Dreamliner finally takes a bow

Monday, 8 August 20113 min read

Boeing has finally rolled out its 787 Dreamliner after several years of delays.

The airline manufacturer will deliver the Dreamliner to launch customer All Nippon Airways next month in Tokyo.  The plane is the first commercial aircraft to be made mostly of carbon composites or super durable plastic and Boeing says it could use 20% less fuel than conventional planes

Boeing has more than 800 orders for the 787 Dreamliner.  In the UK, Thomson will take delivery of eight of the aircraft in 2012.
