I Tapdance on the Clouds...

Boeing has announced their much-delayed 787 Dreamliner airplane will finally make its maiden flight later this year. It's still just a test flight, meaning customers who have been patiently waiting for the reported 840 orders to be filled will have to continue waiting. The plane is roughly two years behind schedule.

Speaking of two years ago, here's some older concept work BMW Group DesignworksUSA did for the 787 to drum up early interest. The designers came up with a sort of split-level ranch with wings, a plane that a literal high-flyer could live and work in--with nineteen friends in tow.
