Boeing unveils Dreamliner 787
Boeing has just unveiled their new flagship plane, the 787. The monster plane has interiors designed by Seattle's Teague, and they went and loaded the plane up with accoutrements such as opaque skylights and LEDs galore. They even went ahead and made the cockpit a more stylish and comfortable place for the pilots, so they aren't left out of the fun and stuck with yet another utilitarian space to be stuck in.
Unfortunately, you won't be flying coast-to-coast on a 787 anytime soon. The model shown off was the first of its kind, and its interior wasn't even completed yet. Hopefully, however, airlines will start snapping these bad boys up and sticking them on runways in the next year or so. The skies are about to get a little bit friendlier.
A few more pics after the jump.

I personally cant wait until she's in the sky....with an airliner industry doing overall pretty poor, hopefully this will get people back into the skies. by making it cheaper for the airline companies, it will be cheaper tickets for us, and more comfortable as well (something that was vastly needed).

I hope this new plane will be successful for Boeing. I am tired of seeing ticker scrawls announcing big contracts for Airbus ...

the new boeing dreamliner is UNBELIEVABLE!!! it looks AWESOME and now no one should be scared to fly if they on that plane because the inside of the plane does not even look like a plane! it doesnt look that big on the outside and then when u step inside it is like a mansion. the ceiling is even higher and the lights and everything! its the best plane out there and will be for a LONG time!

Wow.... Kinda looks like the ultimate in LUXUARY, but in the chincy way. A beautiful combination of CADDILAC versus PONTIAC lol. Nicely done... Boeing keep up the good work.
