Boeing 787-8

Field marks

  1. Chevron (saw-tooth) nacelle trailing edge plus four flat cockpit windowpanes are the fastest 787-family tells vs. any other widebody
  2. Shortest fuselage in the 787 line — looks noticeably stubbier than the -9 or -10 parked nearby
  3. Raked wingtip with no separate upward blade
  4. Split from the A350 by nacelle edge (chevron here vs. smooth) and cockpit windows (four flat panes here vs. a raccoon mask)

Variant notes

  • The shortest and least common 787 — the -9 heavily outsells it and the -10 has caught up in fleet numbers
  • Same wingspan as the -9 and -10; length is the only reliable way to split 787 variants from outside
  • Two engine choices, GEnx-1B or Trent 1000, both carry the same chevron-edged nacelle look
