Eye at the Sky: LAN Airlines’ new 787 Dreamliner
For aviation and travel geeks alike, one of the biggest travel stories over the past year
has been the roll out of Boeing’s new 787 Dreamliner aircraft.
The plane has been celebrated for its environmental advancements and innovative design. Boeing says that the 787 uses up to 20% less CO2 than similar aircraft, and has a 40% smaller noise footprint at takeoff. Half of the structure is made from carbon fiber composite material, which is more resistant to fatigue and corrosion (which means the planes will last longer).
