The next-generation Dreamliner can detect turbulence—and hopefully deliver a smoother ride.
Qantas's Boeing 787-9 may have just made history with its record-setting, 17-hour Perth-to-London flight on Sunday, but there's a new headline maker about to take flight: The Boeing 787-10, the third and latest airplane in the Dreamliner series, was delivered to Singapore Airlines on Sunday, making it the first airline to receive the world's most advanced jet.
"It is an honor for us to be the world's first airline to take delivery of this amazing aircraft," said Goh Choon Phong, chief executive officer of Singapore Airlines at the delivery ceremony in Charleston, South Carolina on Sunday. "The 787-10 is a magnificent piece of engineering and truly a work of art. It will be an important element in our overall growth strategy, enabling us to expand our network and strengthen our operations."
With the addition of the 787-10 to its fleet, Singapore Airlines becomes the first group to fly all three Dreamliners, as its low-cost subsidiary, Scoot, flies the 787-8 and 787-9.
