The fuselage is all composite. Traditional aircraft are framed first and the skins riveted on after, whereas this one has entire ~19ft diameter barrel sections built up on a mandrel and baked in oversized autoclaves, and the composite frames installed to the skin. Everything is built from the outside in, and they fly entire completed sections to Everett, WA on a modified 747 for final assembly. Boeing wanted a modular aircraft that could be snapped together, so to speak.Men have become the tools of their tools.
