Boeing 787

The Boeing 787, also referred to as the Dreamliner, is a long-haul aircraft that the American manufacturer has been producing since 2007. The wide-body aircraft relies on two engines in the air and was designed as a replacement for the 767. Compared to it, it is understandably more modern and also significantly more fuel efficient.

The model is produced in several versions. The boeing 787 made its maiden flight on December 15, 2009, and was put into service in October 2011.
