Boeing yesterday shuffled the line-up of the 787s on the final assembly line in Everett, Washington, to make room for a flight test airplane arriving later this month.

The 787 designated for fatigue testing was moved out of the final assembly factory to another production bay, which was not disclosed. The fatigue test airplane is not yet complete and assembly work will continue in the new location.

The move allows the second flight test aircraft to advance one position on the four-stage assembly line. Meanwhile, the third flight test aircraft will remain in the first position until assembly is ready to start on the fourth flight test. <P class=MsoNormal style=”
