Boeing 787 Dreamliner

The **Boeing 787 Dreamliner** is a wide-body jet airliner manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes, an aircraft manufacturing company from Earth. After dropping its Sonic Cruiser project, Boeing announced the conventional **7E7** on January 29, 2003, focused on efficiency.

## Description

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is a long-haul, widebody, twin-engine jetliner, which features light-weight construction. The aircraft is 80% composite by volume; Boeing lists its materials by weight as 50% composite, 20% aluminum, 15% titanium, 10% steel, and 5% other.  Aluminum has been used throughout the wing and tail leading edges, titanium is predominantly present within the elements of the engines and fasteners, while various individual components are composed of steel.

External features include a smooth nose contour, raked wingtips and engine nacelles with noise-reducing serrated edges (chevrons).

## Chronology

### First Contact

When Japan was transferred to the New World, the airline operators from Earth stopped their operations for about six months. After 6 months, operations are resumed and start serving flights to Qua-Toyne Principality and Quila Kingdom.

### Mu Observation Mission to Japan

When the Mu diplomatic corps led by Myrus visited Japan, they've landed on Fukuoka International Airport and they've saw the numerous, giant, beautiful machines parked in a line at the airport. He said to himself that the passenger aircraft they were riding, the La Chaos Passenger Aircraft, the apex of the superpower Mu’s technology, was just looked like a toy.

### Milishial Diplomatic Mission to Japan

When the diplomats from the Holy Milishial Empire conducted their visit to Japan, their passenger aircraft, the Floating Ship of the Heavens Type 35 landed also in the Fukuoka International Airport which have an entirely too large runway, then was guided to the passenger plane area on the parking apron. The diplomat Phiam felt his pride shatter to pieces and a sense of humiliation rising up in response to the sight before him. The Holy Mirishial Empire was the strongest country in the Central World, widely believed to be the strongest in the world, and the culmination of their advanced civilization was the *Floating Ship of the Heavens*. The beautiful vehicle showed off the quality and refinement of their technology. No matter where he traveled, being able to clearly see the difference in civilization, in national power, made him proud beyond compare. He is now being made to feel so wretched and miserable as their plane parked between a Boeing 777 and a Boeing 787, which compared to the empire’s plane, the jet liners from Earth are very large and more refined.

### Cryseilian Research Mission to Japan

The said plane was used to bring the research team from the Cryseilis Holy Kingdom. From Silkark Kingdom, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Japan) used the Kawasaki CH-47J Chinook. Soon, the helicopter arrived at Quila Kingdom's international airport. Asada said to the team that they will transfer to a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, chartered by the Japanese government, and from Quila, they will head to Japan and will arrive 2.5-3 hours later. Abaddon's first impression upon seeing the B-787 is weaponless and can be easily shot down. Upon feeling the B-787 for the first time, their expressions were shocked and surprised once they felt the strong acceleration and the clouds that aligned itself with the aircraft once reach the cruising altitude (38,000 feet) with the speed of around 900 kph. Asada already included in the tour itinerary the visit to a JSDF Air Base. Ciedron said to himself that if Japan's civilian aircraft was fast, then Japan's military aircrafts could be better and faster.

## Trivia

* While the Boeing 787 was reportedly a leading candidate to replace the 747s at one point due to its fuel efficiency and its large proportion of Japanese components, and the Airbus A350 was also raised as a candidate by some officials, the real life Ministry of Defense favored the 777 due to its capabilities being closer to those of the 747.
