Boeing's 787 Dreamliner, Owned by United Airline touches down at Chicago O'Hare Airport

United Airlines, the first one in US to get Boeing's 787 Dreamliner, is making merries as dreamliners’ inaugural flight touches down in the cheers of passengers and  some aviation enthusiasts who said they wanted to be part of a historic event at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport.

Dream liner is Boeing's newest plane with claims of more fuel efficient than comparable jets and more comfortable for passengers by Boeing. United CEO Jeff Smisek was on Sunday's flight from Houston to Chicago and called the 787 the 'world's leading airplane'. It was a long time coming, as Boeing recently
started delivering the jets after more than three years of delays.


In July, debris from a brand-new Boeing 787 Dreamliner's engine sparked
a fire at a South Carolina airport causing the airport to temporarily shut down. The metal debris sparked a blaze with responding emergency crews having to close the Charleston International Airport for more than an hour. An incident in February this year, saw Boeing report signs of 'delamination' occurring on a support structure in the Dreamliner's rear fuselage, launching an inspection.

Delamination occurs when repeated stress causes laminated composite materials to begin to separate.
Boeing responded by examining assembled Dreamliners for similar signs of stress while insisting their jets were all safe.
