictures how the front fuselage sections are "taped and baked" and then finished in Wichita. After testing, they are shrink-wrapped and flown off to Seattle in an oversize 747 for integration into the rest of the aircraft. Very interesting and the spinoffs from mass manufacturing technology with carbon fiber will undoubtedly find its way into other manufacturing industries giving the U.S. a leg up on the rest of the world.
