Vought Successfully Delivers Aft Fuselage for Dreamliner

(Charleston, S.C., April 24, 2008) -- Vought Aircraft Industries, Inc. successfully delivered its fifth composite aft fuselage section for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner on April 13.

The fuselage, designated for Airplane #3, is the first airplane shipset delivered by Vought that includes structures and the start of systems components.

"We have successfully demonstrated our commitment to the quality and level of completeness of our aft sections to the 787 Dreamliner program, while at the same time effectively reducing the amount of traveled work to Boeing," said Joy Romero, vice president of Vought's 787 division. "In recent reviews with Boeing, they have indicated that Vought is taking the right actions in continuing to improve completeness and adding value to the program."
