Dreamliner One, Boeing’s first 787, has been re-powered-on for the first time since before the 57-day IAM strike, Boeing confirms.
The aircraft’s electrical systems were reactivated on Tuesday as the aircraft continues its sprint to complete its first flight by June 30th.
The electrical system activation testing first began on June 11, 2008 and was completed nine days later.
ZA001 currently occupies a slant assembly position on the 767 line, two doors down from the 787 final assembly line where it has been since January 2nd.
