Boeing completes Dreamliner family with first 787-10 delivery

Boeing completes Dreamliner family with first 787-10 delivery : According to Reuter Boeing Co (BA.N) delivered its first 787-10 Dreamliner to Singapore Airlines (SIAL.SI) on Sunday, rounding out a family of lightweight jets on which the U.S. planemaker is betting its future.

The 787-10’s range is 6,430 nautical miles (11,910 kilometers). At 223 feet long (68 meters), the aircraft is 18 feet (5.5 meters) longer than the 787-9 and seats around 330 passengers, 40 more than the 787-9 and 88 more than the 787-8.

Europe’s Airbus (AIR.PA) competes against the 787-10 with its A330neo, an upgraded version of its most-sold wide-body aircraft with fuel-efficient engines and a new cabin. Both jets are designed for shorter flights compared with other mid-size wide-body planes, tapping into the rapid growth of trade within Asia as well as across other regions. But after brisk initial sales, orders for both models have slowed, with Airbus selling 214 of its A330neo.

The 787-10 has 171 orders, about 13 percent of the total of firm orders for the 787. The mid-sized 787-9 is the most popular variant and competes mainly with Airbus’s new-generation carbon-composite A350. The 787 and A330neo are locked in a fierce battle for sales and profits in the market for jets with around 300 seats.
