The Farnborough Airshow going on this week in the United Kingdom is one of the largest trade exhibitions for aircraft manufacturers around the world.
Boeing is flaunting its new 787-9 aircraft, which is a bigger version of the Dreamliner that the company has made to rival the European built Airbus.
To wow the airline buyers, Boeing has released a video of the test flight before the airshow, that features the 787-9 aircraft doing stunts, and extreme maneuvers.
The 787-9 also reportedly has a variety of design advantages including larger windows, LED lighting, a lower cabin altitude, less engine noise from inside the cabin, and larger overhead storage room.
It can carry up to 280 passengers over eight thousand nautical miles, using twenty percent less fuel than aircrafts of similar size.
According to Boeing‘s website: “The 787 is designed to be more environmentally progressive throughout the product life cycle. The airplane is manufactured using fewer hazardous materials, consumes less fuel and produces fewer emissions. And at the end of the airplane's service life, the materials used for the 787 are recyclable.”
