The Dreamliner's delivery dates have been pushed back for more than two years, costing money and eroding confidence in the company.
Boeing advanced its flight schedule after a successful test of the aircraft's wing last week and now intends to put a second 787 in the air 10 days after the first, The Seattle Times reported Friday.

A Rolls Royce spokesman said the smoke was expected, as oil used to protect the engines while they were not running burned away.
