The Chicago-based aerospace
company Boeing has launched its latest plane on Sunday. 787 Dreamliner features
highly efficient engines and seems to be the ultimate long-distance carrier, as
well the fastest-selling new plane from the commercial aviation’s history.
Boeing has already received 677
orders for 787 Dreamliner, which has been unveiled on Sunday in front of a
large crowd of people. About 15,000 people have attended the event, while
25,000 Boeing workers watched the through live video link the whole festivity.
787 Dreamliner has been praised
for its unprecedented speed, but also for its design. The new plane employs
more composite materials in its fuselage and its carbon-fiber wings than any
other plane. This improvement, as well as others, has made out of 787
Dreamliner a revolutionary plane that is to bring Boeing fame and glory
worldwide.
While the plane’s wings and
fuselage are made in Italy
and Japan
and the jet engines are General Electric’s Genx and Rolls Royce’s Trent 1000,
which would make it even more popular, its number of seats is just of 200 or
300. However, the flight range stretches to 15,700 kilometers.
787 Dreamliner has been scheduled
to first fly in August or September. The new Boeing plane will then demonstrate
that it was build to really be a star in the sky! Its creators have praised him
a lot and they have also mentioned a 20 per cent reduction in fuel use for 787
Dreamliner, but till August or September the plane will still be dreamed about
the airlines and everyone else.
