If you were ever wondering what goes into the manufacturing and assembly process of a Boeing Aircraft, here's a video montage that goes through the assembly process of the aircraft in VERY fast motion... http://www.nmedia.com/777-200LR_Boeing.wmv |

I did a search, and found this about Boeings upcoming 787 Dreamliner, from http://www.evolvingexcellence.com/blog/2007/05/787_dreamliner_.htmlBoeing said it will take about seven weeks to assemble the first plane. By the 100th plane, the company expects to lower that to six days and, ultimately, Boeing said a new 787 will roll out of its factory every three days. By comparison, Boeing said it takes an average of 14 weeks for the 777 to move out the factory door because much of the manufacturing is done by the company. |

It's amazing to me after watching them build something so huge that it even gets off the ground! |

I think about that every time we roll down the runway for takeoff...and the plane seems to pick up speed sooo slowly.... |
