Its materials, listed by weight, are 50% composite, 20% aluminum, 15% titanium, 10% steel, and 5% other; the aircraft will be 80% composite by volume. Each 787 contains approximately 35 short tons of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), made with 23 tons of carbon fiber. Aluminum is used on wing and tail leading edges, titanium used mainly on engines and fasteners, with steel used in various places. On the 787, Honeywell and Rockwell-Collins provide flight control, guidance, and other avionics systems, including standard dual head up guidance systems, while Thales supplies the integrated standby flight display and electrical power conversion system. A version of Ethernet (Avionics Full-Duplex Switched Ethernet (AFDX) / ARINC 664) will be used to transmit data between the flight deck and aircraft systems. The flight deck features LCD multi-function displays, all of which will use an industry standard GUI widget toolkit (Cockpit Display System Interfaces to User Systems / ARINC 661). The Lockheed Martin Orion spacecraft will use a glass cockpit derived from Honeywell International's 787 flight deck. Boeing 787 Dreamliner (wallpaper 4).

The 787 flight deck includes two head-up displays (HUDs) as a standard feature. Like other Boeing airliners, the 787 will use a yoke instead of a side-stick. The future integration of forward looking infrared into the HUD system for thermal sensing so the pilots can "see" through the clouds is under consideration. The risks of using a composite fuselage have been questioned by a former Boeing engineer, noting that carbon fiber, unlike metal, does not visibly show cracks and fatigue; the rival A350 was later announced to be using composite panels on a frame, a more traditional approach, which its contractors regarded as less risky. Further concerns include that, during crash-landings, survivable in metal planes, a composite fuselage could shatter and burn with toxic fumes. The porous properties of composite materials, allowing them to absorb unwanted moisture, have been questioned. As the aircraft reaches altitude, the moisture expands, and may cause delamination of the composite materials, and structural weakness over time. Boeing has dismissed criticisms of its fuselage materials, insisting that composites have been used on wings and other passenger aircraft parts for many years, and they have not been an issue. They have also stated that special defect detection procedures will be put in place to detect any potential hidden damage. Another concern arises from the risk of lightning strikes, with composite having as much as 1,000 times less electrical conductivity than aluminum, increasing the risk of damage. Boeing has stated that the 787's lightning protection will meet FAA requirements, and FAA management was planning to adjust some requirements, which will help the 787 show compliance. In summer 2010, a 787 experienced an in-flight lightning strike without damage. Boeing 787 Dreamliner (wallpaper 4). Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft images wallpaper gallery 4.

Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft images wallpaper gallery 3. Boeing 787 Dreamliner airplane pictures and images collection 3. Passenger Aircraft. Boeing 787 Dreamliner gives you the opportunity to pilot one of the biggest and most exciting new passenger airliners in the world. With more than 400 of them on order now from airlines around the world, the Boeing 787 looks to be a true "next generation" aircraft. Although not scheduled to enter service until 2008, Boeing's latest offering will carry 300 passengers up to 8000 miles at Mach .85. Its high-tech design will also make it the most fuel efficient jetliner in the world. Designed with painstaking attention to detail, the developers of this Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004/FSX compatible expansion pack had their top designer, the legendary Tolga Piskin, spend hour upon hour recreating the immersive feel of this aircraft's superb cockpit. The Boeing 787 Dreamliner benefits from a strikingly handsome outer body, but this package's real pièce de resistance is the full 3D virtual cockpit. The specialised instrumentation includes a customised Flight Management Computer (FMC) which is virtually identical to the real thing along with complete easy-to-follow documentation to learn how to use it.

The FMC works with Flight Simulator's built in Flight Planner and allows you to fly virtually hands-off except for taking off and landing. This package also includes a series of flights for you to pilot which represent authentic passenger routes and schedules. The longest-range 787 variant can fly 8,000 to 8,500 nautical miles (14,800 to 15,700 km), enough to cover the Los Angeles to Bangkok or New York City to Taipei routes. It will have a cruising airspeed of Mach 0.85 (561 mph, 903 km/h at typical cruise altitudes). The 787-8 and -9 will be certified to 330 minute ETOPS capability. External features include raked wingtips and engine nacelles with noise-reducing serrated edges. The two different engine models compatible with the 787 use a standard electrical interface to allow an aircraft to be fitted with either Rolls-Royce or General Electric engines. This aims to save time and cost when changing engine types; while previous aircraft can have engines changed to those of a different manufacturer, the high cost and time required makes it rare. In 2006, Boeing addressed reports of an extended change period by stating that the 787 engine swap was intended to take 24 hours; engine interchangeability, it is reported, makes the 787 a more flexible asset to airlines, allowing them to change easily from one manufacturer's engine to the other if required.

