Robotic Automation Is Key to 777X Production Transition
Boeing’s fuselage automated upright build program is central to its plans to automate 777 production.
One important element in the upcoming transition to 777X production is Boeing's ability to plan using the same assembly area for the new airliner's composite wing as it does for the current aluminum wing. And metal wings for current-design 777 freighters could remain in production for another decade.
