About Boeing 787-9

가장 많이 팔린 드림라이너 변형으로, -8 대비 6미터 연장되었습니다. 에어뉴질랜드가 787-9를 사용해 오클랜드-도하(14,529km) 세계 최장 비행을 운항했습니다.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Boeing 787-9 typically seats 290 passengers in a standard two-class configuration. In a three-class layout with first, business, and economy, it carries around 246 passengers. The cabin features wider seats (up to 46 cm in economy), larger windows that are 65% bigger than those on comparable aircraft, and an electronically dimmable window system instead of traditional shades.

The Boeing 787-9 has a maximum range of approximately 14,140 km (7,635 nautical miles), allowing it to operate ultra-long-haul routes such as Los Angeles to Melbourne, London to Buenos Aires, or Tokyo to Seattle. This range makes it one of the most versatile twin-engine wide-body aircraft in service, enabling airlines to open new point-to-point routes that bypass traditional hub airports.

The Boeing 787-9 is available with two engine options: the General Electric GEnx-1B and the Rolls-Royce Trent 1000. Both engines produce approximately 320 kN of thrust and deliver about 20% better fuel efficiency than engines on previous-generation aircraft like the 767. The 787-9 was the first commercial aircraft to use composite materials for over 50% of its airframe, further improving fuel economy.

The Boeing 787-9 is the most popular variant of the Dreamliner family, with over 900 orders. Major operators include All Nippon Airways (ANA), United Airlines, Etihad Airways, Vietnam Airlines, and Qantas. ANA was the launch customer for the 787 program, and the -9 variant has become the backbone of many airlines' long-haul fleets due to its optimal balance of range and passenger capacity.

The Boeing 787-9 and Airbus A350-900 are direct competitors in the mid-size wide-body segment. The A350-900 has a slightly longer range at 15,000 km versus 14,140 km and carries more passengers (300-350 vs 246-290 in typical layouts). The 787-9 has a marginally wider cabin cross-section at seat level. Both aircraft use over 50% composite materials and offer similar cabin humidity and pressurization benefits at a lower effective altitude of 1,830 m.
