Dreamliner is a dream plane, it is beautiful name rightfully belongs to one of the most modern airliners of our time - the Boeing 787.

The aircraft was created in the early 2000s by the American manufacturer of the same name - The Boeing Company, a world leader in the production of aviation and space technology. This is the first airliner model with a superior proportion of composite materials in the design and the introduction of the latest NASA developments. Thanks to this, the project - 7E7 has become practical and in demand among air carriers.

History of creation

At the end of the 1990s, the Boeing airline was actively promoting its latest development under the index - 777. The model surpassed the Boeing-767 in terms of comfort and technological innovations.

These aircraft were rapidly becoming morally obsolete and needed urgent modernization or a more radical solution, disposal. For Boeing, this issue has become a priority. Soon the management issued a verdict: send the model 747 for modernization, and write off the model 767.

The latter had to give way to the futuristic airliner - Sonic Cruiser, which was planned as a transonic aircraft that has no competition in the world. It was supposed to provide a new vessel with similar characteristics in terms of passenger capacity with the liner 767.

At the same time, it was planned to increase the speed parameters of the aircraft to 1100 km/h.

The terms of reference did not involve breaking the sound barrier, but the project of the aircraft of the future was very promising. He was especially expected on airlines with a long flight duration of 10-12 hours. But the project was not accepted for development.

The beginning of the 21st century was remembered by mankind as the largest terrorist act in America, referred to as 9/11. The tragedy was the cause of a large-scale US military operation in Afghanistan. The consequence of these events was an increase in the cost of oil. Due to this, development of the Sonic Cruiser was officially discontinued by 2002.

Since the planned fuel consumption of the aircraft of this project could hardly be called economical, and, consequently, the operating costs could outweigh the profit from flights.
However, the developments on the transonic airliner did not go unnoticed.

A month after the inglorious end of the ambitious SC program, Boeing announced the start of a new project - 7E7. As planned by the engineers, an airliner of a classic layout was to be born, but using the latest technologies from the Sonic Cruiser national project.

The main idea of ​​the engineers contained the following conditions: an aircraft for operation on long-haul airlines with the ability to land at small hub airports.

New project actually continued the idea of ​​the Boeing 767 airliner in the 21st century.

Among those interested in the fate of the project, the question arose, what does the letter E mean in the 7E7 index? They found various explanations for it, such as Environmentalism (environment), Efficient (effective) and Eight, (No. 8). In addition to this riddle, the Boeing company announced a competition for the name of a new aircraft. According to the voting results, the victory was won by the slogan - Dreamliner (dream plane).

In 2004, the first customer for the "dream plane" appeared. This is the Japanese carrier ANA (All Nippon Airways). The pre-order struck with its scale. According to the contract, Boeing has committed to build 50 aircraft for the country. rising sun with the delivery of the first units of aircraft in 2008.

On the basis of two liners, the Boeing-787-9 project was planned, which was supposed to go into series in a couple of years.

A year later, after signing a contract with the Japanese air carrier ANA, Boeing accepted orders for the production of 237 Dreamliner units. The most affordable model was the Boeing-787-8, its cost was $ 120,000,000, which was a relatively low price. However, the low cost did not last long and the aircraft eventually rose in price by $30-$40 million.

Among the mass of proposed power plants, preference was given to two aircraft engines:

• British Rolls-Royce Trent 1000;
• American General Electric GEnx.

These power plants allowed the 787-8 and 787-9 airliners to pass the ETOPS 330 certification, which regulated the following: in the event of an emergency stop of one engine, the aircraft must continue the flight for 5.5 hours.

It is worth noting the fact that the Boeing-787 Dreamliner is an international development.

This circumstance may calm those Russians who are dissatisfied with the large amount of foreign technology in the domestic company Sukhoi.

Boeing contractors working on the 787 project surprise with their geographic location and total. Structural elements for the dream plane are being delivered from different parts of the globe. The assembly of the liner takes place in the city of Everett, Washington.

The number of employees involved in the assembly production is 1200 people. Initially, the scheme for the supply of components and parts from contractor countries to the United States was not worked out, but over time, the process went on track and began to pay for itself. The Boeing-787 supplier network is one of the most diversified and nodal in the history of the aircraft industry.

