    Rockwell has done a good deal of work on this so I'm sure a few Cyclones have worked on it.

    I have a good friend who does a lot of the non-destructive evaluation of the composites that were used in this plane.

    They deserve a big party, ya know, since they were billions of dollars over budget and a couple years late.

    That's quite a plane though!

    Whole list of reasons why it's supposed to be better but it's probably getting so much attention since it's been hyped up and is now 2+ years behind schedule

    To be fair, what isn't behind schedule with a big government contractor/largest commercial aircraft maker?

    Please note that the 787 is a commercial aircraft, not a government project
