Boeing Schedules First Test Flight of New 787 Dreamliner

Finance World News Update by EQUITIES Magazine

Nearly two years after the new, fuel-efficient plane was supposed to fly, Boeing Co. is set to make the first test flight of its 787 Dreamliner.

 

The plane is promising to save airlines million of dollars in fuel and maintenance costs due to its lightweight carbon and titanium build. Slowed by a shortage of bolts, faulty design and a two-month strike, the plan still has a long way to go before it is ready to take passengers.

 

Stocks of Boeing (NYSE: BA) were down 3 cents, or .05 percent, to $56.02.
