Cray Supercomputers Play Key Role in Designing Boeing 787 Dreamliner
Posted In: Computers by Andy at 7:00 am
Cray reported yesterday that 800,000 processor hours of computing time on Cray supercomputers went into the design of the highly successful Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
With help from the Crays, Boeing was able to get through the prototyping phases with only having to test 11 physical wings versus the 77 wing designs for the Boeing 767. The resulting airliner is also much lighter, with fewer emissions and more cost savings per seat per mile.
