I wonder how long a delay really could be....6 months seems to be popular, but its a given it will not be as long as the A380.

Can't say I'm too surprised the original timetable did seem remarkably ambitious to me.Comment

For this delay, maybe Boeing's 2 biggest sub-contractor in Japan and Italy has some problem in their production lines. Needs to co-ordinate again.Comment

New Boeing 787 vulnerable to hacking
"ACCORDING TO to the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner aeroplane may have a serious security vulnerability in its on-board computer networks that could allow passengers to access the plane's control systems.
The computer network for the Dreamliner's passengers, designed to give passengers in-flight internet access and entertainment, is connected to the plane's control, navigation and communication systems, the FAA report reveals (the report is mirrored here)....
It also connects to the airline's business and administrative-support network, which communicates maintenance issues to ground crews.
The design "allows new kinds of passenger connectivity to previously isolated data networks connected to systems that perform functions required for the safe operation of the airplane," says the FAA report. "Because of this new passenger connectivity, the proposed data-network design and integration may result in security vulnerabilities from intentional or unintentional corruption of data and systems critical to the safety and maintenance of the airplane."
