(KPLU) - When will Boeing's troubled Dreamliner get off the ground? The new 7-8-7 is two years behind schedule. Its first flight was set for this summer, but has been indefinitely postponed. KPLU's Dave Meyer talks about Boeing with financial commentator Greg Heberlein.


Correction: When this interview first aired, Greg mistakenly described the Dreamliner's main problem as being with how the wing attaches to the fuselage. The problem actually appears to be a structural flaw in the design of the wing.
