Overview
The 787-10 is a stretch of the 787-9, about 5.5 m longer and carrying roughly 15 per cent more passengers. Like the rest of the Dreamliner family it is built largely from carbon-fibre composites, giving larger windows, more humid air and a lower cabin altitude than older jets.
The extra length trades away some range, so airlines use it on busy medium- and long-haul routes rather than the very longest flights. Singapore Airlines put it into service in 2018.