The contractors include the following foreign companies producing:

• center section and wing - Japanese Mitsubishi;
• horizontal tail plumage - Alenia Aermacchi (Italy) and South Korean Korea Aerospace Industries;
• fuselage modules - full international, Italian Aeronautics, Japanese Kawasaki HI, American Spirit Aerosystems and South Korean Korean Air;
• luggage and interior doors - Swedish Saab;
• electronic equipment - HCL Enterprise (India);
• load-bearing floor frame - TAL Manufacturing Solutions (India);
• power line - Labinal (France);
• aerodynamics of wing mechanization, wing tips, landing gear doors, load-bearing spars - Korean Air;
• chassis mechanism - Messier-Bugatti-Dowty;
• energy system management, air conditioning complex - Hamilton Sundstrand (USA);
• passenger doors - Latecoere (France).

Japan should be singled out separately. According to the statistics of 2017, the enterprises of the country of the rising sun produced 35% of the elements of the Boeing-787 airliner. Four Boeing-747LCF DreamLifter aircraft were used to deliver large parts to the United States. This is an upgraded version of the Boeing 747-400.

Strong demand for the 787 led Boeing to open an additional assembly platform in 2009.

It is located in Charleston, South Carolina.

The attendant difficulties in innovative solutions and delays in the supply of components increased the estimated time frame of the project by two years. This made all Boeing employees nervous. Between themselves, they began to call the liner by an unspoken nickname - Dreadliner (horror plane).

In December 2009, controllers gave permission for the Boeing 787 Dreamlier to take off. This was the first test flight. The long-awaited event took place at the Paine Field experimental airfield, owned by an aircraft factory, in the city of Everett.

Design

Boeing-787 refers to wide-body passenger aircraft for flights on long-distance airlines.

Modern technologies in the manufacture of the liner have increased its flight specifications and at the same time reduce the cost of production.

If we consider the amount of materials in percentage terms, then 50% is occupied by carbon-based composites, then 15% by aluminum alloys, 10% each by titanium and steel alloys, and the remaining 5% are other types of materials.

Passenger cabin plan

The width of the Boeing 787 cabin is 5.5 meters. This exceeds the transverse dimension of the B-767 cabin (4.70 m) and is slightly inferior to the B-777 (5.80 m). The interior of the 787 lineup may differ from each other. Customization is related to the preference of the customer's company. The layout of the passenger rows has the following schemes: for business class: 1 + 2 + 1, 2 + 2 + 2, 2 + 3 + 2, and in economy class 3 + 2 + 3, 2 + 4 + 2, 3 + 3 +3.

The distance between the rows along the axis of the aircraft: 120-150 cm for the first class, 100 cm for the business class, and 80-85 cm for the third class cabin. Each chair has a built-in personal video monitor.

The most cost-effective seating arrangement for an air carrier is the 3+3+3 arrangement for third class. The presented passenger accommodation scheme is widely used by the main competitor.

However, for such an arrangement of seats on the plane, the B-787 does not have enough fuselage width and the cabin is therefore cramped and uncomfortable for people of impressive build. Especially, tall, broad-shouldered men during long flights suffer from a lack of space.

One of the innovative solutions on the Boeing-787 is the increase in the size of the windows.

With 27cm x 47cm windows, it outperformed all other civilian models. It should be added to this that now the windows are not equipped with curtains.

The ability of glass to transmit light is changed with the help of light-absorbing particles introduced into the composition of the glass. It is called electrochromic or smart glass. The passenger can adjust the transparency with the push of a button, but it will not be possible to completely darken the window.

There are no bulbs in the interior lighting. The role of the light source is performed by the lines of LED illuminators. Although this lighting feature is not considered an innovation, as it has already been used in Boeing-777 and Airbus models. However, its distinguishing feature is the complete elimination of lamps in the 787, and not partial, as in the aircraft mentioned above.

The advantages of LED illuminators are that they have low energy consumption and change the tone and color of the lighting. The latter feature adds comfort to the interior of the dream plane.

