Boeing 787 Dreamliner Finally Taking Off?

Well, it seems the Boeing 787 Dreamliner is finally about ready to be put to testing for flight conditions. The Wall Street Journal reports that the airliner "could make its first test flight as early as next week." With the Airbus A380 seeming to be getting the upper hand in the race for the next generation of high-capacity jets, this looks to be fairly good news for Boeing. The road ahead is still rocky, however. The tests need to show good results, and airlines that have put in orders for the plane need to not back out!
