Abstract
- The article discusses the production of Boeing 787 airplanes by the aircraft company Boeing at its factories in South Carolina and Washington. The article argues that Boeing has used ground and flight testing to reduce the amount of retrofitting needed by early aircraft and that the company has reduced the cost of production. The creation of the assembly line in Charleston, South Carolina, its tooling area, and its workforce are discussed.
