Yesterday, Boeing finally had its first full runs of its new 787 Dreamliner. Under development for over five years, this plane has a backlog of orders from companies like United, Continental and Northwest to name some domestiv carriers. This new plane is BIG, holding up to 330 passengers and about the size of a 747.
25,000 people sat in Jacksonville to watch the tests of this plane. Why? Because it's revolutionary! The plane is made of a carbon-composite material which helps in many ways including 20% better fuel efficiency (let's see if they remove that fuel surcharge!), a quieter ride and bigger windows for you and me! Otherwise, the plane boasts better air filtration and state of the art technology throughout the plane.
The first planes are set to be delivered to Japan's Nippon Airways in the next two years as long as everything goes well. After its first tests, the plane exceeded expectations as flights, takeoffs etc went without a hitch! Read more at Boeing's Website.
