Title: 787 flying again
Post by: Skul on May 20, 2013, 07:27:04 PM

Today the B787 started flying again out of IAH.
There will be a time of domestic flights, followed by internationals as ETOPS is recertified.
Battery problem appears to be resolved so far.  Maybe.

There is a series of videos on You Tube documenting the process of Rolls Royce building the Trent 1000 Engine for this airplane.
