Planform view of a 787-9 showing its 9.6 wing aspect ratio and 32° wing sweep Front view of a Vietnam Airlines 787-10, the fuselage is 19 ft (5.8 m) wide and 19 + 1 ⁄ 2 ft (5.94 m) high while the fan has a 9.3 ft (2.8 m) diameter. The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is a long-haul, widebody, twin-engine jetliner, designed with lightweight structures ...
Note that a lower cabin altitude is a higher pressure. The cabin pressure is controlled by a cabin pressure schedule, which associates each aircraft altitude with a cabin altitude. The new airliners such as the Airbus A350 and Boeing 787 will have lower maximum cabin altitudes which help in passenger fatigue reduction during flights.
The Airbus A350 is a long-range, wide-body twin-engine airliner developed and produced by Airbus. The initial A350 design proposed in 2004, in response to the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, would have been a development of the Airbus A330 with composite wings and new engines.
The 787's internal cabin pressure is the equivalent of 6,000 ft (1,829 m) altitude resulting in a higher pressure than for the 8,000 ft (2,438 m) altitude of older conventional aircraft; [62] according to a joint study performed by Boeing and Oklahoma State University, such a level significantly improves comfort levels.
The order included twelve options for additional Boeing 787-9 or Boeing 787-10 aircraft. [38] The 787-10 will be fitted with General Electric GEnx engines, in contrast to the Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines fitted to the airline's 787-9 fleet. [39] On 24 September 2019, Air New Zealand officially signed the order for the 787-10. [citation needed]
The Trent 1000 is the launch engine on both initial 787 variants, the -8 with ANA and the -9 with Air New Zealand. [6] On 27 September 2007, British Airways announced the selection of the Trent 1000 to power 24 Boeing 787. On 2 August 2010, a Trent 1000 suffered an uncontained engine failure of the intermediate turbine on a test stand. [7]
February 9, 1963 [3] The Boeing 727 is an American narrow-body airliner that was developed and produced by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. After the heavier 707 quad-jet was introduced in 1958, Boeing addressed the demand for shorter flight lengths from smaller airports. On December 5, 1960, the 727 was launched with 40 orders each from United ...
The FAA's airworthiness directive impacts 158 U.S.-registered airplanes and 737 airplanes worldwide and requires airlines to inspect the captain’s and first officer’s seats on 787-7, 787-9 ...
