Dreamliner No.2 is prepped to receive its vertical stabilizer at the Boeing factory in Everett, WA, the worldÕs largest building by volume. After itÕs been through flight-testing and refurbished it will be delivered to the DreamlinerÕs first customer, Japan-based airline ANA.

Unlike the aluminum-clad 777s that are built next door inside massive fixed structures, all the tooling for the 787 is mobile. The three main sections of the fuselage are brought together and joined guided by an internal GPS system. As other parts of the plane are added, wings, tail etc, tooling is rolled in and rolled out. ItÕs designed to be a far more flexible approach to building planes, and one that Boeing hopes will get final assembly of the 787 down to three days.
