SAN FRANCISCO (AP) .- The aerospace giant Boeing yesterday presented before an audience of thousands of people at its plant in Everett, Washington, its 787 Dreamliner, a device with which the company aims to revolutionize civil aviation.
Boeing celebrated the launch in style, with a flurry of new orders from Air Berlin, will buy 25 aircraft and an aircraft leasing company in Kuwait, will acquire another 10.
More than 47 airlines around the world have already bought 677 of the 787 units, the highest number of orders made by a plane before it enters service, the company said.
This makes the device, which is released on a symbolic date, the 08/07/1907 (In the U.S. the month before the day is placed), a hit, as was made clear at the launch ceremony, which the company broadcast live over the Internet and satellite television in nine languages.
Boeing hired the well-known U.S. television presenter Tom Brokaw to act as master of ceremonies at a rally of 15,000 people invited.
The show, at its assembly plant in Everett, flight attendants participated each airline has placed orders for the aircraft.
As for the true protagonist, The Dreamliner, came slowly after the giant factory doors to the sound of music specially composed for the occasion.
aviation giant also invited thousands of employees and retirees to watch the event via satellite in the NFL stadium in Seattle, and organized festivals in dozens of locations around the world.
As noted by Louis Gallois, president of rival Airbus, in a rare message of congratulations addressed to Jim McNerney, Boeing chairman, "though tomorrow Airbus will return to its task of competing vigorously, today is the Boeing Day, a day to celebrate the 787. "
No wonder: this is the first airplane built with a high-tech composite, a type of reinforced plastic lighter and stronger than aluminum, a material that is traditionally used for the manufacture of aircraft.
With its lower weight, the plane will use 20 percent less fuel than its predecessor, the 767, which means lower costs, pollution and maintenance, and will suffer less corrosion.
The aircraft will be more spacious, with larger windows and space for luggage, although the final design of the interior depend on each airline.
passengers, Boeing says, will feel more comfortable because thanks to the material it is made, the vessel is pressurized in a different way, which among other things means more oxygen and more moisture in the cockpit .
In its commitment to developing a medium-sized aircraft capable of flying nonstop between almost any city in the world, Boeing spent about 8000 million dollars.
Meanwhile, its competitor Airbus opted for the super-jumbo A-380, a plane through which only 14 airlines showed interest at the moment.
Boeing hopes the plane, the company first launched in the last 13 years, breathing new life into a company that recently faced serious corporate scandals and production problems.
It does so in a time when the aviation industry is in crisis because of rising fuel costs, increased security and a very competitive market.
Boeing faces also other obstacles, experts say.
The plane, which costs between $ 146 and $ 200 million, depending on the model, will seat between 210 and 330 people and was built using a new production model that relies on outside contractors, which manufacture the parts then assembled in Everett.
If production remains on target, Japan's ANA, a major customer with 50 orders, will become the first airline to use the 787 in May next year.
The first test flight is planned for late August or September.
