Status

In production

The Boeing 787-10 is the largest and heaviest variant of the 787 Dreamliner family, stretching the fuselage by approximately 5.5 meters compared to the 787-9. It seats around 330 passengers in a typical two-class configuration and is designed for high-density, medium- to long-range routes where efficiency and comfort are paramount. Like its siblings, the 787-10 benefits from extensive use of composite materials, fuel-efficient turbofan engines, and advanced aerodynamics, delivering roughly 25% better fuel efficiency per seat compared to the aircraft it typically replaces. Its range of approximately 11,910 km makes it well-suited for regional trunk routes and intercontinental sectors that do not require the ultra-long-range capability of the 787-9. The aircraft entered service in 2018 with Singapore Airlines and has since been adopted by a range of carriers seeking high-capacity efficiency on busy corridors. It shares a high degree of commonality with other 787 variants, reducing training and maintenance costs for operators.

Notable operators

Major operators include Singapore Airlines, United Airlines, All Nippon Airways, Etihad Airways, and Korean Air.

Encyclopaedia

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner, often shortened to Boeing 787, is an American wide-body airliner developed and manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. After dropping its unconventional Sonic Cruiser project, Boeing announced the conventional 7E7 on January 29, 2003, which focused largely on efficiency. The program was launched on April 26, 2004, with an order for 50 aircraft from All Nippon Airways (ANA), targeting a 2008 introduction. On July 8, 2007, a prototype 787 without major operating systems was rolled out; subsequently the aircraft experienced multiple delays, until its maiden flight on December 15, 2009. Type certification was received in August 2011, and the first 787-8 was delivered in September 2011 and entered commercial service in October 2011, with ANA.
