To date, Boeing has won 677 orders for the 787, selling out delivery positions through 2015,
In a rare tip of the hat to the competition, Airbus congratulated Boeing on the 787, whose commercial success has chipped away at the edge the European plane maker once held over its Chicago-based rival.
"Even if tomorrow Airbus will get back to the business of competing vigorously, today is Boeing's day -- a day to celebrate the 787," Airbus co-CEO Louis Gallois said in a letter to McNerney.

I heard the lights change depending on the day of time and where you are while flying. Also, the engines were made my Rolls Royce. Any questions?
