One of the Boeing 787’s most appealing features to its operators is its extremely expandable operational range.
The Dreamliner’s range varies slightly across its three models. The figures, according to Boeing, are as follows:
- 787-8 – 7,305 NM (13,530 km)
- 787-9 – 7,530 NM (13,950 km) (Dreamliner)
- 787-10 – 6,345 NM (11,750 km)
These figures are the product of significant research and development by the American manufacturer, which resulted in an array of fuel-saving features. One of these fuel-saving features is the aircraft’s eye-catching, and arguably beautiful – curving wing shape.
