The first 787-10 that will be delivered to a Boeing Co. customer will begin final assembly by early September, according to the All Things 787 website compiled by Uresh Sheth, a New York investment banker and Dreamliner analyst.


The wide-body plane, designated as aircraft No. ZC003 and line No. 622, will be delivered to Singapore Airlines on May 1, according to Sheth. He adds the Dash 10 will probably be used for functionality and reliability testing later this year as part of the plane's certification.


Boeing currently has three 787-10s performing test flights in the Seattle area. Those planes are about one-third of the way through the test program, which Sheth estimates will involve up to 1,500 hours of time in the air.