Business Class

Business class passengers become the owners of the best seats in the Boeing-787. The chairs are large and comfortable in the form of semi-cabins. They are laid out in lying places if necessary. Seats are arranged diagonally in a herringbone pattern to provide the passenger with the greatest privacy.

Each seat is equipped with a large video monitor and multimedia system for those who want to have fun in flight.

The passenger is given a set of socks replacing slippers. And if the flight is at night, pajamas will be offered in addition to socks.

The armrests are raised electrically. There is a small shoe box and a glove compartment for small personal items. At the level of the shoulder joint there is an individual shelf. The front table can be folded in half by pulling it towards you.

The seat belt is equipped with a damper, for those who prefer to sleep fastened. Customer service is personal, just like in a restaurant. The stewardess takes the order and brings it on a tray, no carts.

There are two toilet rooms. They are 1.5 times more spacious than in the economy class. Hygiene items include deodorants and dental care products. It is worth noting that row number 6 is not popular, as it is located near the toilets.

Engines

Boeing-787 can be equipped, at the request of the customer, with one of two types of power plant: Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 or General Electric GEnx-1B. Each aircraft engine is equipped with two generators.

In the device of power plants, the development of research projects was used jointly with the federal agency NASA.

Among a large number innovations, the most effective were: the use of sound-absorbing material and sawtooth chevrons on the nozzles of power plants. The latter contribute to the jet stream to dissolve more gently in the atmosphere.

Despite the fact that the B-787 model is more powerful and heavier than its counterparts, the noise level is 10 dB less than its predecessor Boeing-767 and the aircraft of the competing company Airbus-A330.

Flight performance compared to competitors

Airbus and Boeing have remained the only major airliner manufacturers since the late 1990s. Having eliminated major competitors through acquisitions, the world's two super-aerospace companies are testing each other's strengths and striving to stay ahead of the curve in the use of the latest technology.

Over the past 13 years (2005-2017), Airbus has placed over 11,830 orders and delivered over 6,500 aircraft to customers. While Boeing took more than 11,025 orders and delivered about 6,410 airliners to customers. As you can see, the competition is very intense. But in the overall standings, Boeing has overtaken Airbus.

Consider in the table the flight performance of modern models that are direct competitors.

Conclusion

As of early 2018, Boeing has an order book of 1,283 787 aircraft. Of the total commitments, more than 600 aircraft transferred to customers. Among them are 340 Boeing-787-8s and 260 Boeing-787-9s.

The aircraft is in active service with 39 international airlines on 983 airlines around the world. the globe.

The dream plane is used in the longest route "Peter (Australia) - London (UK)". The flight belongs to Qantas, the only company that operates a route of 14,500 kilometers.

The largest owners of the Boeing-787 Dreamliner are: the Japanese companies ANA - 80 units and Japan Airlines - 39 units, as well as the United States United Airlines - 33 aircraft and the Middle East Qatar Airways - 32 airliners.

All listed airlines have made a large pre-order for the Boeing-787-10.

It is worth noting the fact that the Russian company Aeroflot did not purchase the B-787 model for its fleet, and judging by the number of aircraft ordered, it gave preference to the domestic development of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 and the French manufacturer Airbus with a preference for the A350-900 model.

The Boeing 787 is a wide-body aircraft designed to carry passengers, the Dreamliner or "Dream Plane", was created by The Boeing Company. Today, this liner is very popular with air carriers around the world. The reason for this is the excellent technical characteristics and pleasant design of the aircraft.

Short story

The life of the project begins in 2004. On April 26 of that year, the media covered a new brainchild of Boeing - a project code-named 7E7 as an improved prototype of the Sonic Cruiser (Sonic Cruiser). Already in January 2005, the official name 7E7 was announced - on Boeing 787.

A year later, you could see a model of the finished aircraft with a specific design. 4 years later, after a series of litigations related to the delay in the delivery of aircraft life support parts due to the fault of the manufacturers, December 15, 2009 Boeing 787 Dreamliner took to the air.

The aircraft participated in exhibitions, for example, at Farnborough, one of the world's largest air shows. Visitors to MAKS-2011 could get acquainted with the interesting design of the Dreamliner.

