Sales of the B787-8 has been close to nothing since 2011. This was intentional by Boeing, preferring to sell the larger B787-9 than the smaller one. Coming to the B787-10ER/HGW, The B787-10 is MTOW limited and not fuel limited as perceived by media. The current B787-10 shares the same MTOW and fuel tank as the B787-9. At 254t, the B787-10 will only be able to load up around 60-65t of fuel (at MZFW), that's about 35-40t less than max fuel. It will be like 80-85t of fuel (to get Boeing brochure range of 11,910km), that's still 15-20t left. Soo adding extra fuel tank just removes valuable cargo space for Airlines with out achieving anything. The MTOW increase of 6t will only enable it fill existing tanks more. Unlike the B787-10, it's less of an issue for the B787-9. At the same 6t increase, it should enable it carry the same payload for longer and/or carry even more payload for the same distance. Adding more fuel tanks to anything doesn't always solve the issue. The A321 has an almost identical issue with the B787-10 and Airbus has been able to experiment with different configurations to deliver 8,000km+ range.

Shrinks never work, I don't think it will this time either. The A350 will still be more efficient for this market segment, Boeing would have to make the -8 a lot cheaper than the A350-1000 for it to work, due to the reduction in capital acquisition costs. The 777-9 has a chance because it is larger than any A350 variant. Airbus has tried to shoehorn in 10 across to the -1000 to try to match it, but no airline has purchased the 10 abreast option.

The -10 is an excellent sub-12h jet (similar to the A330-300), and (as much of an Airbus fan I am), beats the A359 & matches the A35K on a per seat mile basis on an identical config setup for a 6-7 hour mission. One big issue with the 78J is that on missions with decent pax & cargo, it refuses to trim the aircraft until the last 30T of fuel or so, thanks to its wing. So at high weights; it's constantly needing to decide to not trim, fly lower at higher airspeed, or fly at a high mach. Airbus had foresight to play around with the chord of the wing structure without affecting commonality too much. This is shown in the A359 & A35K, and also between A330s & A340s (and trim tanks on them too). Boeing sunk 50 billion USD into a wing that has little accommodation for modification without decimating commonality and requiring a whole array of re-certification and $$$ Boeing needs to forget about getting a significant pricing premium of the 78J over the 789, and sell it how it's supposed to be sold; a medium haul jet for sub-5000nm flights right up against the A339 and A359R

If the 787-10 is cheaper in development and operating cost but only lacks travel distance compared to the competition, that can actually be resolved easily as long as the operating cost is much lower than other aircrafts of the same passenger capacity by tweaking the system. I usually travel from MNL-LAX (also MLA-SFO alternatively) and back but I noticed on the return, we would usually take a short stop in Guam for refueling before continuing to MNL. (This was with the B-747 plane) The MNL-LAX route did not need refueling and so it was a direct flight but after some research I found out it was due to the help of the eastern jet stream phenomenon as it helped boost the flight from a strong tailwind, but not so on the reverse flight as planes fly against the stream. Only once did we have a direct flight from LAX-MNL and it was found to be due to the flight being only about half full or so, thereby lighter in weight. So the tweak here is just to incur more refueling stops (no need for passenger offloading). However one issue which was not covered extensively of why sales of this model was not going well is probably due to Boeing's credibility which has faltered lately, in lieu of the many defects of their planes encountered and also crashes partly due to their erroneous design/poor computer programming, etc.

