at the same time Boeing is investigating and correcting possible incorrect shimming in either the 56 or 58 sections ( fuselage sections around the horizontal stab or APU sections outside the pressure envelope) of the 787 that are built in S.

At a local aviation future conference being held in Lynnwood WA., Richard Aboulafia, a market analyst with Teal Group said he was skeptical about Boeings smaller 787-3 and AIRBUS'S A-350 XWB, or A-350-800,saying the later isn't a valid aircraft. Boeing is in discussions with customers regarding the size of the larger 787-10.
