Boeing is not in the business of enforcing a crash on any of its aircraft but with the Boeing 787 soon to fly (mid November/mid-December) it needs to undergo a series of tests to see how the airframe performs in a crash landing compared to aluminium airframes.
Randy's Journal, a blog written by Randy Tinseth is vice president, marketing for Boeing Commercial Airplanes in Seattle, has an interesting post entitled "Testing, testing" about how the 787 has been subjected to a suspended steel plate being rammed into the fuselage section.
