787 completes static test analysis and gauntlet tests

On Wednesday, December 10th, Boeing completed the analysis of the side-of-body fix on the static test aircraft.  The results indicate that the fix did work and that the airplane structure, particularly the section where the wing attaches to the fuselage, has been validated and deemed ready for flight test.  Boeing also completed the final series of gauntlet testing on ZA001.  The next step now is for the plane to undergo final flight readiness reviews and taxi testing.
