So, I was reading about the Boeing Dreamlifter and its role in the 787 production process. Pretty wild how Boeing decided to outsource so much of the Dreamliner's production around the globe, right? I mean, they've got parts coming in from everywhere, and the Dreamlifter is the beast that hauls these massive components to the final assembly spots.
But it got me thinking - how far can this giant actually fly without needing to refuel? I know it's not meant to be a passenger plane, so its range is pretty different from a regular 747. I heard it can go around 4,800 nautical miles, but not 100% sure. Anyone have more info on that?
And with Everett's assembly line now closed, I wonder how this impacts the logistics for Boeing. Is North Charleston handling everything now, or are there new plans in the works? Curious to hear what you all think about how Boeing's managing this whole global supply chain thing with the Dreamliner. Let me know your thoughts!
