Inside The $250 Million Boeing 787-8 Plane

This is the Boeing 787-8, the most fuel-efficient aircraft in the Dreamliner series. The development began in the early 2000s, with Boeing announcing the program in January 2003. The aircraft was envisioned to replace older models like the 767 and to offer a new level of efficiency using advanced materials and technology. Boeing's ambitious goal was to create an aircraft that was 20% more fuel efficient than similar-sized models, which was primarily to be achieved through the use of composite materials that would make the aircraft lighter and more durable.
The 787-8 introduced several innovative features that were groundbreaking at the time. It was the first major airliner to use a high proportion of composite materials, and it also featured electrical systems that replaced pneumatic systems, leading to better fuel efficiency and reduced maintenance needs.
Upon its entry into commercial service, the 787-8 quickly became popular with airlines for its fuel efficiency and range capabilities, which allowed for the opening of new long-haul routes that were not previously economically viable. However, the early operational history of the Dreamliner was marred by several high-profile incidents relating to its lithium-ion battery system, which led to a worldwide grounding of the fleet in January 2013. This grounding lasted until April 2013, when Boeing introduced a redesigned battery system that adequately addressed the issue.
The base purchase price for a new Boeing 787-8 is $240 million before options.
