Abstract:  
The Boeing Company is unveiling its long-awaited 787 Dreamliner this summer. It will be the first jet in 13 years from the commercial jet world leader that introduced the 707 in 1954. The company is betting heavily on the need for a technically-advanced aircraft that will provide 20% increased fuel economy.
