On April 25, 2008, Boeing moved the 787 Dreamliner static test airframe from its Final Assembly facility in Everett to its structural test rig. The test rig is located only 1,000 feet away from Final Assembly at the Everett factory. "During static tests we apply loads to the airplane structure that simulate both normal operation as well as extreme flight conditions," said Randy Harley, vice president of Engineering & Technology for the 787 program. "We monitor the airplane to confirm analytical predictions and make sure the structure holds up to these conditions."
