Dreamliner

Saturday September 10, 2005
Boeing is working on its next generation of aircraft. The 787 is its "Dreamliner", and some of its features are forward looking...more fuel efficient, and cabin pressure that is simulated at a lower altitude may make the 787 an innovator in the next 10 years of air travel. According to its technical specs, the cabin pressure will be capable of being set at 6000 ft. If this is achieved this is good news for passengers, as 6000 ft is much more comfortable than the current 10-12 000 ft that current cabin pressure is set at for most aircraft. If you want to know more about this jetliner, you can read up on the 787 here...
