EVERETT — Boeing to firm up its 787-9 configuration in one year.
“We’re still studying the market [for the -10], but we’re looking to lock configuration one year from now [for the -9],” said 787 program manager Pat Shanahan.
Blogged live from inside the 787 final assembly line.
CORRECTION: The original story carried the headline Shanahan: 787-10 Configuration Locked in One Year. In fact, Mr. Shanahan mixed the two variants and was discussing the 787-9 firm configuration, not the 787-10 which Boeing is still studying the market for. FlightBlogger apologizes for any confusion on the matter.