The first delivery of the Dreamler was made on September 25, 2011. Trial piloting was carried out on July 2, 2011 on the Seattle-Haneda route. The aircraft was tested with the participation of All Nippon Airways (ANA). The Boeing 787 was awarded the official certificate confirming the ability of the Dreamliner to carry passengers on August 26, 2011. The aircraft entered mass production and already made its first flight on October 26, 2011.

The Boeing 787 is the world's first aircraft with a monolithic main section fuselage. More than 45 thousand rivets are used in conventional prefabricated aircraft: new model allowed to save due to the monolithic body.

The total development costs of the Dreamliner exceeded $32 billion.

Unrealized project

Interestingly, the history of the creation of the Dreamliner dates back to the late 1990s. At this time, leading Boeing engineers and designers came to the conclusion that the Boeing 767 model was hopelessly outdated, and that a new competitive solution was required - the Sonic Cruiser.

Unfortunately, due to the tragic events with the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001, the expensive project was postponed indefinitely. In addition, the Boeing 787-3 was not put into production - for 295 passengers with a flight range of over 6.5 thousand km. The aircraft was to be used for short distance transportation. Considered as an alternative to the Airbus A300 and Boeing 767 in Japanese domestic airlines. But fate decreed otherwise, and the project was closed on 12.2010 in favor of the 787/8 model.

Design

The design of the long-haul liner contains low-weight composite materials, modern communication systems, and highly economical engines. According to the manufacturer, this model is 20% more fuel efficient compared to the previous version. The Dreamliner's fuselage parts are manufactured in Washington DC.

The corpus contains:

• 50% - composite materials - body;
• 20% - aluminum - in the wings, engine and tail;
• 15% - titanium alloy - in fasteners;
• 10% - steel - power elements;
• 5% - other materials.

As of the end of 2017, over 599 aircraft have been produced. The cost of one Boeing varies from 225 to 306 million US dollars.

The average piloting speed of this aircraft model is 900 km per hour. The flight altitude varies from 12 to 13 km. is a standard indicator for passenger traffic.

Motors are used with low noise levels from:

• General Electric;
• Rolls Royce.

Capacity luggage compartment 2 times higher than the previous model.

cockpit

The cockpit of the Dreamliner involves the use of large-format screens for flight control: they, like military liners, have a head-up display (HUD) that captures any information.

The cockpit is very different from all previous performances by Rockwell Collins:

• 5 liquid crystal displays are connected to the interface;
• 2 HUD displays;
• Ethernet Internet standard - ARINC / 664, protected by multi-stage security protocols that exclude access to ordinary users.

The same cockpit for pilots is used in the MS-21 and Comac C919, on the Orion space models.

Pilots note that the cockpit is easy to operate and intuitive. The energy system is a consolidation of 7 powerful energy generators:

• emergency - 2 pcs.;
• in a jet engine - 2 pcs.;
• in the emergency turbine - 1 pc.

Lithium-ion batteries - the most efficient solution for an aircraft, manufactured by GS Yuasa - 2 pcs. weighing 29 kg each. The first provides the Boeing with an uninterrupted power supply while on the ground and is capable of operating in emergency mode in case of generator failure. The second is used to start engines in the event of an auxiliary power unit shutdown. Used to maintain the functioning of auxiliary aircraft systems. Despite the many advantages of the new battery system, there is a drawback associated with a higher fire hazard compared to the nickel-silicon system.

Cabin

The cabin of the Boeing 787 is equipped with the latest technology: extensive dimensions of the interior - 5.5 m, which makes it an ideal option for customization to the needs of different categories of passengers: from economy class to super VIP and business clients.

The gap between the location of the seats is:

• 45-60 inches or 115-145 cm for 1st grade;
• 90-100 cm or 35-40 inches for Business class;
• 85 cm or 33 inches for Economy class.

The most common combination is 3+3+3 for Economy class passengers. For tall and large passengers, this seating arrangement is not convenient during a long flight.

The size of the porthole, on which, by the way, there are no curtains, is 25 x 45 cm. This is the highest indicator of all standard liners. Glass is able to automatically adjust the absorption of light in the cabin. In addition, buttons have been developed for passengers that allow you to quickly change the transparency with a simple click. They left a curtain in the toilet.

