February 4, 2010 – Boeing 787 Dreamliner makes third flight test publicly, unveiling some of its interior components. The third flight test airplane, ZA003, has a partial interior that provides a glimpse into the new flying experience that the 787 Dreamliner will offer. Configured for flight testing purposes, the interior includes instrumentation racks, flight test equipment and workstations for engineers. 

"This airplane is specifically configured to test the passenger experience elements of the airplane," said Tom Galantowicz, director of 787 Interiors, Commercial Airplanes. "Our engineers and flighttest team use a disciplined process to certify the various elements of the interior and conduct airplane level verifications." The interior includes 135 seats, multiple lavatories and two crew rests. Certifying the interior components involves analyses and testing of the lighting, lavatories, stowage bins, dimmable windows and galleys. 

In addition to its mainline operations, ANA controls several subsidiary passenger carriers, including its regional airline, Air Nippon, charter carrier, Air Japan, and Air Next, a low-cost carrier based at Fukuoka Airport which handles flights for ANA. Additional smaller carriers include Air Nippon Network (A-net), a subsidiary of Air Nippon, Air Central, Q400-based airline based at Chūbu Centrair International Airport, and ANA & JP Express (AJV), a freighter operator. ANA has also announced it intends to create at least one low-cost carrier subsidiary with another as of yet unnamed Asian airline by fiscal 2009. 

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner will be design of new materials that are lighter, stronger and resist fatigue and corrosion than ever before. For the passenger cabin comfort of the 787 will have an increased cabin size and maintain a lower cabin altitude to make air travel more enjoyable. High performance engines will reduce CO2 emissions by 20 percent and reduce NOx emission by 15 percent compared to the Boeing 767.
