Boeing Dreamliner Makes Emperor Palpatine Style Entrance
Yesterday, on 7.8.07, Boening's new 787 Dreamliner debuted in Everett Washington in a scene that reminded us of the Emperor's arrival on the Death Star at the beginning of Return of the Jedi. Point being, it was definitely an odd scene. Don't believe us? Just watch the video above.
To date, Boeing has won 677 order for the 787, on deliveries through 2015. Air Berlin, Kuwait Airways, and All Nippon Airways are amongst the buyers.
The 787, Boeing's first all-new jet since airlines started flying the 777 in 1995, will be the world's first large commercial airplane made mostly of carbon-fiber composites, which are lighter, heftier, and don't rust as easily--sounds fair enough. .
The Dreamliner is scheduled to enter service in the spring of 2008 and the first test flights will take place in late August or early September of this year.
Stay Tuned.
