Boeing 787 : A dream come true


Dreamliner

Its a plane which will make you feel of your dreams coming true. Inside the flight one will not be able to hear the outside noise. The mood lighting inside the cabin makes you feel comfortable to sleep & also helps you avert jet lag. Its aerodynamically very efficient & glider type plane. It is fuel efficient.  There are 3 variants of 787(-8,-9,-10) out of which only -8 & -9 are currently operational.
The major differences between all the models is fuselage length, capacity and range. The more the capacity & length the less is the range.
