Boeing has announced its second 787 has begun the final stage of construction. This comes a couple of days after it was revealed the mid-fuselage section, built by a supplier in South Carolina and transported to Washington on the Dreamlifter, was in a more completed state than the one built for the first 787. The shortcomings of finishing the section on that first copy are at the epicenter of the nine month delay of the program.
Including all 787 suppliers around the world, there are now 21 Dreamliners in various stages of construction.
