Ebook free download textbook Boeing 787 Dreamliner

Description

With the launch of its A380, Airbus made what looked like an unbeatable bid for superjumbo supremacy. But archrival Boeing responded: Not so fast. Boeings 787 Dreamliner, scheduled for its maiden flight in August 2007 and full-scale service in 2008, has already generated more excitement—and more orders—than any commercial airplane in the companys history. This book offers a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the first all-new airplane developed by Boeing since its 1990 launch of the 777. With hundreds of photographs, Boeing 787 Dreamliner closely details the design and building of Boeings new superjumbo, as well as the drama behind its launch. Here are the key players, the controversies, the critical decisions about materials and technology—the plastic reinforced with carbon fiber that will make this superjumbo super lightweight. And here, from every angle, is the Dreamliner itself, in all its gleaming readiness to rule the air.
