Boeing to temporarily ground Dreamliner test planeHONG KONG (
MarketWatch) -- Boeing Co. has temporarily grounded a fleet of its 787 Dreamliner test aircraft after finding a problem in the horizontal tails, according to media. Boeing engineers were inspecting all 23 Dreamliner aircraft that have been built to fix the problem, which was discovered over the past week. It may take up to eight days to fix the problem, reports said. Dreamliner program spokeswoman Yvonne Leach said the problem was "regrettable but under control," and that the company decided to conduct the inspections. However, the schedule for completing flight testing and first delivery of the plane won't be delayed any further, she added, according to reports.
