Boeing increases 777 build rate to 8.3 per month

摘要

Boeing said it has started building the 777 at a rate of 8.3 aircraft per month, up 20% from the 7 per month rate it had been building the wide-body aircraft. The manufacturer said a rate of 8.3 aircraft per month is the "highest rate ever for a Boeing twin-aisle airplane ... The first part, the lower lobe of the aft fuselage, of the first 777 [a freighter designated for Korean Air] to be built at the new rate was loaded into position in the factory earlier today."
