Packed with drama, human courage
and nerve-racking suspense, this documentary traces the development of the Boeing
Company's most technically advanced aircraft - the 777 - from the corporate conference
rooms to the factory floors, from the extensive testing process to the jetliner's first
commercial flight with paying passengers. Five-series of one-hour episodes shown on PBS. Follow
the intricate design process, the procurement of the plane's four million parts, the race
to meet deadlines, the myriad, risky testing procedures, the first "test
drives," the countdown to delivery, and the inaugural flight as the 777 enters the
skies as Boeing's flagship carrier. (five hours)
