@kdraper2007 Using carbon composite material wasn't something new in aviation and using them would be higher risk. The problem is, neither Boeing or Airbus fully understand the characteristics of carbon composite and still hasn't develop a reliable method to detect stress and tear on new planes. If something abnormalities happen on carbon composite fuselage, production would halt and a severe damage to company PR. That's all.

I REPEAT THE BOEING 787 DREAMLINER IS GOING DOWN!

Passenger: "Okay kids, get your parachutes on were skydiving!"

@sanfran91 not many considering that it's an entirely new aircraft using entirely new construction materials & techniques. Boeing is inventing an entirely new type of commercial aircraft, which if successful will revolutionize Commercial air transport.

Why cant they just make first class seats for eveyone and still have alot of space on the plane

[knowwaie]

And the seats are still painfully uncomfortable.

I knew a guy who was in the test team of this plane, he boasted one day, "mate, guess what, I am probably the first person to masturbate in 787", I calmly replied ' you are moron....boeing people are wise people who test every thing possible, they have already tested and simulted that to make the aircraft as safe as possible, this test was officially performed by Chuck Norris on behalf of Boeing in area 86 boeing development facility.

i do not work for boeing i know some one who work for Airbuss, and they will not be in compitition with them they will hopefully be very sucessfull in their product right now and its a fab air craft both techniqually and well designed - of course Airbuss also has the new latest aircraft in which iam not allowed to state at this time but its too will resemble on how economy seating will change dramatically once they launch the new airbuss aircraft ! so exciting

[liam8734]

its so untrue - dreamlines is much better for companies to make a profit what you saying man!!!! flying an a380 with 500 people on a 8 hour flight just when an a380 can fly for 23 hours around the world taking more than a thousand passengers - no company would do that its crazy your wrong - the dreamliner is in a different market to the a380 all togeather the only compitiotion is boeing vs airbuss yes i will agree but not these persific air line modules
