Boeing 787 first flight announced

The first flight of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner will take place
by the end of 2009, the company has announced.

Boeing also said it hoped to deliver the first plane for service
in the last quarter of 2010.

There have been a series of delays in the development of the
aircraft, and it is now running almost two years behind its
original schedule.

Boeing chairman Jim McNerney said the extra time would enable
the remaining work to be completed.

The delay was partly caused by an area within the side-of-body
section of the aircraft which needed to be reinforced, Boeing added.

The company hopes to be making 10,787 planes per month by the
end of 2013, and last month said it already had 850 orders.

It also revealed that it had received 13 new orders for 787s
between April and June, but that airlines had cancelled 41 others.
