Yes, the Boeing 787 is officially and widely known as the Dreamliner. This name was chosen in 2003 through a global online public naming contest that received over 500,000 votes, beating out other finalists like "Global Cruiser," "Stratoclimber," and "eLiner." In 2026, the Dreamliner remains one of the most advanced commercial aircraft in the sky, primarily due to its composite airframe (made largely of carbon fiber) which allows for larger windows, a higher cabin humidity, and a lower "cabin altitude" of 6,000 feet, significantly reducing the effects of jet lag for passengers. The aircraft comes in three main variants: the 787-8, 787-9, and the largest 787-10. Beyond its name, the Dreamliner is technically distinguished by its "raked wingtips" and noise-reducing "chevron" patterns on the engine nacelles. It has become a favorite for airlines like ANA, United, and British Airways for long-haul "point-to-point" routes that were previously not economically viable for larger, four-engine jumbo jets like the 747.
