Description
...inside the Boeing Future of Flight Building in Everett, Washington.
...this hall advertises advantages of Boeing's airplanes in production at its Paine Field plant...the newest 747s, 777s. And the brand new 787 being assembled from subassemblies manufactured by subcontractors in Japan, South Korea, China, Canada, USA, Australia, England, Sweden, France and Italy.
...the revolutionary tag comes in part from the fact that more than 50% of the 787 is made from fiber reinforced plastics (composites). For example, by manufacturing single-piece molded fuselage sections, the design eliminates the need for 1,500 sheets of aluminum and between 40,000 and 50,000 fasteners (rivets).
...Less weight, more strength equals more room for passengers, extended range, fuel savings and reduced maintenance costs. At least that's what the signs say:-)

Very lovely shot Bill and interesting info on the makeup of the new planes..
Just as sharp and clear as can be--great concept, wonder if they really do it?
so clean catches the eye as does the capture warm hugs, Linda
Cool image!!!
Thanks for the info! Interesting shot!
A great insight to the ins and outs of plane building and interesting technology too.
Awesome shot.
Somehow it never translates to lower ticket costs for passengers, though. Frustrating for those of us who want to get somewhere and have limited funds! I haven't been to this exhibit yet, must give it a check. Wonderful shot of the shiny expanse of flooring and marvelous bits of railings...
Looks good & sounds it too!!!
Cool catch. You have caught the new age in this one!
I love all the above comments that mention the floor. :D See? It's not just me! LOL! Super composition. This is outstanding!
Ooooooo - shiny! Great interior shot, Bill - looks like they keep the guy with the floor buffer pretty busy.... Interesting information as well - progress marches along...
How cool is that to be made of plastic and no rusting either. A wonderful capture of this very clean place.
outstanding work.. such clarity.
Nice photo work....
SUPERB SHOT
WOW! That is what you would call a wide body. Lots of new information for me. Dana
Interesting shot and information Bill.
Sounds like a giant Airfix kit, hope they have more luck with multi-national production than we had in the early days of Airbus! Fascinating place to visit, though I suspect many 'locked doors'....
