Boeing Rolls Out 787-10 Dreamliner for Commercial Use

Boeing rolled out the 787-10 Dreamliner built for commercial use at its Final Assembly facility in North Charleston, S.C. Singapore Airlines is the launch customer of the 787-10 and currently has 30 airplanes on firm order. The airline also signed a letter of intent in February to purchase 19 additional 787-10s. Boeing says that as an 18-foot (5.5-m) stretch of the 787-9, the 787-10 will deliver 25 percent better fuel per seat and emissions than the airplanes it will replace. The 787 Dreamliner is the first major commercial airplane to have a composite fuselage, composite wings, and use composites in most other airframe components. According to aircraft database Airframer.com, the Dreamliner incorporates composite materials from 19 companies, including Hexcel, Toray, Orbital ATK, The Gill Corporation, TenCate and Solvay.
