The Boeing 787 Dreamliner, a modern commercial airliner, first took flight in December 2009 and entered service in October 2011. Over 1,100 units have been built, and the aircraft is known for its distinctive design features like a four-window cockpit and noise-reducing engine chevrons.
The Dreamliner comes in three variants: the 787-8, 787-9, and 787-10. These models can carry between 248 to 336 passengers and are suited for both regional and long-haul flights. According to Boeing's overview, it is the best-selling passenger widebody aircraft due to its efficiency and range capabilities.
All three variants of the Dreamliner can reach speeds up to Mach 0.90 or about 956 kilometers per hour as stated by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). However, their ranges differ significantly; the longest range belongs to the 787-9 at approximately 7,565 nautical miles.