It`s always funny if a non expert is talking about airplanes. Issue is usually not fuel capacity but MTOW. It`s also not about range that much, but about payload - range and in field performance. The Ten might be one of these planes that just got a little stretched too far, thus it has excellent economics. Still, airlines find great use for it. SIA uses their Tens for inner Asia missions with great success, flying high demand missions with a large economy class. United flys theirs across the Atlantic, great plane for these 6-8 hour missions if you don`t need to carry much cargo. Qantas will use the Ten to fly their routes to Asia. Etihad has great use for their plane, having multiple favorable missions to Europe that are ideal for the Ten, despite having hot & high issues. The competition the Ten faces is underrated. Her smaller sibling is a strong competitor that can fly almost every thinkable route and is perfectly sized as the 250-280 Pax plane. The A359 is the same size and delivers a stronger performance with more capabilities. It has sold 1000 units and is a fantastic plane. People underestimate how good A359 and B789 work for airlines. And, a bit forgotten, if you need a WB for shorter routes, the A339 can come cheap and is available. Also, don`t forget that many orders still can be changed. As air travel grows over time and airlines need more capacity, with many families orders shifted to the stretched versions. Overall, i don`t think the Ten is doing bad. It`s a great airplane if you need to fly above 300 pax on 4-8h missions and there are plenty of routes out there. A little bit more wing, a little bit more thrust, a little bit more range, and you have made an already attractive airplane even better.

I don't know what weight margin if any there might be in the struts (the long-lead item when upgrading gear components), but "footprint" often becomes a problem when an airframer looks to go higher and higher on MTOW. Regardless of how strong the gear structure and tires are, a pavement can only take so much. It won't fail outright, but accumulates fatigue damage and so limits are placed on the stress an airliner gear can impose. Those limits aren't as simple as just tire pressure/load, but that's a decent proxy for what's involved. A great example was the DC-10 vs the L-1011. The 10 was designed from the beginning to eventually take a dual center main landing gear, while the 1011 was not. Douglas sold plenty of long-range 10s as a result, while Lockheed was stuck with shortening the fuselage + jacking up tire pressure (of tires with more capacity than the standard 1011 one) to the most that airport authorities would allow. It still wasn't competitive with the DC-10-30 for long high-density routes, but at least it gave them a product to offer for that segment.

Even 789 fall short in payload when compares to 772, while A350 is actually slightly better than similar sized 777s. Therefore many airlines in Asia, especially with strong cargo demand, prefer A350 over 787 as their workhorse. Cathay for example has zero 787s, while in SIA 787 are exclusively regional. It doesn't mean 787 is bad, but it's better suit for lightly loaded flights. btw Asian carriers are more willing to invest in new aircraft, as the routes are more demanding, fuel saving is more significant, while competition is fierce. For example, majority of early 77Ws delivered before 2010 are to Asian or Middle East carriers, while 744 has largely faded out from their Transpacific fleets in the 2010s. 20 years is considered old here.

For reference JAL's 77Ws are already at the way out, despite the oldest is barely at 20.8 years. ME3 and SIA are famous for ditching aircraft early as well.

There wasn't proper research put into this work. The B787-10 isn't lacking in sales. From EIS to date, the B787-10 has gained more orders than the B787-8. Sales of the B787-8 has been close to nothing since 2011. This was intentional by Boeing, preferring to sell the larger B787-9 than the smaller one. Coming to the B787-10ER/HGW, The B787-10 is MTOW limited and not fuel limited as perceived by media. The current B787-10 shares the same MTOW and fuel tank as the B787-9. At 254t, the B787-10 will only be able to load up around 60-65t of fuel (at MZFW), that's about 35-40t less than max fuel. It will be like 80-85t of fuel (to get Boeing brochure range of 11,910km), that's still 15-20t left. Soo adding extra fuel tank just removes valuable cargo space for Airlines with out achieving anything. The MTOW increase of 6t will only enable it fill existing tanks more. Unlike the B787-10, it's less of an issue for the B787-9. At the same 6t increase, it should enable it carry the same payload for longer and/or carry even more payload for the same distance. Adding more fuel tanks to anything doesn't always solve the issue. The A321 has an almost identical issue with the B787-10 and Airbus has been able to experiment with different configurations to deliver 8,000km+ range.

The 787-9 replaced a significant number of 777-200 and 777-200ERs as the cabin lengths are almost identical so it was a "plug-in replacement" for many airlines. There are a not-insignificant number of 777-300ERs in operation today that are used for their capacity, not their range, and I believe the 787-10 should sell fairly well into that market as it is lighter than the A350-1000 and much lighter than the 777X.