There are no light bulbs in the cabin of a Boeing 787! Instead, LED lighting is used, the color and brightness of which can be adjusted.

The cabin has a new system for adjusting atmospheric pressure at 1.8 thousand m. For comparison, in earlier models, the pressure was maintained at the level of 2-2.5 thousand m. Now, thanks to innovations, harmful exhaust gases do not enter the cabin, and the humidity level in the cabin tends to 15%. Earlier in Boeing it was at around 4%.

Another distinguishing feature of the Boeing is the increased size of the toilets, which allows even people in wheelchairs to pass. On the upper shelves in the cabin, you can safely store 4 huge suitcases, and the Smoother Ride Technology flight system allows passengers to feel comfortable even after getting into an air pocket and a turbulence zone.

Sensors in the cockpit allow you to track the slightest changes in air pressure, and the flaperon system is automatically adjusted using the latest computer technology.

Salon scheme

When creating, the following factors were taken into account:

• spaciousness;
• comfortable light;
• big windows;
• wide shelves for luggage;
• displays for each passenger.

Production

Since 2016, the number of airliners produced per year has been increased to 168. This is 14 Boeing 787s per month. As of May 2018, 691 units have been produced.

Manufacturing facilities are located in Everett, USA. Moreover, for the most part, the assembly of finished parts takes place at the plant. 1.2 thousand people are involved in the process.

The company's contractors are based in different areas of the world. So, the wings are manufactured by Japanese Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, the doors are made by the French Latecoere, the tail is made by the Italian Alenia Aermacchi and the Korean Industries Aerospace, and the chassis is made by the joint British-French corporation Messier-Bugatti-Dowty.

Aircraft parts from the manufacturer to the customer are delivered on a specially created production liner Boeing 747 LCF DreamLifter, of which Boeing has 4.

Japanese engineers played a key role in the project: 35% of all components of the liner in 2017 were manufactured in Japan. In addition, it was the Japanese who took an active part in the design and development of the Dreamliner.

Aircraft modifications and their cost

The Boeing 787 today has 3 main modifications:

• Boeing 787-8 worth $224.6 million;

Boeing 787 Dreamliner - aircraft of the 21st century, which allows you to bring Passenger Transportation to a new level of development. The high level of comfort and safety that the developers of the Boeing 787 concept offer to their customers allows this model to be on a par with the Airbus the most popular and economical aircraft of its time.

Successful solutions and the ability to choose 1 out of 3 high-class liners of the Boeing 787 series, allows us to recognize that this aircraft has a colossal design potential. That is why there is a demand for the Dreamliner all over the world. These models are the future of air travel.

- a new generation long-haul wide-body aircraft built to replace the 767 model. It is noteworthy that for the first time in the history of aircraft construction, the design of the liner consists of 50% of lightweight composite materials.

Story

In the late 1990s, sales long haul liners and began to fall Boeing began considering a replacement program for these aircraft. The project accordingly involved the development of two new models: the 747X, a lengthened and more fuel-efficient version of the 747-400, as well as the futuristic Sonic Cruiser concept, which could reach speeds of up to Mach 0.98, while consuming no more than 767 fuel (for account of the shortened flight time). As a result, both projects were received cool by the airlines.

September 11, 2001, the unfortunate terrorist events in the United States, marked the beginning of the aviation crisis and the rise in oil prices. Demand for air travel dropped significantly, and airlines needed new, fuel-efficient aircraft. The Sonic Cruiser project did not fit into the new realities, and on February 20, 2002, Boeing officially announced its cancellation.

In January 2003, Boeing unveiled the 7E7 twin-engine aircraft project based on Sonic Cruiser technology. Also, the company announced that this liner will be the first in the new Yellowstone family.

Yellowstone

Yellowstone - Boeing's project to replace the entire lineup civil aircraft for high tech models. New technologies include: the use of composite materials in the construction of the airframe, the greater use of electrical systems instead of hydraulics, and more fuel-efficient turbojets.

