The Boeing 787 Dreamliner - Finally Delivered!
The Boeing 787 is a fuel efficient, composite constructed, 290-300 seat, wide-body, twin-engine jet airliner named Dreamliner - that rolled out July 8, 2007. Two and a half years of delay and five maiden voyage postponements followed the roll-out.
Boeing Commercial Airplanes pushed the 787's service entry date back from May 2008 to sometime in 2010. Then there were rumblings and wondering, "When will this Dreamliner will fly out of the dream?"
On August 27, 2009 Boeing released a new 787 schedule stating that the aircraft would fly a maiden voyage by the end of the 2009 and be in service by the 2nd quarter of 2010.
The "Boeing 787 passes key structural tests," reported BBC News, December 11, 2009.
Newer news - Dreamliner flew its maiden voyage, then delivery was delayed again -- now the first plane has been delivered, three years late:

The Telegraph reported, July 4, 2011, Boeing Delivers 787 Dreamliner