Depending on payload requirement. A350-900 can carry 10t more payload than 787-10 beyond 5000nm, or fly 1300nm further with the same payload. It is slightly smaller than 787-10 and more expensive, but the payload-range advantage is enough to pay off on longer routes.

in theory, two planes with equal passenger floor space/capacity differing in max range, the one with lower range should also have lower empty weight. even though it cannot handle the longer route, a lower weight should mean better economics for intermediate range. but in actuality, the 787-10 and A350-900 have similar OEW. so perhaps Boeing goofed on 787-10. Boeing also goofed on 777-X because the metal fuselage is heavier than the all composite 350. Meaning it is neither optimized for ultra long range or best intermediate fuel economy.

Adding a moderate amount of range helped the A330ceo sales, I believe the final version of the A330-200 had around 7200nmi still air range, whereas the initial release was closer to 6400nmi, just going by memory here. Similarly the A333 saw more transatlantic action afer it's range/MTOW increases. For the 787-10 getting to 7000nmi in the brochure without major structural changes would be big. You mentioned the wing capacity, but with the longer body it doesn't even have the MTOW to fill the tanks at max weight now. Acccording to my off the cuff calculations, an extra 8.5T (17000lbs) of MTOW will get it there. It would still be 21.5T less than the A359 at this weight, approximately 577,000lbs MTOW for this IGW variant.

Meanwhile 787-10 and A350-900 have very similar trip costs, and the unit cost difference is really down to 787-10's bigger size. Many airlines would prefer the flexibility of A350-900 over the slight efficiency gain with 787-10.

Well, the issue is the range of only 6,400 nautical miles. But even then, 6,400 nautical miles is enough to fly from London-Heathrow to the US West Coast and most of eastern Asia. That's why I expect British Airways to seriously look at a large 787-10 buy to replace their aging 777-200ER planes in competition with the A350-900. I expect United to do the same to replace their aging 777-200/777-200ER fleet.

Most airlines now would avoid Russian airspace, and that adds 2-3h to Asia - Europe flying. Even for A350 operators like Finnair they need higher MTOW variants to consistently fly those routes.

@@steinwaldmadchen I think the 787-10 in British Airways service will fly primarily to North America, Africa and the MIddle East. Flying to the Far East will require something like the 777-200ER at minimum, and that's why I think BA is looking at a 25-plane A350-900 buy.

After flying on Virgin's A330-900neo, I disagree with you. The 2-4-2 and the quieter cabin gets my vote over the 787.

Airlines are buying the -10 just not in the numbers of the -9, also as Boeing has launched the -10IGW and once figures are in for it's performance this will sell pretty well, it's no fail as the title suggests but give it a few years and it will be a good seller. And to me if Boeing are banking on the 77-8 to cover the payload and range but we all know it's a plane which will not sell, spend the money on the 787 -11 with a new bigger wing and wing box, upgrade the landing gear to a triple bogie set, and increase engine thrust and it will be a success to covering the whole medium to long range aircraft with fleet commonalty to existing 787 airlines.

Qantas is using the 787-10 to replace their A330ceo , for medium hall routes. Although they have ordered A350-1000 for project sunrise and naturally one might have assumed that the A330neo would be a good replacement for their A330ceo and to have cockpit commonality with the A350. Singapore has both the A350-900 and the 787-10, they tend to use the A350-900s on longer routes and the 787-10 on shorter routes.

I find it funny why an airplane manufacturer in a duopoly needs a marketing department. Like, they don’t need to go on social media or pay billboards, it’s just calling airline executives…assuming they’re not the ones getting called for planes

I flew on the British Airways 787-10 from Newark to Heathrow last November. It was my first time on a 787 and I loved it. Plus, it’s reminiscent of the 767-400 which is one of my favorite aircraft. However, I understand the poor economics and diminished range compared to other 787 variants.

It’s been pretty clear from the beginning that the 787-9 is the ‘optimized’ version of the Dreamliner. While the -10 may fall a little short on range compared to the A350, it shares most parts, and pilots with the other 787s, and that is what really makes it make sense. It’s basically free extra sales for Boeing without much extra input.
