SAN FRANCISCO (AFX) -- Boeing Co. said Tuesday that its new 787 commercial jet is heavier than its target weight, but an executive said that the plane is ahead of where the 777 model's target weight was during its development process. Mike Bair, general manager of the 787 program, said the company is not very concerned about the 787's weight. "It's fair to say every new airplane has its weight problems," Bair said during a teleconference update on the plane's progress.
