Boeing said that all 787 Dreamliner structural tests have now been completed. The plane's static test airframe, seen here on April 21 at the Everett, Wash., facility, saw its wing and trailing edges subjected to their "limit load," what the company says is equivalent to the highest loads that the plane would be expected to experience in service. That load is similar to the plane experiencing up to two and a half times the force of gravity.
