Boeing Flies Toward The Future
Posted: January 6, 2012 | By: Kathryn Hunter | Photo: Boeing Image

The new Boeing 787 Dreamliner promises to be a dream come true for both airlines and passengers.

The first carboncomposite airliner, it boasts a 20 percent improvement in fuel efficiency compared to other airplanes of its size, and offers creature comforts like a wider cabin, ambient lighting, quieter engines, bigger touch-screen entertainment panels and seat-to seat e-mail.

Windows are 30 percent larger and can be dimmed electronically (smart glass), and the cabin maintains a higher humidity level and air pressure, which makes the interior more comfortable.

The Dreamliner completed its first flight carrying paying passengers on Oct. 26 in Japan and is expected to start flying in the U.S. late this year.
