In the commercial airplane world 'launching' an airplane just means it can be sold to customers, not that the airplane is done. Boeing adheres to a 'gated' design process, where one of the earlier gates is the 'launch' of the aircraft and the last is entry into service. The airplane is designed far enough to close the business case and then can be 'launched'. |
