The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is a mid-sized wide body, twin engined passenger airliner currently under development by Boeing and scheduled to enter service in 2008. It will carry between 210 and 330 passengers depending on the seating configuration, and will be more fuel-efficient than comparable earlier airliners. It will also be the first major airliner to use composite material for most of its construction.

This must be the one the engine cowlings of which are wide enough to fit a 747's fusilage in. Is that the one or was that a little old 777?
It'll fly,alright, but when? Maybe a Boeing employee is listening-in on this and will clue us in.

Assuming there are no delays in manufacturing and certification, the 787 should be in service by 2008 just in time for the Olympics.

*Shrugs* When the economy can support the production and sales of at least 300 of the airplanes. This includes coordinating with various Japanese and Chinese vendors and 3rd party contractors.
From the time of conception to the time of the first airframe flight, usually takes about 10 years.
