Boeing 787 Dreamliner

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner made a stop in San Diego last week as part of its tour.  Since Hamilton Sundstrand was a supplier for the airplane, they let employees take a tour of the airplane!  The 787 is made of one piece barrel construction, which means less weight, less drag, less maintenance and less fuel consumption.  It is a beautiful piece of machinery and it is amazing that my company played a part in making that happen!  Here are some pictures of the plane:

A Boeing 787 Dreamliner came in for a landing at San Diego's Lindbergh Field where it is making an overnight stop on Monday March 12th as part of a world tour to show off the plane to all of its suppliers that helped build it.

The engine nacelle on the 787, which in this case is houses a Rolls Royce engine, was built by local Goodrich Aerostructures in Chula Vista.

All colors of the LED multi color display lighting were shown in the aft section of the main cabin.

Flight crew sleeping quarters located just aft of the flight deck and up a small stairway.
