WICHITA, KS -- Power-on testing for Dreamliner One has commenced in Everett, WA.
Boeing has confirmed the testing has begun and has issued this statement:
"We're pleased the process has begun, and we are confident we'll meet the milestone in June."
Power-on testing of all the 787's systems is expected to take several weeks.
Program sources tell FlightBlogger that 787 Program General Manager and VP Pat Shanahan was on hand for todays tests.
UPDATE: Indications of commencement of power-on testing were running rampant this week in Everett with the arrival of lit beacon signs reading "When illuminated, production test in progress."
In addition, earlier today Boeing erected a perimeter around Dreamliner One with signs reading, "Warning - Power On Testing - Authorized Personnel Only - No Entrance - No Exceptions".
According to several program sources, there are flat panel TV monitors set up on the factory floor showing a live video feed of the cockpit instruments.
Boeing, taking all appropriate precautions for their early power-on tests, had the facility fire department on hand.
This is a developing story and will be updated as details become available.
