The new Boeing 787 is the first all new jetliner built by the company in many years. As with any new product there have been great leaps in technology. I will discuss these advances, potential costumers, sales, competition and much more.
There are three planed variants currently under development, the 787-3, 787-8 and the 787-9. Each has different range, size and passenger capability. The 787-3 will carry 290-330 passengers approximately 2500-3000 NMI (nautical miles), the 787-8 is set to carry 224 with a maximum of 375 approximately 7600-8200 NMI and lastly the 787-9 will carry 250-290 passengers approximately 8000-8500 NMI. With these various passenger and distance ranges the 787 is likely to replace the Boeing 767 and to some degree the Boeing 757. As far as competitors, the Airbus A350 series is the most likely one. A talked about 787-10 would likely be a larger aircraft and would compete with the Airbus A330 and A340 aircraft.
The market for this aircraft is very large and diversified. The three different variants will serve on a range of routes. The 787-3 is likely to fly on regional routes such as New York to Denver and Asian routes that would be flown with higher density seating capacity. The big advantage to this model aircraft is the lighter MTOW (Maximum Take Off Weight). Airports charge landing fees based on MTOW and the lighter aircraft means less money to operate. The other two variants the 787-8 and -9 models have higher MTOW but also have much longer range. The -8 model can go from New York to Paris and the -9 model would likely be on routes even longer like Moscow to São Paulo. With all these models the 787 will capture a large part of both the domestic and international markets in the United States as w...

...er 2010 is not the original date of delivery there have been a lot of delays in the development of this all new aircraft.
The delivery was originally scheduled for late 2008 to ANA. However a series of delays have caused this time frame to be put off with the deliveries to occur in late 2010 now. These delays included problems with the wing fuselage joint as well as large problems with their supply chain. This issue prompted Boeing to buy several suppliers to help solve these problems.
I feel the 787 is going to change the world of air travel. As an airline pilot, I feel the improvements over older aircraft are significant. The 787 looks and sounds like an aircraft I hope to fly some day and would love to ride on at the very least. This is going to be a game changer for all the manufactures. I can’t wait to see what Airbus has to combat the wonderful 787.
T’was the eve of Tuesday, January 28, 2014, where at 8pm, I attended the performance, Boeing, Boeing at the Venice Theater Main stage with my younger sister. After reading a quick preview of this play, I decided to see this as one of my required three because I was very intrigued in twisted love stories such as this one.
It's expected that in the first few years, Boeing will incur more expenses than income. Revenues will come at a later date when the 7E7 planes are delivered. The project will have to be evaluated periodically and management will have to make changes to ensure that the company is profitable based on current and future conditions. The board's prerogative is not to give Airbus a profit sanctuary' by not accepting the project, but rather to maintain or increase its market in the industry even if it's not profitable in the short-run. Boeing has deep pockets and should be willing to challenge its competitors.
Right now these are just small threats to Boeing. But as things advance, there is no telling what the new market trends will be and what new directions a company like Boeing must take. It is important to continually perform SWOT analysis and stay nimble. Overall, the Boeing Company has stayed strong in the aircraft field and with record profits for the past two years it looks like they are achieving their goals. Boeing has had to change their business direction over the past 100 years in order to stay on top of the aircraft industry.
As airline industry is a competitive marketplace, the airline companies use new technologies to improve their efficiency and decrease the overhead costs, including ‘advanced aircraft engine technology, IT solutions, and mobile technology’ (Cederholm 2014). The technology changes including technology improvement, new innovation and disruptive technology. The disruptive technology need to meet the characteristics of ‘simplicity, convenience, accessibility and affordability’ (Christensen 1995). The technology changes would bring both opportunities and threats to airline companies. Since Labour cost and fuel costs occupy 50% of most airlines operating cost (Groot 2014). Therefore, if new technologies could be disruptive in the two aspects, there will be important changes to current airline
The Boeing Corporation is one of the largest manufacturers in the world. Rivaled only by European giant Airbus in the aerospace industry, Boeing is a leader in research, design and manufacture of commercial jet airliners, for commercial, industrial and military customers. Despite enjoying immense success in its market and dominating an industry that solely recognizes engineering excellence, it is crucial for Boeing to ensure continued growth through consistent strategy formulation and execution to avoid falling behind in market share to close and coming rivals.
