Abstract:
|
In mid-2003, the US based aircraft manufacturer Boeing embarked upon an
ambitious project to manufacture a mid-size aircraft called 787 Dreamliner. This
was the first commercial aircraft being manufactured using 50 percent of
composite materials. The case examines the reasons for Boeing to initiate the
787 project. It details the design and manufacturing process of the aircraft.
The case also highlights the technical features of the aircraft and explains why
it is superior over the existing aircrafts of Boeing and Airbus.
