Dreamliner - deliverance at last for Boeing?

Not to spoil the surprise, but we're really pleased with the front cover - and the rest of the content, of course - in the 27 September issue of Flight International, which closes for press tomorrow. It's not one that you'll want to miss.

Jon Ostrower, who as FlightBlogger has followed every nuance of the Dreamliner programme almost since its inception, asks what the delivery - over three years late - of the first aircraft to ANA means for Boeing. It's an open-the-champagne moment for Seattle but Boeing's 787 angst is far from over.

We've also got a special on commercial engines, in which we look at why Rolls-Royce is finally switching to carbonfibre materials for its blades.