The future of the aerospace industry will involve gradual changes in the near term, with the prospect of more radical shifts in the decades t...
The Boeing 737 is one of the most popular aircraft ever produced. Over 7700 in all variants have been produced, with an additional 11,275 aircraft on order. This makes the 737 the most popular jetliner to date. The 737 has a wide variety of uses, and still remains extremely popular and under high demand. Because it is such a widely mass produced aircraft, it is also a target for constant aerodynamic improvements. Boeing has looked at everything from the design of the anti-collision lights, to the reduction of small gaps in the airfoil. This has created an aircraft that is extremely aerodynamic and efficient at any task it performs.
The new entry is likely from rich Gulf nations, China, and India of low budget planes around the globe. The airlines from the Gulf nations have placed orders with Airbus and Boeing that are valued in the billions. The deliveries are expected in the next decade. The demand will grow in the production of advanced narrow-body airplanes, such as Airbus, A321 and Boeing, B737 Max. The growth that is expected in the next decade, more consumers will be flying to their destinations. The airlines in the United States are expected to have a profit margin over the next decade. Resulting, from economic growth, and the demand for aircraft service. Buyers are expected to have a lot of power in the next decade, resulting in bargain prices for buyers. The competition will increase with intense rivalry in the aviation industry. The contracts for the aircrafts are totally from airplane
Technology Innovation: - Boeing should carefully analyze the market to evaluate the trends in the airline industry and aggressively invest in a new product line (top dog strategy) that could counter Airbus’s A380.
Let’s start with why have the flight delays increased so much since 1978.It all seemed like a
Airlines are still a very important part of our world's economy. In fact, the world would not function without them. People from every country use airplanes. An airline company has to be able to handle different cultures, ethnic groups, and financial groups. They also need to be able to handle the growth of passengers for the coming years. Mike Beirne says that U.S. Department of Transportation statistics suggest that international passenger traffic may actually increase. (Brandweek 1999) When you look at all of these factors, you can see that the coming years are going to be a role coaster for the airline industry. The airlines company that suite the majority of these people will get the bulk of the business. Because of this there are going to be many changes in the airline industry. The airline business is going to have a marketing frenzy. We can expect every company to make changes to their current planes. The reason that they are going to make changes is that they will want more of the business. If a company does not change, they will be left behind and eventually be put out of business. In this paper, I will show you different marketing techniques that will win over travelers.
Boeing 787 Dreamliner was first announced to the public in January 2003 with approximated costs of five billion dollars , since the sales of the aircraft were high it was supposed to enter commercial service during 2008 but the building up of aircraft seemed more anticipated than expected , since the management decided to use composite materials as an alternative for traditional metals as composite materials are lighter , stronger , cheaper and also resistance to wild variety of chemical agents including acid rain and salt spray as these are the conditions under which metals suffer , Boeing also shared their views in development of air craft with suppliers which effected in a project significantly more anticipated than expected . More than three years later after the project exceeded the estimated budget at last 787 entered commercial service in September 2011.
The future of passenger aircraft and their manufactures has an amazing outlook. Every year the brightest minds in aviation compile the greatest technological advances towards creating the safest and most economical aircraft on the planet. No detail is over looked, and the bottom dollar is the all controlling factor. From private aircraft to public aircraft, space exploration and beyond, the future is bright for the passenger aircraft market, and everyone who purchases air travel should be excited to see how industry unfolds.
advantage that we can see is the great aspects of designers and manufacturing experience which can in the great job classification. This fabulous creation is seen in the design of the engine, as well as materials used to prepare the aircraft that can travel at the speed of a supersonic. there has never been another creation of a supersonic aircraft to carry passengers to a destination for a supersonic aircraft are just used to carry bombs and fighter jets.
In 1990 Boeing was set to introduce the 777, the world’s largest and longest haul twin-bodied jet at the time. The 777 would serve the medium and long haul markets like the expanding Asian market. Boeing’s main competitors, Airbus Industries and McDonnell Douglas, had already announced plans to produce airliners that would compete directly with the 777. Analysts believed that the intense competition between the manufacturers would serve to depress prices for the airliners. Lower prices for aircraft would mean lower earnings.
