Totally Awesome Boeing 787 Dreamliner

Boeing's got a new plane out and it is radically different from any other commercial airline on the market.

The 787 Dreamliner has too many new and interesting features to describe in a little blog post, but, in short, the most striking thing about the new plane is the aesthetic design of the passenger cabin.

We're talking about an absolutely unheard-of amount of room for passengers and a decoration and style design so different from its contemporaries that it doesn't even look like real.

The Dreamliner has been picked up by a number of foreign airlines, but doesn't seem to have attracted many US buyers yet. This probably has something to do with the fact that the plane seems to really be meant for transcontinental use, boasting something like a 20% increase in fuel efficiency.

Even if it doesn't hit the domestic market anytime soon, it will certainly change the direction of future aircraft design.

Anyway, check out the Flight Deck design over at GizMag and the rest of the plane over at Boeing.
