The 7E7-8 Dreamliner and 7E7-9 airplanes will carry 217-257 passengers in
tri-class configurations on routes of 8,500 and 8,300 nautical miles ( 15,700 and 15,400 kilometers) respectively. A third 7E7 family member, the 7E7-3 Dreamliner, will accommodate nearly 289 passengers in a two-class configuration and be optimized for routes of 3,500 nautical miles (6,500 km). In addition to bringing big-jet ranges to mid-size airplanes, the 7E7 will provide airlines with unmatched fuel efficiency, resulting in exceptional environmental performance. The airplane will use 20 percent less fuel for comparable missions than any other wide-body airplane. It will also travel at speeds similar to today's fastest wide bodies, Mach 0.85. Airlines will enjoy 40- to 60-percent more cargo revenue capacity. Passengers will also see improvements with the new airplane, from an interior environment with higher humidity to increased comfort and convenience.
