Boeing B787 is the replacement for B767, made with high tech, specially good fuel efficiency and it is known as Y2 - Boeing Yellowstone project. With the passenger capacities between 220 seats to 300 seats and flight range between 15.700km (787-8) and 16.300km (787-9), B787 will be suitable for long range international flights (or high demand domestic flights) will strongly challenge in the same market with B777, Airbus A330, A340, long range high passenger capacity just below the B747-400, B747-800 or Airbus A380.
Boeing 787 uses carbon fibre and high tech cock
pit and all passenger windows are equipped with LED blinders. B787 dreamliner official product information, and the all new look cockpit which is developed from B777, will be much closer to military fighter rather than commercial airliner.
Airbus has announced to build Airbus A350 series basically re-developed version of A330 series, but Boeing B 787 is completely new airplane with higher fuel efficiency about 20% by both new engine and new aerodynamic wings and body.
The price is between 150M (787-8) to 180M (787-9), too good to beat the A330, A340 and also seriously challenge the fellow Boeing B777, because of that.
