I’d think that if it has to do with build quality, we would have heard something by now. With all of the Boeing bashing going on right now, somebody would have said something.

Plus why would it take a year to complete any re-work?

And Air China took the other 14 787-9, 13 of which were also assembled in Charleston. So it seems unlikely they put 13 together properly and then completely messed-up the final one.

Vietnam Airlines 787-10's are leased from ALC, the first being LN880 and the second being LN890

EVA schedules 787-10 on TPE-HKG (late June) and TPE-KIX/NRT (late July).
https://twitter.com/Airlineroute/status ... 1007153152

The seat configuration seems to be 34C 308Y, a total of 342 seats if I counted correctly from the published seat map.
Must be an amazing regional workhorse. Also I like 787-10 the most among the 787s in terms of appearance.

Do we know why B-1216 has been in storage for so long. I know she was rolled out when RR had its issues but that doesn't explain the fact she's not been delivered

It's listed here as flying with reg as callsign under 31 May entry. Departed PAE 8.44 am local time and arrived AUH next day at 10.44 am local time. The registration is blocked on all flight trackers, perhaps because the reg was on a bizjet in a previous life but I can't see any obvious candidates.

What speeds are reached during high speed taxi test?

Also, looking at the KLM 787-10 images posted above, I feel nervous about tailstrikes. The 787-10 looks very tailstikey to me LOL. Beautiful plane nonetheless

The “high speed taxi test” is done to check takeoff thrust which is not checked during normal preflight engine runs. As soon as takeoff thrust is established about 60 to 70 kts the thrust levers are returned to idle. The ground speed does not exceed the RTO threshold which is checked at the end of the flight most of the time.

The 787 like later model 777’s has software to prevent take strikes—not to worry.

Thank you ... very much appreciated.

Aah, awesome. Thank you for this explanation!

And, I looking forward to confidently boarding a 787-10 at some point in the future hahaha!

Quick question: does El Al still have 788s on order, or did they convert them all to 789s. (I presume still no -10s on order?)

They still have the 787-8 on order, there are 4 in the nyc787 production list to be delivered within a year. They have no 787-10 on order (yet).
