New Baby Born Named 787

Finally the Boeing 787 is born and now ready to hit the market and specifically Japan’s market. But before we dive into more details about the Dreamliner 787, we ought to look back to the history of Boeing Company and understand ABOUT the company's beginnings. Founded in 1916 by William E. Boeing in Seattle, Washington, Boeing has expanded over the years, merging with McDonnell Douglas in 1997. Boeing is the largest U.S. Company in the aerospace business not only producing civilian planes but military airplanes as well. It is also designs and manufactures rotor craft, electronic and defense systems, missiles, satellites, launch vehicles and advanced information and communication systems. As a major service provider to NASA, Boeing operates the Space Shuttle and International Space Station. Boeing tracks the development of the companies that merged to become a single enterprise as the twentieth century ended. It introduced many products to the market. In 1933 their first product was the B-247 and in 1938 another aircraft came to the market known as B-314 built in contract with PAN AM. Boeing also made plenty of military aircrafts such as B-17, B-29, C-97, KC-97 and B-377. These aircrafts were made during WWII. During the 1950's after WWII it continued making military aircrafts such as B-47, B-52 and KC-135 which all had shared one new thing in common that was the Jet engine. On the civilian world The B-707 was introduced to the market. In 1960 the B-727 was born and not long after six years the B-747 came out to the market in 1966. A year later, B-747 extended a Short-Medium size product B-737 to the market and to companies that desired it which is still being developed and produced. During the 1980's the Boeing was being challenged hardly by a European newcomer which is Airbus; therefore, they had to come with new models like B-757 single-aisle and B-767 double-aisle as answers to their competitors A-320, A-330 respectively. Boeing decided to compete with Airbus and launched B-777, but Airbus answered back with A-350 during the 1990's. Then, Airbus came with another answer  to B-747 which is doubled-deck A-380 that costs $375.3 million per unit, produced in 2004, can carry from525-555-853 passengers, The design range for the −800 model is 15,400 km (8,300 nmi), would carry 150 tones of cargo 10,400 km (5,600 nmi), and delay of 13 months from time projection.


But Boeing answered back with birth of B-787 Dreamliner to the A-330, A-340, and A-350. The 787 has been delayed three years from its projection day to launch and costing $185-215 million  per unit. the 787-8 Dreamliner will carry 210 - 250 passengers on routes of 7,650 to 8,200 nautical miles (14,200 to 15,200 kilometers), while the 787-9-10 Dreamliner will carry 250-290 and 310 passengers on routes of 8,000 to 8,500 nautical miles (14,800 to 15,750 kilometers), with cost program of 32 billion which put the company in large debt and deficit comparing to its competitor. The 787 is faster and lighter with fuel efficiency, and environmentally friendly, but more modest in passenger carrying capacity.


The Dreamliner is definitely a boost to the us economy that creates more jobs not only for pilots but also for assembly line workers, mechanics, airline workers, flight attendants, engineers, and the list goes on. Despite the innovation that Boeing has added through the decades, the company is struggling keep up with Airbus innovations and advanced technology because of the economic struggle that the country is going through and because of the heavy burden entitlement programs that unions put on the company. If the company desires to go back being the leading competitor in the industry, it needs to cut its losses and eliminate the heavy burden of the unions to exceed the expectations. Airbus has already announced that soon they will be adding new seat-self adjustment feature that automatically adjusts to human’s body structure by 2050 according to Airbus engineers.


To sum up, Boeing company will be the only decider in the aviation industry to go back to growth and innovation by unleashing the American ingenuity, welcoming new ideas, cutting its loses, and hiring people that put the company's interests ahead of their European competitors. Its impact on job creation and economy is the top priority to proof that the company is the leader in the world of aviation technology.
