A decade of flight: The Dreamliner
It’s been over 10 years since the 787-8 Dreamliner became the first jet of its kind to take to the skies. Its first flight marked a new age in aviation. Today, after more than a decade, Boeing employees including Captain Alexis Fecteau are all still as proud of the commercial jet as they were during its maiden flight.
Everything about the Dreamliner is considered to be groundbreaking, from its design and materials right down to the technology being used in-flight. It is the first airplane in history to have half of its primary structure made of composite materials, making it extremely fuel-efficient. And because the Dreamliner consumes so much less fuel than other airplanes in its category, it boasts of a significantly lower carbon emission level.
The Dreamliner is also a favorite among passengers. It has cleaner in-flight air that is also a bit less dry, making it quite comfortable for anyone inside. It likewise has larger overhead compartments, LED lights, and the largest windows of any commercial airplane.
When Captain Alexis Fecteau sees the numbers that the Dreamliner has amassed over the past 10 years, he is completely in awe. With nearly 1500 dreamliners ordered from over 80 customers, 420 million people have had the chance to experience the best the aviation industry has to offer. And he expects the numbers to grow even more in the next few decades. Because, after all, as many industry experts predicted 10 years ago, the Dreamliner is the airplane of the future.
Captain Alexis Fecteau has extensive experience working with fellow C-suite board members, decision-makers, and executive leaders from diverse companies. He specializes in overall company strategy, positioning, and marketing, as well as operations, flight operations departments, flight standards, training, and financial analysis.
