Boeing 787-10

78J B78X In Production

Largest of the 787 Dreamliner variants, the Boeing 787-10 stretches the family for high-density medium- and long-haul flying. It seats about 330 passengers in two classes and up to 440 single-class, with two GEnx-1B76A turbofans giving a range near 11,910 km at 903 km/h. First flown in 2017, the -10 is 68.3 metres long with a 60.1-metre composite wing and a maximum takeoff weight near 254,000 kg. Trading some range for capacity relative to the 787-9, it competes with the Airbus A330-900neo and offers markedly better fuel efficiency than the older wide-bodies it is intended to replace on busy regional and long-haul trunk routes.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Boeing 787-10 typically seats 330 passengers in a two-class configuration. In a three-class layout with business, premium economy, and economy, it carries around 290 passengers. At 68.3 m long, it is the longest member of the 787 Dreamliner family, stretching 5.5 m beyond the 787-9.

The Boeing 787-10 has a maximum range of approximately 11,910 km (6,430 nautical miles). While shorter-ranged than the 787-9 (14,140 km) due to its heavier weight without additional fuel capacity, this still covers routes like Singapore to London or New York to Tel Aviv. The aircraft uses either GE GEnx-1B or Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines, shared with the rest of the 787 family.

The 787-10 and A350-900 compete directly in the high-capacity long-haul segment. The A350-900 offers significantly greater range at 15,000 km versus 11,910 km, making it more versatile for ultra-long-haul routes. However, the 787-10 seats more passengers per meter of fuselage length, giving it a cost advantage on high-demand routes within its range. The A350-900 has a wider cabin at 5.61 m versus the 787-10's 5.49 m.

The 787-10 shares the 787 family's distinctive features including raked wingtips, serrated engine nacelles (chevrons), and the smooth curved nose. It is distinguished from the 787-8 and 787-9 by its significantly longer fuselage with more window rows. The electrically dimmable windows and lack of window shades are visible from the exterior. The 787-10 can only be produced at Boeing's North Charleston, South Carolina facility due to its length.

Singapore Airlines was the launch customer, receiving its first 787-10 in 2018. United Airlines operates the largest 787-10 fleet in the Americas. Other significant operators include All Nippon Airways, Etihad Airways, and Korean Air. The 787-10 is particularly popular on high-density routes within Asia-Pacific and on transatlantic services where its range is sufficient. Over 170 units have been ordered.
