Boeing launches the 787-10

[JF Mezei]

It wasn't a question of IF but rather WHEN... and WHEN was today..

Boeing Launches the 787-10 Dreamliner
http://boeing.mediaroom.com/index.php?s=43&item=2711

Seats 300-330 passengers, range 7000nm.
First fligt 2017, first delivery 2018

No mention of engines. Anyone know if it will be just uprated versions
of same 787-8 engines ? Or even just the exact same engines ?

As part of the launch, a number of the announced orders are actually
conversions from 787-9 to 787-10. But Boeing says it has 102 orders for
it already (not bad for a launch day).

In terms of 777 vs 787-10, any thoughts on whether the 787-10 will
cannabalise many 777 sales ? Or does the 777 offer additional capacity
that the 787-10 can't provide (I am thinking also in terms of cargo
since 777 is wider).

In related news, Korean ordered 5 747-8 pax planes. So I guess this year
the 747 is doing much better than the 380.

will be interesting so see the evolution of net sales for the 787 family.
( apropos: see http://www.pdxlight.com/787.htm for a good accounting base )

There is the A350-900 and A350-1000 sandwiched in between to effect that.
The -10 nibbles on A330-300 territory.
