Before Boeing’s new 787 jetliner gets the green light to fly passengers, the jet maker will have to prove the plane’s computer network can’t be hacked. Boeing has designed the 787 to allow airlines to offer passengers more in-flight entertainment and Internet options than it has with previous planes. Those new features and other aspects of 787′s computer network go beyond the scope of existing regulations, so the Federal Aviation Administration is requiring Boeing to show the new technology won’t pose a safety threat.
