What is the Dreamliner effect?

One airline flying the type coined the phrase 'The Dreamliner Effect' when describing the significant uplift the aircraft is having on its business. Boeing has always claimed the operational economics of the Dreamliner would transform the way airlines thinks about network development.

We call it the Dreamliner effect. The airplane's unparalleled fuel efficiency and range flexibility enables carriers to profitably open new routes as well as optimize fleet and network performance. And for their passengers, an experience like none other in the air, with more comfort and less fatigue.

The 787 Dreamliner family features an advanced fly-by-wire flight control system. Instead of a mechanical system of cables and pulleys that move the control surfaces on the wing and tail, fly-by-wire systems translate pilot inputs into electrical signals.

This aircraft has enabled airline operators to optimize fleet and network performance and offers increased “point-to-point” service, as it has exceptional efficiency, capacity, and range. As of December 2022, total orders for B787 reached 1,608, with 1,039 aircraft delivered.

The more-electric architecture of the 787 Dreamliner family eliminates the pneumatic and bleed-air system. The electric system improves efficiency by extracting only the power actually needed during each phase of flight.

In July 2003, a public naming competition was held for the 7E7, for which out of 500,000 votes cast online the winning title was Dreamliner.

The Dreamliner's lightweight composite structure contributes to reduced noise levels, both inside and outside the aircraft. The use of advanced soundproofing materials and quieter engines keeps the cabin environment more tranquil for passengers.

The 787 Dreamliner uses a “bleedless” pressurisation system, meaning that it does not use any bleed air from the aircraft's engines.

In terms of capacity, it is abundantly clear that the A380 can carry significantly more passengers than any 787 variant. With 525 passengers in a standard, three-class configuration, the A380 has a sizeable advantage over the Boeing 787-10, which seats 323 passengers across three classes.

The carbon-fibre structure of the 787 allows the aircraft to be pressurized to a much higher level than on many other aircraft types. The lower the cabin altitude, the better you feel both during and after the flight, allowing your body to adjust to your new time zone more quickly.

United Airlines Holding all three variants of the Dreamliner, United has 16 787-10s within its fleet. They have an average age of just 2.5 years and offer a combined capacity of 6,678 seats. The airline nearly holds the most 787s with 64 units to its name.

The 787 Dreamliner really has changed flying for passengers, pilots and airlines alike. Even though you may not have not noticed it, there are several small differences that all add up to making it one of the best aircraft to fly long-haul on.

MORE DETAILS

The Air Inside The 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.

Incredibly safe. The 787–8, —9 & —10 are as safe as it's going to get in aviation. The issue with the 787 spacing issues — where gaps are larger than 0.005 inches — is a fatigue and cycles related issue. In normal manufacturing, their are manufacturing tolerances to account for slight differences in part builds.
