Hi,
Saw a side view of the new 787-10 right behind Trump the other day. There appeared (on the side) several greyed in circles with writing next to them, and also a circle without any writing. As they are on the side of the fus'l., am curious as to what they are for ? Are they Ports for "something" ? Thanks, Bob |

Thanks, Bob Those circles are visible in this high-resolution video: http://bcacom.navigon.net/data/publi...dd.php?lang=en News Release Issued: Feb 17, 2017 (1:25pm EST) To view this release online and get more information about Boeing, visit: http://boeing.mediaroom.com/index.ph...95&item=129854 Boeing Debuts 787-10 Dreamliner Airplane scheduled to fly in the coming weeks, deliver to customers in 2018 Photos(2) NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C., Feb. 17, 2017 –*The Boeing (NYSE: BA) 787-10 Dreamliner, the third member of the 787 Dreamliner family, made its debut today at Boeing South Carolina. Thousands of employees at the North Charleston, S.C. site celebrated the event, along with U.S. President Donald Trump and South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster. “What’s happening here at Boeing South Carolina is a true American success story,” said Dennis Muilenburg, Boeing chairman, president and CEO. “In just a few short years, our team has transformed a greenfield site into a modern aerospace production facility that is delivering 787s to airlines all over the world and supporting thousands of U.S. jobs in the process.” The 787-10, built exclusively at Boeing South Carolina, will now be prepared for its first flight in the coming weeks. “This airplane, the most efficient in its class, is the result of years of hard work and dedication from our Boeing teammates, suppliers and community partners in South Carolina and across the globe,” said Kevin McAllister, Boeing Commercial Airplanes president and CEO. “We know our customers, including launch customer Singapore Airlines, are going to love what the 787-10 will do for their fleets, and we can’t wait to see them fly it.” Boeing will deliver the 787-10 to airlines in 2018. The airplane has won 149 orders from nine customers across the globe. The 787-10, the longest model of the Dreamliner family, will grow the nonstop routes opened by the 787-8 and 787-9 with unprecedented efficiency. As an 18-foot (5.5-m) stretch of the 787-9, the 787-10 will deliver the 787 family’s preferred passenger experience and long range with up to 10 percent better fuel use and emissions than the competition. The 787 Dreamliner family is a key part of Boeing’s twin-aisle strategy, which offers a modern, optimized and efficient airplane family in every market segment. Since entering service in 2011, the 787 family has flown more than 140 million people on 530 routes around the world, saving an estimated 13 billion pounds of fuel. # # # Contacts: Elizabeth Silva 787 Communications 425-212-8595 Tim Deaton Boeing South Carolina Communications 843-469-9397 * |
