Boeing's Dreamliner Nears Takeoff: But the 787's R&D costs, plus discounts early buyers are getting, mean Boeing won't make money on the fuel-sipping plane for several years (Joseph Weber, 6/04/09, Business Week)

When the long-delayed Boeing 787 Dreamliner finally takes wing above Washington State in its first test flight later this month, much will be riding on its sleek, carbon-fiber back. Some 56 buyers, ranging from Etihad Airways in the United Arab Emirates to Northwest Airlines, have ordered 866 of the planes—enough to keep Boeing busy for more than a decade. This state-of-the-art plane, slated to make its first commercial flights with Japan's All Nippon Airways early next year, will set the Chicago-based manufacturer apart from Airbus and other rivals for years to come.

...but no one would knowingly board a Third World plane.
