Boeing is selling off property for commercial aircrafts and Defense and space programs in Washington, California, Kansas, and Oklahoma.
Boeing 787 program is a Risk Shaving program with its supplies alone with the Washington state, south Caroline and the Government of Japan that has 35% interest in 787 programs
Washington states and south Caroline states government has given Boeing tax break and millions of tax payer dollars to Boeing that should be a Bond issues for the States and Tax payer can be paid back
Boeing management which is from GE has been selling aircrafts below cost, leaving no profit for the maintained of the infrastructure of the assembly plants
Boeing sold 844 787 before its had the infrastructure to build 787 alone with a proven design and systems that has kept the 787 in the news
Boeing has stated if would build one 787 ever three day , the 787 started on 3-28-2003 its now 5-13-2013 its now Boeing now has class actions laws sue file against then.
Boeing has deliver 50 787 to date, the 787 is five years late in delivery to the Airline and Boeing is pay late fee to the late fee to date .
The Airlines line are now suing Boeing over the lost of renew due to the grounding of their 787
Boeing has sold 111 747-8 aircraft and 46 deliver, the program is two late and 2.04 Billion over budget
(Boeing is 700 million over budget with the KC-46 program)
Boeing did not build the Double Decker 747-500 &600 in 1997 due to a lack of orders
When Airbus annocunment the A380 Boeing and NASA study show only 75-100 A380 would be needed
How many airline would need a 777-X aircraft the can carry 425 passenger 9000 miles?
Airbus only sold 36 A340-500 ultra long rang aircraft
If the 777-X has wing span longer then the existing 747-8 its will be to larger to be assembly in Everett
Boeing need to kept the wing at Code E standards on the ramp and taxiway, up to 65m (213ft 4in), in line with today's 777-300ER,
without airport and jetway modification.
The South Caroline plant was builds by Vought aircraft and has 480 feet wide assemble bays alone with climber control building, clean room, composite equipment and a train workforce for composite
Boeing has acquired 1100 acres of lands in south Caroline at the times its selling off or canceling the lease on the office building where the 777-X was going to be design alone with Build permits in washingtion state.
40% of Boeing workforce will retired in 5 years and Boeing is still laying off it workforce
Note Boeing has offer the 777-X three other times once in 1997
Boeing say the 777-X will ready in 2019, but Boeing need to be in production now of the 777-X and 737-MAX since Airbus is in production with the A380, A330, A320NEO and A350 since the 777 first when into service in 1995 are coming out and Airline are replace their existing fleet now
Boeing may miss the boat if Boeing waits to offer the 777-X in 2019 , Given the age of the commercial aircrafts fleets which is replace every 20 years
http://bit.ly/ZVzyoV
Boeing slowdown in the schedule for the so-called 777X has raised suspicion within the industry that despite a competitive threat from rival Airbus, Boeing's management in Chicago is unwilling to commit the money because of the risk attached to doing several major new jet programs at once. But the CEO did get 27 millions bounces and Ray Conner got 60,000 share of stock

All Nippon Airways (ANA), Boeing's (BA) largest 787 customer with 17 Dreamliners, has safely carried out a two-hour test flight of the jet with its modified battery system. However, while Ethiopian Airlines has already flown the plane commercially, ANA intends to conduct at least 230 test flights before allowing customer back on in June. Fellow carrier Japan Airlines plans to carry out its first 787 test flight next month. [View news story]

ANA should take a wait and see approach to the battery problems and just watch the other airlines
ANA said additional battery monitoring systems will also be installed on all 787’s to check in-flight performance and all batteries will be removed and inspected at designated intervals.
This would be a good job for Boeing CEO James McNerney
Boeing needs to take a Flight Data Recorders and instrumentation the battery with electrical load sensors, heat sensor ect and Closed-circuit television camera

The High price of the repair is due to all the left over Boeing F-35, F-22, B-2 parts which are invisible to the untrained eye like a military hammer
Boeing should have installed the battery inside one of the onboard GE refrigerators with the flight crews keeping an eye on its each time the refrigerators door is open! or install a transparent door and save the $465,000
To reassure the public that the plane is safe, Apple will offer

