Orders Going Well

On April 3, 2007, Boeing officially passed the 500 order count on the 787 Dreamliner. JAL ordered 5 787s and that pushed the total over the initial goal of 500. General Electric has also reported positive progress with the GenX engine. The GE engine choice seems to have become far more popular than the Rolls Royce option. Many future orders coming from North America are expected to go with GE as it is an American based company with exceptional service. As the production moves onward, Boeing is happily awaiting the roll out date.
