Three years after it was scheduled to be released, Boeing finally delivered its first 787 Dreamliner aircraft Sunday.

The new airplane is made of lightweight plastic composites that the manufacturer says will save airlines 20 percent in fuel. Other added features include better cabin circulation and electronically dimming windows.

All Nippon Airways, a Japanese airline, was the first to receive Boeing’s new jet.

Air Flow ?? This sounds good…
When the mysterious ‘they’ stopped everyone from smoking, ‘they’ also reduced air-flow to save fuel (heating air), and the spread of infectious germs, human body odors, headaches from lack of oxygen, etc – on top of the stupidity caused by 9/11 – has made flying dangerous and truly the worst travel experience, accepted only because of it’s relative speed.
(Not mentioning the Italian sausages and the eventual by-products after a 7-hr flight from Italy a friend related to me)
We have ‘dreamed’ to be back in time … maybe this will help a little.
