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 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.
In service. 2015–present. 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 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]
BBJ 787 Family: Based on Boeing's commercial 787 Dreamliner, the BBJ 787 is a large business jet featuring a composite airframe and low cabin altitude system. The BBJ 787−8 and the BBJ 787-9 are long-range aircraft, with ranges of 9,960 nmi (18,445 km; 11,460 mi) and 9,475 nmi (17,550 km; 10,904 mi), respectively, with 25 passengers.
Cruise (aeronautics) A Qantas four-engined Boeing 747-400 at cruise altitude. Cruise is the phase of aircraft flight that starts when the aircraft levels off after a climb, until it begins to descend for landing. [1] Cruising usually comprises the majority of a flight, and may include small changes in heading (direction of flight), airspeed ...
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]
