Field marks

  1. Longest body in the 787 family — the most stretched-looking of the three variants
  2. Same saw-tooth engine-pod edge, four-pane cockpit, and swept-to-a-point wingtip tells as the rest of the line
  3. Tail sits notably farther behind the wing than on the -8
  4. Split from the A350 the same way as the rest of the 787 family: saw-tooth engine pods and four flat cockpit panes vs. smooth pods and a raccoon mask

Size and shape, to scale

Photos can't hold a consistent scale from shot to shot — these silhouettes are all drawn at the same 10 px = 1 m scale, so the proportions here are trustworthy even though the photos above aren't.

Variant notes

  • The longest 787, visibly the leggiest of the family, with a long tail cone behind the wing
  • Shorter range than the -9, so it concentrates on shorter long-haul routes with a handful of operators (Singapore Airlines, United, others)
  • Same wingspan as the -8 and -9, so length is the only way to split it from the rest of the family