Possible Solutions for the Battery Problem on the Boeing 787
http://bit.ly/XRkSJl
http://bit.ly/13CNkzD
It took the Boston Airport Fire Department 90 min and 50 Fire Flightier and Fire Trucks to put out the fire and that was on the ground
Boeing is now saying the battery never got fire,! The smoke must have been from all the Hot Air from Chicago!
If there No Fire Damage to the aircrafts then Power UP the aircrafts in
(Boston and in Japan) and taxi test the 787 around the airport!
And start running run the check listed and all the ground checks and return the aircraft to service by flight testing the aircraft over Boeing HQ in Chicago or at the next NASCAR race! or on The 4 of July
Boeing should hire Evergreen 747 Fire Fighting Super Tanker 747 or Dc-10 alone with Air Force retired KC-135E, and Installed In-Flight- Refueling Receptacle in the top of the cockpit cabin of each 787 and the fire department stand pipe plumping to each of two battery location to dump 20,000 gallons of fire retardant to meet the 330 min ETOPs requirement
Since Halon 1301 is inefficient in fighting Lithium-Ion-Battery fires aboard aircrafts
And Flashover normally occurs at 500°C (930°F) or 1,100°F for ordinary combustibles, and an incident heat flux at floor level of 1.8 Btu/ft²*s (20 kW/m²).

What inside Lithium-Ion-Battery
The energy provided by the cell is equal to the voltage times the charge. Each gram of lithium represents Faraday's constant/6.941 or 13 901 coulombs. For a voltage of 3 V, this gives 41.7 kJ per gram of lithium, or 11.6 kWh per kg.
This is a bit more than the heat of combustion of gasoline, but does not take into account all the other materials that go into a lithium battery and which make lithium batteries many times heavier per unit of energy.

UPS 747-400 crash of Flight 6
FAA Reaction In October 2010, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a Safety Alert for Operators highlighting the fact that the cargo on board Flight 6 contained a large quantity of lithium-ion batteries and that Halon 1301 was inefficient in fighting fires involving them. The FAA issued a restriction on the carrying of lithium batteries in bulk on passenger flights.
(As of 2011, lithium-ion batteries account for 66% of all portable secondary (i.e., rechargeable) battery sales in Japan)
The explosive force in this test was likely high enough to cause physical damage to an aircraft’s Class C cargo compartment.
container specially designed to ship lithium metal batteries would need to demonstrate that it can withstand this explosive condition. There are currently no approved and tested containers that can sufficiently contain the known effects of accidental lithium metal battery ignition. Common metal shipping containers, pails and drums, are not designed to withstand a LITHIUM METAL CELL FIRE.

The forward battery is located under the flight deck in main electrical bay next to all the other LRU's that control the aircrafts in flight , the wiring is NOT fire proof
This is another 787 advancement how the battery can keep the pilot seats, coffee cup holder warn, alone with the cockpit floor warn on an cold morning
The other APU is located is aft electric bay where the APU fuels line is route between the wing and APU in the tail of the aircrafts next to cargo department with all Flammability cargo located at ! And Halon 1301 is inefficient in fighting fires involving lithium-ion batteries.
At what tempter does aircraft Wiring Burn?
FAR 25 comprise clauses mandating aircraft design safety rules. However, there are no specific clauses within FAR 25 pertaining to the flammability, toxicity or smoke visibility criteria of electrical wire insulation. That said, FAR Section 601 mandates a general statement that;
FAR 25-601: "The airplane may not have design features or details that experience has shown to be hazardous or unreliable. The suitability of each questionable design detail and part must be established by tests."

American regulators followed the lead of Japanese airlines by grounding the Boeing 787 Dreamliner on Wednesday night, saying a recent series of safety incidents meant urgent action was needed.
The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said it would require airlines to demonstrate that the plane's cutting-edge batteries were safe before allowing further flights. It has notified regulators in other countries of its action.

The estimated battery-system modifications will cost United almost $465,000 per airplane, though Boeing will likely cover that tab. 208 Million For the aircrafts, R&D, late delivery fees to the airlines making the 787 the first Billions dollars aircrafts that sold for 208 millions
How many more Millions is Boeing ( the Boeing stockholder and tax payer of Washington and S, Caroline ( going to spent on the 787 ! the beak even point was 1100 787 and that before the grounding, Boeing would need to sell more than 1100 to make up for the lose the new orders for 787, those orders would come from the 747, 777, 767 !
Boeing should allow the airline to upgrade their existing 787 (costing 208 millions) orders for 777 (US$315) million for the same price
