The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is a super-efficient family of commercial airplanes that brings those far-reaching places a little closer to home.
In response to airline input, Boeing designed the 787 family with superior efficiency and versatility, which allows airlines to profitably open new routes and fly people directly where they want to go, when they want to go in exceptional comfort.
Boeing created a better flying experience with its 787 Dreamliner family by combining its unique understanding of how the human body reacts to flight conditions and how emerging technologies can improve those conditions
The 787 Dreamliner features a state-of-the-art flight deck that balances commonality with the latest enhancements. New technologies are integrated while still maintaining a significant amount of commonality with other Boeing airplanes, particularly the 777. Familiar Boeing controls, displays and procedures all support shorter transition periods to the 787 from other Boeing family members, enabling efficient Mixed Fleet Flying.
Noise quality in the cabin is an important part of any flight. A holistic approach to cabin noise quality, utilizing innovative solutions throughout the airplane, addresses the cause of noise and vibrations and provides passengers with a calmer experience.
The quiet design of the 787 Dreamliner ensures sounds of 85 decibels or higher (slightly louder than a busy street) never leave airport boundaries. In fact, the noise footprint of the 787 is up to 60 percent smaller than the airplane it replaces.
A report issued by the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority determined the 787 is significantly quieter than the airplanes it replaces.
The 787 Dreamliner is designed and built with a sustainable product life in mind. The 787 is built in Boeing South Carolina at a net-zero emissions manufacturing facility. The primarily composite structure, advanced aerodynamics, and efficient engines of the 787 enable it to have 25% lower fuel use and emissions than previous generation airplanes. At the end of the airplane's service life, a portion of the materials used to build the 787 can be recycled. Boeing continues to research further recycling opportunities and composites.
The 787 Dreamliner family has received over 1,900 orders from more than 80 customers on six continents—Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America and South America.
The unparalleled fuel efficiency and range flexibility of the 787 helps airlines optimize their fleets and networks while opening new nonstop routes. The 787 has launched about 400 new direct routes since entering service.
