Boeing 787 Dreamliner test bed

When the first Boeing 787 Dreamliner will be unveiled on Sunday, July 8 at its official Premiere in Seattle, it will roll out with two next generation Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines - the leading powerplant for all versions of the 787. The Trent 1000's design has been focused on delivering world-best levels of fuel burn, noise and emissions. With its next generation technology and Trent pedigree, the Trent 1000 will deliver the lowest fuel burn economics over the life of the engine. Rig and engine testing have produced excellent results, and continuing introduction of new technology will ensure that the Trent 1000 delivers the lowest emissions for the 787, with significant margin to current and future legislation. With the largest fan on the 787, the Trent 1000 will also be the quietest. The Trent 1000 will also power the aircraft on its maiden flight later this year and will be the first to enter service with launch customer ANA (All Nippon Airways) in 2008.

Why did it show a B747 not the B787?

[yousef271981]

@derek1122339. No it is not the -800. Its the 747-200.

[concorde232]

the 787 engines are bigger than 747 engines and yet the 787 is smaller! how strange

@theneocuber01 Hey dummy, It's a 200. 400's have winglets and a longer hump.

One of these things is not like the other. . .

@1MRFATCAT it's a 747-400 but they equipped 2 787 turbines on and didn't use other ones... 2 787 turbines can lift that 747

[1MRFATCAT]

That's not a 787

[CalebFilmsPresent]

this is a 747-8i...

@XxXLtqiXxX o okay but does it add weight and make it unbalanced

@64MojoMan Being a maintenance controller for a fleet of 747's I can tell you that the other three engines were churning and burning. You DO have other aircraft systems that require the use of the engines: hydraulics, pneumatics, and electricity. Quit relying on an encyclopedia that is run by a bunch of fucking crackheads like those at Wikipedia. They are usually more wrong than right!
