787 Dreamliner

Overview

Wide-body long-haul twin-engine aircraft family built around composite structures, lower fuel burn, and route-opening flexibility for airlines.

In active production at Boeing's Everett and North Charleston facilities. Three variants: 787-8, 787-9 (most popular), and 787-10. August 2026 handovers fell to four 787s (from nine a year earlier), bringing 2026 787 deliveries to 54 through August. A Boeing spokesperson said the drop was not due to production, supply-chain, or certification problems and that the company still expects 90 to 100 787 deliveries in 2026.
