| Responding
to the overwhelming preference of airlines around the world, Boeing
Commercial Airplanes has focused its new airplane product development
efforts on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, a super-efficient airplane. An
international team of top aerospace companies is developing the airplane,
led by Boeing at its Everett facility near Seattle, Wash. The 787-8
Dreamliner and 787-9 airplanes will carry 217-257 passengers in tri-class
configurations on routes of 8,500 and 8,300 nautical miles (15,700 and
15,400 kilometres) respectively. A third 787 family member, the 787-3
Dreamliner will accommodate nearly 289 passengers in a two-class
configuration and be optimized for routes of 3,500 nautical miles (6,500
km). In addition to bringing big-jet ranges to mid-size airplanes, the 787
will provide airlines with unmatched fuel efficiency, resulting in
exceptional environmental performance. The airplane will use 20 percent less
fuel for comparable missions than any other wide-body airplane. It will also
travel at speeds similar to today’s fastest wide bodies, Mach 0.85.
Customers will enjoy 40- to 60-percent more cargo revenue capacity.
Passengers will also see improvements with the new airplane, from an
interior environment with higher humidity to increased comfort and
convenience. |
