The Boeing 787 Dreamliner's Unique Wing Design That Sets It Apart From Every Other Widebody

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner family has become a staple of long-haul flying. The aircraft family consists of three variants: the 787-8, which is the shortest of the three, the longer-range 787-9, and the stretched 787-10, which offers the highest passenger capacity. More than 1,000 787s have been delivered to airlines around the world. The US planemaker launched the 787 program in 2004 as it looked to give airlines a more fuel-efficient option for long-distance flying. The company initially targeted a 20% reduction in fuel burn compared with aircraft such as the 767.
