What nickname is commonly associated with the Boeing 787?

The Boeing 787 is commonly known by the nickname “Dreamliner.”

Boeing selected the Dreamliner name during the aircraft’s development and marketing campaign. The name emphasizes the company’s focus on passenger comfort, improved fuel efficiency, and long-range routes that could connect cities without traditional large-hub connections.

The 787 family uses extensive carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer composites, including major fuselage and wing structures. It also features large electronically dimmable windows, higher cabin humidity than many older jets, and systems designed to support a lower cabin altitude.

Dreamliner is a nickname and marketing name, not a separate aircraft model. The official family includes variants such as the 787-8, 787-9, and 787-10. “Dreamliner” is therefore the canonical name for the family as a whole rather than for only one length.
