What is the approximate wingspan of the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner?

The story behind the answer

The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner has an approximate wingspan of 60.1 metres.

Its long, flexible wings were designed with advanced composites and distinctive raked tips. The design improves aerodynamic efficiency and helps the aircraft cruise economically on long routes.

The 787-8 is the shortest and earliest passenger version of the 787 family. The 787-9 and 787-10 have the same basic wing concept, although their dimensions and performance details differ.

The 787’s wingspan can be confused with the aircraft’s length, which is about 56.7 metres for the 787-8. Wingspan measures from one wingtip to the other, while length measures from nose to tail.
