Air Guide Business -- Boeing planned to start the Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines yesterday on its first 787 test aircraft and is finalizing a deal with Qantas to avoid Dreamliner deferrals. ZA001, which spent last week completing its fuel tests along with an APU start, was due to leave the fuel dock Saturday to be moved to the flight line. ZA002, the second flight test aircraft, was rolled out of the paint hangar last week in ANA colors, although ANA's first 787 is slated to be ZA007. Boeing has done some 11th hour juggling of its 787 production positions to satisfy a Qantas demand for better delivery of its order for 65.
