About the Boeing 787-3 The Boeing 787-3 is the short-to-medium-range variant of Boeing's revolutionary Dreamliner family, optimized for high-density regional routes. Designed primarily for the Japanese domestic market, the 787-3 combines the Dreamliner's advanced technology with a more compact airframe, making it ideal for busy, short-haul operations.

Powered by Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 or General Electric GEnx engines, the 787-3 delivers 20% better fuel efficiency compared to similar-sized aircraft, along with significantly reduced noise levels—perfect for frequent takeoffs and landings.

Featuring a lightweight composite airframe, the 787-3 excels in efficiency and performance on regional routes, offering airlines superior economics and passengers a more comfortable flying experience. Its advanced Fly-by-Wire system, modern avionics, and innovative cabin design ensure smooth operations, even on high-frequency schedules.

Designed for discerning simmers, the Boeing 787-3 Professional brings this unique Dreamliner variant to life with unprecedented realism and attention to detail, ensuring an immersive and authentic flight experience every time.

The 787-3 was a planned variant of the 787 Dreamliner, a twin-engine, wide-body jet airliner developed and manufactured by American aviation company Boeing. The -3 was to be a version of the 787 line for domestic short-haul passenger routes that could accommodate between 290 and 300 passengers.

The 787 family of aircraft evolved out of a clean-sheet initiative by Boeing in the late 1990s. The base model of the series, the 787-8, took its maiden flight on December 15, 2009 and entered commercial service on October 26, 2011. Boeing initially planned on releasing the 787-3 at roughly the same time as they debuted the -8. Several problems, however, created incremental delays and Boeing ultimately cancelled the project in 2010 when the last orders for the airframe were scrapped.

The genesis of the 787 Dreamliner family began in the late 1990s with Boeing looking toward their next significant leap in airliner evolution. What emerged was a next-generation, pioneering icon of efficiency and performance that would set new standards for the commercial aviation industry throughout the world. The Dreamliner is built primarily of composite materials, notably carbon fiber reinforced polymers. This lowers its weight, increases its strength, lengthens airframe lifespan, and reduces its complexity of construction. Its wing, which incorporates raked tips, is a marvel of aerospace design that optimizes lift and minimizes drag.

The 787 was engineered with a synergistic approach taking all systems, notably its powerplants, into consideration during the development process. The Dreamliner is not only far more efficient than previous-generation aircraft, but also quieter, in great part due to the incorporation of chevrons on its engine nacelles. Its state-of-the-art avionics and flight controls maximize pilot efficiency and situational awareness, greatly enhancing aircraft reliability and safety.

The 787-3 Dreamliner would have been piloted by two and would have seated between 290 and 330 passengers, depending on specific seating arrangement. Boeing planned for the 787-3 to use the identical fuselage as the -8, which measures 186 feet, 1 inch, but have a shorter wingspan than the -8’s 197 feet, 3-inch span. If produced, the 787-3 would have been powered by two high-bypass turbofan engines, either the General Electric Gnx-1B or the Rolls-Royce Trent 1000, each of which delivers up to 64,000 pounds of thrust.
