Keeping the same wingspan as the 787-8, the 787-9 is a lengthened and strengthened variant with a 20 feet (6.1 m) longer fuselage and a 54,500 pounds (24,700 kg) higher maximum take-off weight (MTOW), seating 296 passengers in a typical two-class cabin configuration over a 7,565 nautical miles (8,706 mi; 14,010 km) range.

In the Boeing lineup, it is between the largest Boeing 737 MAX 9 of 194,700 lb (88.3 t) of maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) for 193 passengers in two classes over a 3,515 nmi (6,510 km) range, [2] and the smallest Boeing 787-8 of 502,500 lb (227.9 t) for 242 passengers in a 2-class configuration over a 7,355 nmi (13,621 km) range.

Fuel dumping of an Airbus A340-600 above the Atlantic Ocean near Nova Scotia Fuel dump nozzle of an Airbus A340-300. Fuel dumping (or a fuel jettison) is a procedure used by aircraft in certain emergency situations before a return to the airport shortly after takeoff, or before landing short of the intended destination (emergency landing) to reduce the aircraft's weight.
In the United States, the FAA uses a slightly different categorization, adding a block between medium and heavy, labeling aircraft capable of maximum takeoff weights more than 41,000 pounds (19 t) and less than 300,000 pounds (140 t) as "Large". [7] Of special note here is the narrow-bodied Boeing 757.
The pilot of a terrifying flight from Australia to New Zealand told those on board he temporarily lost control of his Boeing 787 after one of its instruments failed, a passenger said Monday, as ...
The payload fraction of modern twin-aisle aircraft is 18.4% to 20.8% of their maximum take-off weight, while single-aisle airliners are between 24.9% and 27.7%. An aircraft weight can be reduced with light-weight materials such as titanium , carbon fiber and other composite plastics if the expense can be recouped over the aircraft's lifetime.
