Dreamliner plane review ordered by US regulators



Fire engines surround Boeing Dreamliner in Boston

US regulators have ordered a review of the 787 Dream liner plane after a series of incidents put a question mark over the safety of Boeing's flagship plane.
The review by the Federal Aviation Administration will look at the design and manufacture of the planes. It is not clear whether the planes in the air at the moment will be grounded. An electrical fire, a brake problem, a fuel spill and cracks in the cockpit's windshield have affected Dreamliner flights in the past week."We are absolutely confident in the reliability and performance of the 787," Boeing spokesman Marc Birtel said. "We are working with the FAA and our customers to ensure we thoroughly understand any introductory issues that arise. "While we take each issue seriously, nothing we've seen in service causes us to doubt the capabilities of the airplane."
The Boeing 787 Dream liner is one of the most advanced aero planes ever created. Much of it is made from very strong, light carbon-fiber composite material
