The Dreamlifter Logistics System Efficient transport of 787 major sub-assemblies DreamLifter Main deck is 65,000 cubic feet Three times the capacity of the 747-400 Freighter Reduced transportation times versus surface transportation Dramatically reduced final assembly flow times Less inventory – increased responsiveness to change The Dreamlifter is a unique tool developed by Boeing with EGAT in Taiwan – this is a family of four specially modified 747s that are transporting the large 787 fuselage sections and other structure from our partners’ locations around the world to our final assembly site in Everett. This is the most efficient method for constructing the airplane. There are four Dreamlifters in operation currently. The entire global logistics system is performing extremely well. FAA certification was achieved on June 2, 2007. Enables global operations
