Brian Bodge (front, center), 787 program senior specialist engineer, leads a technical discussion between the 787 Program in the Global Collaboration Center in Everett, Wash., and Jeff Swada (left screen, far right), a senior lead engineer in Wichita. The collaborative technology enables a virtual workspace that allows engineers on the 787 program, including its partners in Australia, Japan, Italy, Canada and across the United States, to make concurrent design changes to the airplane in real time. Designing, building and testing the 787 airplane digitally before production begins will improve efficiencies and reduce errors.
