Why there are two little planes following the 787? Is a test flight?

The 787 is designed to replace the 757 and 767 which are both two-engine. Two-engine planes are not as heavy as four-engine planes, thus more fuel efficient and less costly from a maintenance standpoint (only need to repair two engines).

The 787 is not designed to compete with the A-380. The 380 is designed to fly from hub-to-hub. The 787 is designed to fly from point-to-point. And since it is smaller than the 380, the 787 can fly into more airports.

such big plane, only 2 engines? how come?

[WillStriveHarder]

yeah. that amazes me, because, A380 got 4 engines....

[valcan321]

@WillStriveHarder Part of it is that so much of the plane is composite.

This plane is a huge step forward technologicaly.

[ladiesman940]

@WillStriveHarder They try to make it with little power as possible... because they r stupid. who needs power? its only the most important part of the plane. And besides with all this modern technology they should make planes traveling mach 3. Get me to britain in 2 hours. Do u kno how uncomfortable it is to be in a plane for 7+ hours to cross one simple ocean ?

[zane551]

@jihadforsatan cause they don't need 4.

[jihadforsatan]

@zane551 yeah only later i realised that this plane isnt a huge one :p. thanks!

Who built the engines?

Plane wings look more an more like birdwings....

[a8127]

Rolls Royce Trents on this one but it can also be ordered with General Electic engines

[SteffanLlwyd]

I'm pleased to hear that. I had a great day being shown round the RR Derby plant and seeing Trents being built, plus smaller engines for fast jets. Their levels of expertise were awsome. They showed me some amazing composite materials too and said that they'd been a bit surprised as to which of them were found to work best. Cheers....
