 Introduction

This brochure provides airport compatibility data for the 787

Models. This information is intended solely for airport
planning purposes. All information in this brochure is
preliminary and may change during development and
testing.
The 787-8 is a medium-sized, twin-engine aircraft. The 787-3
is a reduced range derivative of the 787-8 with wingtips and
a smaller wingspan, and the 787-9 is a stretched-body
derivative of the 787-8 with a larger wingspan.
The 787-8 is the base model of a family of airplanes and is
scheduled to enter into service in mid- 2008. The 787-3 and
787-9 are scheduled to enter into service late 2010.
