Dreamliner has ability to carry up to 250 passengers who make it suitable and more economical compared to other jets In addition to bringing big-jet ranges to mid-size airplanes, the 787 provides airlines with unmatched fuel efficiency, resulting in exceptional environmental performance. The airplane uses 20 percent less fuel than today's similarly sized airplanes. It will also travel at a similar speed as today's fastest wide bodies, Mach 0.85. Airlines will enjoy more cargo revenue capacity. The interior design is more improved and convenient to all passengers includes (tourist and those travel for business meetings) compared to other jets.
The 787 program was launched in April 2004 with a record order from All-Nippon Airways. Fifty-seven customers from six continents of the world have placed orders for more than 800 airplanes valued at more than $185 billion, making it the most successful twin-aisle launch of a new commercial airplane in Boeing's history.
The 787 program opened its final assembly plant in Everett in May 2007 and in North Charleston in July 2011. First flight of the 787-8 Dreamliner occurred on December 15, 2009, followed by certification in August 2011. First delivery of the 787-8 to ANA took place on Sept. 25, 2011.
Today, progress continues with the 787-9 Dreamliner, which is scheduled for first flight and first delivery in 2013 and early next year, respectively. With the min of improving tourism and helping tourist to be able to tour more conveniently United states federation aviation has decided to grant permission to Boeing to carry out test flights on the 787 Dreamliner.
All
the fifty dreamliners have been grounded due to technical failures for instance
a case where one plane caught fire, another case is where a plane was forced to
make emergency landing due to engine problem with hire considerations on
tourism industry which is the highest booster on our economy the United States Federation
Aviation has decided to get the plane tested before they are trusted to commercial
purposes.
The
FAA said the test flights will help collect data about battery performance
“while the aircraft is airborne”.
The
FAA said it had asked Boeing to conduct extensive pre-flight testing and
inspections and that the flights would be conducted “in defined airspace over
unpopulated areas”.
The
tests are seen as a first step in the process of getting the Dreamliner back in
the air.
