Boeing to delay 787 test flight
- Share via
Boeing Co. will delay the first test flight of the 787 Dreamliner beyond the fourth quarter because of the just-ended machinists strike.
No new time frame for the flight has been established, a spokeswoman for the Chicago company said.
The 787 had already been delayed three times and was 15 months late before an eight-week-long machinists strike that ended Sunday.
Boeing said Tuesday that the program suffered another setback after it discovered that about 3% of the fasteners used to hold the jets together had been improperly installed.
