During the late 1990s, Boeing considered replacement aircraft programs due to slowing sales of the 767 and 747-400.Two new aircraft were proposed. The 747X would have lengthened the 747-400 and improved efficiency, and the Sonic Cruiser would have achieved 15% higher speeds (approximately Mach 0.98) while burning fuel at the same rate as the 767.

The other is Boeing's fly-by-wire system, used in the Boeing 777, Boeing 787 Dreamliner and Boeing 747-8. [4] [6] These newer aircraft use electronic control systems to increase safety and performance while saving aircraft weight.
In addition, AFDX™ can provide quality of service and dual link redundancy. Building on the experience from the A380, the Airbus A350 also uses an AFDX™ network, with avionics and systems supplied by Rockwell Collins. [6] AFDX™ using fiber optic rather than copper interconnections is used on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. [7]

The largest passenger plane to land in Antarctica in history touched down on a snow-filled runway, opening the remote region up to new possibilities. The Norse Atlantic Boeing 787 Dreamliner ...
The communications include air traffic control clearances, pilot requests, and position reporting. FANS-1 is Boeing's solution and FANS-A is the Airbus solution. The main industry standards describing the operation of FANS-1/A products are ARINC 622 and EUROCAE ED-100/RTCA DO-258. Both the Airbus A380 and Boeing 787 have FANS-1/A capability.
A Boeing engineer-turned-whistleblower who contends that the aerospace giant’s 787 Dreamliner is unsafe to fly due to assembly flaws doubled down on his claims Tuesday, saying that the plane ...
The document was published by RTCA, Incorporated, in a joint effort with EUROCAE, completed in November 2005.The lessons learned in certifying early approaches to IMA in commercial aircraft such as the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and the Airbus A380 helped inform the development of the standard.
