NOTE: BCA photo release images are available on boeingmedia
for 12 months from their release date. LONG BEACH, Calif. , Feb. 08, 2006 -- The final Boeing [NYSE: BA] 717 began production this week on the moving assembly line in Long Beach, Calif. This milestone marks the final
phase of assembly before the airplane delivers to airline customer AirTran Airways in May.
The airplane is the 156th 717 produced by Boeing. The 717 program helped shape Boeing business practices through
its supplier partnerships and applying principles of lean manufacturing.
"We challenged the traditional way of thinking and operating to create a great airplane at a reasonable cost,"
said Pat McKenna, vice president and general manager of the 717 program. "From its concept to production, this airplane has
been a team effort that benefits the world's airlines and passengers."
Developed by McDonnell Douglas as the MD-95 and renamed the 717 after the merger with Boeing in 1997, the
100-seat airplane will provide excellent economics, performance and reliability to the world's airlines for years to come.
The 717 model is the last commercial airplane produced in the Southern California factory. More than 15,000
airplanes have been produced in Long Beach since the plant opened in 1941.
Airbus
launches first ever Airbus-380 Flight
APRIL 27, 2005, this is a date shure to go down in history
for airbus as it is
a major move for airbus to introduce this meaga A-380,
many say it was a move they may later regret in the future due to the increase demand
for smaller aircraft such as the 737 and A320 one-isle jets. But I think otherwise, this dream jet is just what we have
been waiting for, a increase in population and dwindling pilot numbers scene 9-11 means we need bigger jets, A Arcraft
that can hold around 800 people means less overcrowded air traffic and airport gate fees. Beleive it or not this
beauty of a plane is more fuel efficient than your car, witch is a big + to the environment. Many airlines have already
booked there order of a A-380 includeing, UPS, QUANTAS, AIR FRANCE, BRITTISH AIRWAYS and others, what happens
with this new mega jet only time can tell.
