The Dreamliner carries a modest 200-250 passengers, but travels an impressive 8000 miles at Mach 0.85 using 20% less fuel. It's the first commercial composite aircraft, made from materials lighter and stronger than aluminum. It's also the first airliner with a completely new aesthetic and passenger experience with vaulted ceilings, dynamic, color-shifting internal lighting (to simulate day and night, mitigating jet lag), new larger windows (with electronic tinting instead of window shades), and better cabin climate than any other aircraft (cleaner air, higher air pressure, more humidity = less airsickness).
