On the day of its launch, over 670 units had been ordered by 48 international airlines, making it the most successful commercial aviation industry worldwide at all times. Be able to carry 200-350 passengers, depending on model and configuration of the aircraft interior.
It will be the first commercial aircraft to be manufactured primarily with composite material and carbon fiber. Replace the Boeing 767 and Boeing 757. Designed to be a long-range aircraft, will make nonstop flights between cities far away, who never had a direct connection. It is expected that the scope of the Boeing 787 is the average of 6500 km (-3 model, higher passenger capacity) to 15,000 km (models -8 and -9).
The Boeing 787 is produced with 50% composite materials and aluminum 20%, 15% titanium, 10% steel and 5% other materials. The Boeing 777 has only 12% of composite materials and 50% aluminum.

It has three engines - RR / GE - the range varies from 4,650 km (787-3) to 15,750 km (787-8), the first was developed for the Japanese market by replacing the A300-600R, and even 767-200/-300 the 777-200 on some routes.
Your cost per mile is 12% lower than airplanes of similar size and thanks to its composite structure, it weighs only 130 tons, against 180 of the A330, which is considered a direct competitor. In addition, the fuel consumption of 787 is 20% smaller than its more modern competitors, which dramatically changed the interest from prospective buyers of Airbus aircraft, in support of this modern launch of Boeing.
Furthermore it is 60% quieter than any jet. While a Boeing 767 needs every six years to do a thorough review, the 787 is twelve years.
