INTRODUCTION TO THE REPORT
Boeing 787 Dreamliner was first announced to the public in January 2003 with approximated costs of five billion dollars , since the sales of the aircraft were high it was supposed to enter commercial service during 2008 but the building up of aircraft seemed more anticipated than expected , since the management decided to use composite materials as an alternative for traditional metals as composite materials are lighter , stronger , cheaper and also resistance to wild variety of chemical agents including acid rain and salt spray as these are the conditions under which metals suffer , Boeing also shared their views in development of air craft with suppliers which effected in a project significantly more anticipated than expected . More than three years later after the project exceeded the estimated budget at last 787 entered commercial service in September 2011.
REPORT SUMMARY
A standout amongst the most noteworthy vital choices Boeing made in the 787 undertaking identified with out-sourcing. Truly Boeing had both composed and fabricated the vast majority of the parts for their airplane. For the 787 undertaking a choice was made to move further towards a frameworks joining model. In the combination model Boeing might band together with outsider suppliers around the globe who might help plan, produce and supply segments for the airplane. Those parts might be transported to Boeing production lines in the USA and gathered into the last item. On paper the choice to go about as a "frameworks integrator" instead of maker had bid. It spreads the danger and moves expenses to the suppliers while lessening the venture required by Boeing....

Executive Summary A key factor in determining a project's viability is its cost of capital [WACC]. The estimation of Boeing's WACC must be consistent with the overall valuation approach and the definition of cash flows to be discounted. Note that this process is a forward-looking focus and is laden with uncertainty. It is how the assumptions are modeled that many costly mistakes can be made.
The Boeing Corporation is one of the largest manufacturers in the world. Rivaled only by European giant Airbus in the aerospace industry, Boeing is a leader in research, design and manufacture of commercial jet airliners, for commercial, industrial and military customers. Despite enjoying immense success in its market and dominating an industry that solely recognizes engineering excellence, it is crucial for Boeing to ensure continued growth through consistent strategy formulation and execution to avoid falling behind in market share to close and coming rivals.

American Airlines Flight 587 Aviation Accident Analysis Naif Alamoudi 4/25/2016 Abstract This paper explores multiple reports and articles based on the aviation mishap with American Airlines Flight 587. Reports and documents researched have been sourced from credible sources like the FAA and NTSB. This paper examines and applies concepts to fully understand what exactly happened to flight 587 and the technical aspects associated with it.
This analysis delves into the fuselage material for Boeing 737 -800 (capacity ≈ 184 passengers). The first unit of Boeing 737-800 was delivered in June 2010 to Luxair Luxembourg Airlines (“Aerospace Technology,” 2018). The fuselage of the Boeing 737s production is typically fail-safe aluminum. The design extends to high corrosion and damage-resistant fuselage skin fabricated
Boeing has looked at everything from the design of the anti-collision lights, to the reduction of small gaps in the airfoil. This has created an aircraft that is extremely aerodynamic and efficient at any task it performs. The 737 was originally created on May 11, 1964, however it wasn’t until November 9, 1964 that production was officially approved. On February 19th 1965 Lufthansa placed its first order for the 737-100, and on the 9th of April 1967 the 737 flew for the first time. In 1970, Boeing had less than 35 orders for the 737 and considered canceling the program.
Technology Innovation: - Boeing should carefully analyze the market to evaluate the trends in the airline industry and aggressively invest in a new product line (top dog strategy) that could counter Airbus’s A380.
The airline has introduced the Boeing 787-9 on its scheduled daily service from Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), to Beirut, Lebanon (Businessdayonline.com). The new 787 Dreamliner service replaces the Airbus A321 aircraft previously operating the airline’s EY535/EY538 flights to and from the Lebanese capital. The Boeing 787-9 features Etihad Airways’ next-generation Business and Economy Class cabins and is configured with 299 seats, in which there are 28 Business Studios and 271 Economy Smart
Maintenance cost- Maintaining the old aircrafts is the biggest weakness for the airlines as they have to spend a huge amount on their maintenance by which their additional overhead cost raises.

Several weaknesses in airline operations were identified as the causes of the RM1.3 billion loss. These included esclating fuel prices, increased maintenance and repair costs, staff costs, low yield per available seat kilometer ("ASK") via poor yield management and an inefficient route network.
In 1990 Boeing was set to introduce the 777, the world’s largest and longest haul twin-bodied jet at the time. The 777 would serve the medium and long haul markets like the expanding Asian market. Boeing’s main competitors, Airbus Industries and McDonnell Douglas, had already announced plans to produce airliners that would compete directly with the 777. Analysts believed that the intense competition between the manufacturers would serve to depress prices for the airliners. Lower prices for aircraft would mean lower earnings.
In the transition period from propeller aircraft to jet aircraft, manufactures faced numerous problems and challenges during the design and test period. New technologies and test criteria were used. Using new kinds of wings and high lift devices were one of the solutions they came up with. Utilizing new materials made high speeds possible. The jet airplane allowed more passengers to be transferred efficiently and safely making flying in reach of the general public.
