Boeing Wraps Up Dreamliner Dream Team

Goodrich, Boeing/Wichita Selected As Final Vendors

Boeing this week completed its 7E7 Dreamliner partner team by selecting its Wichita division to provide the all-new passenger jet's pylons and Goodrich Corporation to provide the nacelles, including the thrust reverser.

The nacelle system will be designed and supplied by Goodrich's Aerostructures business, headquartered in Chula Vista (CA).

The Boeing Commercial Airplanes Propulsion Systems Division (PSD), based in Tukwila (WA) will continue its role in managing the engine relationships with 7E7 engine partners General Electric and Rolls-Royce. In addition, PSD will be part of the 7E7 Propulsion Team providing both engineering and procurement support.

"The progress we have made since making the first partner decisions last November has been outstanding," said 7E7 Senior Vice President Mike Bair. "We have established an aerospace industry all-star team that will bring the world's airlines and travelers a more advanced, efficient and comfortable airplane."

The 7E7 partner team includes 15 companies from at least 10 US states and seven countries. Many partners operate in multiple countries and states.

"The combined knowledge and abilities of these companies will result in an airplane that exceeds the expectations of our customers and passengers," Bair said.

Boeing continues receiving strong customer support for the 7E7 and has submitted a number of firm contract proposals to airlines. The company expects to launch the new airplane this year.
