Dreamliner

The newest aircraft on the market by Boeing is the 787 dreamliner. Every one is talking about what this aircraft will do got the industry. Let take a moment to see what is going on.

 Boeing forested that about19,400 planes in 2010 to more than 39,500 by 2030. With that the fasted growing rate is fro twin-aisle at about 4.4 percent annually. This, with the demand for high efficient aircraft that can also make to to China, has led Boeing to develop the 787.

Boeing put out two series to the 787. The 8 and 9. The 8 ranges from 7,650 to 8,200 nautical miles and can seat up to 250 pax. Where the 9 series  ranges from 8,000 to 8,500 nautical miles and seats 290 pax. This airplane uses 20 percent less fuel than today's similarly sized airplanes. It will also travel at a similar speed as today's fastest wide bodies, Mach 0.85. Airlines will enjoy more cargo revenue capacity.

The 787 is unlikely aircraft out there today. Compost materials make up 50% of its primary structure. It also has more "leg room" and the window are much bigger to give the pax a better view outside.

I feel that this will shine some positive media onto Boeing, increasing their popularity with the public. this will help them gain more orders and help them peruse newer and more advanced technologies. this will help the industry as well. I believe this might get people exited about flying again. People might want to get out and get aviation back on track for profit

  1. So good basic facts, but not a very detailed discussion about the B787's impact on the overall industry and the competing company.
