The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner revolutionized commercial aviation as the world's first composite-majority widebody airliner, delivering 20 percent better fuel efficiency than its predecessors. First flown on September 17, 2013, it is a twin-engine widebody capable of carrying 290 to 330 passengers in typical three-class configuration. With a wingspan of 197 feet 3 inches and range of 7,635 nautical miles, it enables direct long-haul routes previously impossible for mid-size aircraft. The type was manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes at facilities in Everett, Washington and North Charleston, South Carolina.
