Abstract	The new Boeing 787 Dreamliner is less than a year from its first flight in summer 2007. This presentation introduces some of the features of this airplane and describes why over 470 orders have been placed for the aircraft so far. The control laws of the airplane had to satisfy some rigorous, challenging requirements, which are described next. The control law philosophy is discussed, along with the design process. Special attention is paid to the Concept Validation and Risk Reduction (CVRR) vehicle, a leased 777-200ER used to test the candidate control laws. The CVRR flight test program is discussed, including maneuvers flown and lessons learned. The presentation ends with a look ahead to tasks facing the control law team between now and first flight.
