944 Words4 Pages

I have always fantasized about piloting a commercial aircraft or any kind of aircraft since I was a young child. I would look up to the encyclopedias in my family library and search up the various types of aircraft and stare at the design as well as read about their purpose and performance. I would look to see the various commercial aircraft that the world has ever designed and created, particularly the planes made by Boeing. To date, I have rode in several Boeing aircraft such as the 747, 757, and 777, but there is one plane to which I have never been inside: the 787 Dreamliner aircraft. The 787 Dreamliner aircraft is the latest aircraft designed and manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes and is currently used by well-known airlines …show more content…

The wingspan, or the width of the aircraft measured from one tip of the wing to another, is measured at 197 feet and 3 inches long while its horizontal length is measured at 224 feet long. It can seat at least 242 people with a top speed of 575 miles per hour. The cruising speed of the aircraft, or the speed which is set standard during the flight, is 903 kilometers per hour which is in the above average range of all measured cruising speed of commercial aircraft (Stramba, 2003). The specifications give the 787 a reputation of being one of the best aircraft in the market, thus airline companies would love to have this new aircraft under their …show more content…

Along with the electrical engineer, the mechanical engineer ensures that the engines meet the high standards that Boeing set forth in the creation of the 787. The result of the assurance of high standards has led the 787 being the most fuel efficient aircraft. It is reported to be “20% more fuel efficient than any other commercial aircraft”, as claimed by Boeing (Boykoff, 2011). The engineer also takes charge in the maintenance of the aircraft so that it can be used in the commercial airline industry for decades of

6.5. Missing wings hole at the Pentagon The hole left in the pentagon can be easily explained with simple science. One of the plane’s wing detached as the plane was flying on ground level, the other broke up into small pieces as the plane crashed. While the idea of having a perfectly shaped outline of the plane into the building is very appealing, it is simply impossible. As a plane impacts into a hard concrete building, it starts to break apart and losing its wings is not uncommon.
