OK I'm just going to say it. This author SERIOUSLY needs to consider making their prose gender-neutral. I could care less what the time period is, it's hostile to women to talk about the engineer "as a boy" and talk about the 787's "grandfather". It's freaking 2015, GET OVER the all-male pronoun business already!!