The first 787 was unveiled in July 2007, but its development has since been beset with technical glitches. The aircraft was originally scheduled to enter service in May 2008, but the project is now running two and a half years behind schedule. The plane is being assembled at Boeing’s Everett factory in Washington State, USA, but the decision to outsource much of the development work to external suppliers has left the project blighted by parts shortages and fitting errors. The first Dreamliners are scheduled to enter service later this year, but Boeing has admitted further glitches could see delivery slip into early 2011. The company recently halted flight tests on the first 787s after finding some had improperly installed parts in the horizontal stabiliser, a smaller wing on the aircraft's tail. The aircraft’s maiden flight, originally scheduled for August 2007, took off from Everett, Washington in December 2009. Since then the flight test program has undergone approximately 1,100 flight test hours. Boeing 787 Dreamliner (wallpaper 2). Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft images wallpaper gallery 2. Boeing 787 Dreamliner airplane pictures and images collection 2. The first plane ever to have a fuselage made entirely of carbon composite material, rather than aluminium sheets riveted together, the 787 is built for speed and efficiency. The one-piece fuselage will eliminate 1,500 aluminium sheets and around 50,000 fastners, while the use of carbon composites will make the plane lighter and more fuel efficient. Its Rolls-Royce and General Electric engines will emit 20 per cent less carbon dioxide than other planes of a similar size, Boeing has. The longest-range 787 variant can fly 8,000 to 8,500 nautical miles (14,800 to 15,700 km), enough to cover the Los Angeles to Bangkok or New York City to Taipei routes. Its maximum cruising speed is Mach 0.85 (561 miles per hour). Boeing currently has 860 Dreamliner orders on its books from customers in 56 countries, worth almost £100bn ($150bn). All Nippon Airways, the launch customer, has placed 55 orders, while the Australian airline Qantas has ordered 50 Dreamliners for its budget subsidiary Jetstar. ILFC, which leases aircraft to airlines worldwide, is the largest customer with a total order of 74 orders. Russia is reportedly pressing Boeing to deliver 787s to the state-run airline Aeroflot in time for the 2014 Olympics. Boeing has said it expects a “healthy increase” in orders following the Farnborough Airshow 2010. Boeing 787 Dreamliner (wallpaper 2). Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft images wallpaper gallery 2.

Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft images wallpaper gallery 1. Boeing 787 Dreamliner airplane pictures and images collection 1. Passenger Aircraft. The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is a long-range, mid-size, wide-body, twin-engine jet airliner developed by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. It seats 210 to 330 passengers, depending on the variant. Boeing states that it is the company's most fuel-efficient airliner and the world's first major airliner to use composite materials for most of its construction. The 787 consumes 20% less fuel than the similarly-sized Boeing 767. Some of its distinguishing features include a four-panel windshield, noise-reducing chevrons on its engine nacelles, and a smoother nose contour. The aircraft's initial designation was 7E7, prior to its renaming in January 2005. The first 787 was unveiled in a roll-out ceremony on July 8, 2007, at Boeing's Everett assembly factory, by which time it had become the fastest-selling wide-body airliner in history with 677 orders. By February 2011, 847 Boeing 787s had been ordered by 56 customers. As of 2011, launch customer All Nippon Airways has the largest number of 787s on order. Boeing 787 Dreamliner (wallpaper 1). Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft images wallpaper gallery 1. Boeing 787 Dreamliner airplane pictures and images collection 1. The 787 development and production has involved a large-scale collaboration with numerous suppliers around the globe. It is being assembled at the Boeing Everett Factory in Everett, Washington. Aircraft will also be assembled at a new factory in North Charleston, South Carolina. Both sites will deliver 787s to airline customers. Originally planned to enter service in May 2008, the project has suffered from repeated delays and is now more than three years behind schedule. The airliner's maiden flight took place on December 15, 2009, and it is currently undergoing flight testing with a goal of receiving certification in mid-2011 and entering service with All Nippon Airways in the third quarter of 2011. During the late 1990s, Boeing began considering replacement aircraft programs as sales for the 767 and Boeing 747-400 slowed. The company proposed two new aircraft, the 747X, which would have lengthened the 747-400 and improved efficiency, and the Sonic Cruiser, which would have achieved 15% higher speeds (approximately Mach 0.98) while burning fuel at the same rate as the existing 767. Market interest for the 747X was tepid, but the Sonic Cruiser had brighter prospects. Several major airlines in the United States, including Continental Airlines, initially showed enthusiasm for the Sonic Cruiser concept, although they also expressed concerns about the operating cost.
