Product Description

HISTORY ASPECTS:

Initially brought into service as the 787-8 in 2011 by Boeing as a more fuel-efficient, environmentally friendly successor to the aging Boeing 767, the innovative, twin-engine, wide-body Boeing 787 Dreamliner is offered in different versions that can be configured to typically seat from 210 to 330 passengers and is recognized by its prominently curved aerodynamic wings with raked back wingtips and chevrons on its engine nacelles. Technologically advanced with onboard state-of-the-art avionics, electronics systems and an airframe that primarily comprises lightweight composite materials, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner can fly ultra-long-haul, direct point-to-point routes up to 8,500 nautical miles and offers improved cabin oxygen levels, larger windows, a quieter cabin and a very spacious interior design for maximum flying pleasure.
The Boeing 787-9, which went into service in 2014, is a lengthened version of the Boeing 787-8 with a higher maximum takeoff weight and can fly 280 passengers approximately 7,600 nautical miles.
This Lufthansa Boeing 787-9 sports the airline’s updated livery with a white fuselage with midnight blue lettering highlighted by a midnight blue tail emblazoned with the airline’s iconic logo – designed by a German artist, Otto Firle – the silhouette of a white circle surrounding the profile of an elegant white flying crane.
The Lufthansa Boeing 787-9, registered as D-ABPA, stands as a symbol of the airline’s commitment to modernizing its fleet with cutting-edge technology and passenger comfort. Introduced into service in 2016, this long-haul twin-engine jetliner has been a game-changer for Lufthansa and its passengers. Its spacious and well-appointed cabin, coupled with state-of-the-art amenities, has redefined the long-haul travel experience.
One of the most notable features of the D-ABPA 787-9 is its ability to operate with flaps down during certain phases of flight, enhancing its aerodynamic performance and fuel efficiency. This innovative design not only reduces drag but also minimizes the environmental footprint, aligning with Lufthansa’s commitment to sustainability.