The Yellowstone program is divided into three types:

• Boeing Y1 is a project to replace aircraft with a capacity of 100 to 200 passengers. Designed to replace the 737
• Boeing Y2 - a project to replace the long-haul 767 aircraft. To date, completed and implemented under the name Boeing 787
• Boeing Y3 - a project to replace the ultra-long-range 777 and 747 aircraft with a passenger capacity of 300 to 600 people

dreamliner

In July 2003, Boeing held a competition for best name for 787. About 500,000 people chose the Dreamliner.

On April 26, 2004, All Nippon Airways became the Dreamliner's launch customer with an order of 50 aircraft for delivery in late 2008.

The Boeing 787 is an innovative product because, for the first time in history, an aircraft was constructed from lightweight composite materials rather than aluminium. This solution can significantly reduce the weight of the aircraft, and therefore make it cost-effective. The company promised that the new airliner will consume 20% less fuel than the Boeing 767. Also, compared to it, the 787 will be 40% more efficient, thanks to modern engines and advanced aerodynamic solutions, coupled with modern systems.

cockpit

The aircraft is controlled by an electrical system (Fly-By-Wire). In general, the cockpit architecture is similar to the Boeing 777.

The Boeing 787 cockpit is equipped with multifunctional displays. The control system includes the so-called "electronic flight plan" - two screens (one for each pilot), which display taxiing, approach and terrain maps.

Also, by default, the cabin is equipped with transparent indicators in front of the windshield (Huds), which allow you to simultaneously see the instrument data and what is happening “outside the window”.

Using a broadband real-time radio link, the automatic diagnostic system sends data to the ground repair service. The system is able to independently predict the occurrence of certain problems in aircraft mechanisms, which promises to reduce the likelihood of delays and reduce the time spent on diagnostics and repairs.

Passenger compartment

The passenger compartment of the Boeing 787-8 is capable of accommodating 296 passengers (in a single-class configuration), 240 passengers (in a two-class configuration), 234 passengers (in a three-class configuration).

The cabin width is 5.5 meters, and is 38 centimeters wider than the Airbus A330 and A340. The windows in the Boeing 787 are larger than in any other passenger aircraft (27x 47 cm). Instead of the usual plastic curtains, the portholes are equipped with electrochromic dimming in smart glass.

One of amazing features Boeing 787 is interior lighting. Anyone who has ever flown across multiple time zones knows what it's like to sleep on a flight and be woken up by the flick of a switch that fills the cabin with fluorescent white light. LEDs in the cabin of the dreamliner allow the crew to adjust the intensity of the lighting according to the different phases of the flight.

The size of the toilets has increased. Now, by deploying a partition between them, it is possible to organize access for people in wheelchairs. The overhead racks are significantly more spacious, and each of them can accommodate four suitcases with wheels, which is significantly more than the Boeing 767.

The more resilient composite hull of the Dreamliner makes it possible to maintain pressure in the cabin at a level corresponding to an altitude of 1800 m, while in the cabin of a conventional aluminum passenger aircraft pressure corresponds to an altitude of 2400 m.

The Boeing 787 is equipped with an innovative Smooth Ride Technology that provides passenger comfort during turbulence. Boeing says this smooth-flying technology will reduce passenger sickness by a factor of eight. Special sensors are located throughout the aircraft area that detect changes in air pressure, and this is one of the signs of turbulence. Based on the readings from the sensors, the computer system adjusts the position of the flaperons in order to suppress the vertical oscillation of the aircraft.

The interior pressurization system is organized in a new way. Unlike others passenger aircraft, where air for supply to the cabin is taken from engines with a temperature of more than 600 degrees, passes through coolers and enters the cabin, in the Dreamliner air is supplied to the cabin by electric compressors directly from the external environment. This eliminates the problem of insufficient air humidity. The more humid air inside the Dreamliner provides the greatest comfort for passengers.

Modifications

Boeing 787-8 - basic modification. Length 57 meters, wingspan 60 meters, maximum flight range up to 15,200 km. The aircraft is designed to replace the 767-200ER and 767-300ER.

Boeing 787-9 is a modification with an extended fuselage and a capacity of 250 to 290 passengers in a three-class cabin configuration. Flight range from 14,800 to 15,750 km. Boeing expects to replace the 767-400ER with this model. Deliveries to airlines are due to begin in 2014.
