Aero Linx: 787 Dreamliner
Flight Test
The home page for the Boeing Dreamliner 787 Flight test program,
the 787-8 Dreamliner will carry 210–250 passengers on routes
of 7,650 to 8,200 nautical miles, while the 787-9 Dreamliner will
carry 250 – 290 passengers on routes of 8,000 to 8,500
nautical miles. 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
today’s similarly sized airplane. It will also travel at
speeds similar to today’s fastest wide bodies, Mach 0.85.
