Boeing's composite marvel. Higher cabin pressure, bigger windows, better humidity — the Dreamliner was designed to make you feel less terrible after a 14-hour flight. It mostly works.
Fun fact
The 787 is 80% composite by volume. Its fuselage is made from one piece of carbon fiber, not riveted aluminum panels.
How to spot one
