Like the 777, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner can fly up to 330 minutes (five hours and a half) as a single-engine plane if one engine fails. This is supported by carrying an ETOPS-330 certification.

Infact it can fly for around 60 miles if it loses its engines at a typical cruise altitude of 36,000ft.
When the twin-engine aircraft is certified, part of its assessment is based on how long it can fly on a single-engine. To put it into actual time, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner is certified for ETOPS-330. This means that the plane can fly on routes that take it 330 minutes from the nearest suitable airport for landing.
The 787-8 Dreamliner can fly 242 passengers up to 7,350 nautical miles (13,620 km) in a typical two-class configuration. The 787-9, a stretch of the 787-8, can fly 290 passengers 7,635 nautical miles (14,140 km) in addition to more cargo, allowing airlines the ability to grow routes first opened by the 787-8.
Fuel receptacle ground height for the 787-8 and other Boeing airplanes is shown in figure 7. Assuming a 3,730-U.S. gallon (14,120-liter) reserve, the 787-8 can be refueled to capacity in 35 to 60 minutes, depending on the fuel pressure.
Ultra-modern long-haul aircraftThe ultra-modern Dreamliner long-haul aircraft consume an average of only around 2.5 liters of kerosene per passenger per 100 kilometers flown.
Techincally, there is only one way for the aircraft to remain hanging motionless in the air: if weight and lift cancel each other out perfectly, and at the same time thrust and drag cancel each other out too. But this is incredibly rare. To stay in the air and sustain its flight, an aircraft needs to be moving forward.
Boeing 787 DreamlinerWith its different variants, the Dreamliner can fly faster than most passenger aircraft on the market today. It is capable of flying at 690 mph (Mach 0.9), making it one of the fastest jetliners. The 787 family is operated by over 39 different carriers.
•Because the 787 is pressurized at about 6,000 feet rather than 8,000 feet, you'll breathe easier. More oxygen in your lungs means better sleep, less chance of headache, no difficulty breathing (flying at altitude is like sleeping at a ski resort).
As with every Boeing airplane, the 787 includes many layers of redundancy for continued safe operation, and the electrical system is no exception. For example, Boeing has demonstrated that the 787 can fly for more than 330 minutes on only one engine and one of the six generators and land safely.
For a rough estimate, most jet airliners takeoff and land at , roughly, 140–150 mph. Of course we deal with knots, but for a “civilian”, 150 mph. Has the 787 Dreamliner been a success for Boeing and its customers?
The Dreamliner is a successful aircraft, still in production with more than 1600 delivered or on order. The list price for a new Boeing 787-8 is $239 million dollars. Yet even as international travel opens again for these long-range aircraft, two Dreamliners barely ten years old are waiting for the wrecker's ball.
The 787's latest problem mirrors production issues discovered over 2020 and 2021 that included improperly fitted shimming that led to paper-thin gaps between surfaces on the Dreamliner's fuselage.
This high aspect ratio wing design combined with efficiency enhancing raked wing tips allow the 787 to be one of the fastest commercial aircraft (Mach 0.85 cruise speed) while consuming less fuel than today's comparably sized aircraft.
The Air InsideThe cabin pressure on the 787 is higher and the humidity higher than other airplanes. Basically, passengers on board will feel like they are at an altitude of 6,000 feet, 2,000 feet lower than a standard flight.
Airplanes are designed with sensors in the cockpit that notify the pilot when an engine fails. Once the sensor goes off, the pilot will begin to perform the steps for an emergency landing. Among other things, this means descending to a lower altitude and, potentially, reducing the airplane's speed.
Some aircraft damage from lightning strikes includes broken lighting and windows, deformed antenna placements, and onboard electronics malfunctions. Other abnormalities or warnings on the flight deck, such as cabin air pressurization problems or false alarms, can occur after your airplane has been struck by lightning.
