Cost of a tarnished dream is our take this week (4 January) on the latest 787 crisis for Boeing. Flightblogger Jon Ostrower assesses whether the airframer can ever make a profit on its flagship product, with some fascinating revelations about Boeing's sales process and a timeline charting the progress of the troubled Dreamliner programme from its promise-filled launch at the 2003 Paris air show.
Also in this issue, our writers look ahead to 2011 with forecasts for their beats and specialist sectors. Find out what we think about how the year will play out for the airliner manufacturers in terms of orders and deliveries, what the big news will be in avionics and engines and what the boom areas will be for defence aviation.
