This 3D model was originally created with Sketchup 8 and then converted to all other 3D formats. Native format is .skp 3dsmax scene is 3ds Max 2016 version, rendered with Vray 3.00 AA 787-9 by 707. The 787-9 will be the first variant of the 787 with a stretched or lengthened fuselage that is 206 feet [63 m] long. It is to seat 250–290 passengers in three classes with a range of 8,000 to 8,500 nautical miles {14,800 to 15,750 km}. This variant differs from the 787-8 in several ways, including structural strengthening, a lengthened fuselage, a higher fuel capacity, a higher maximum take-off weight [MTOW], but with the same wingspan as the 787-8. The targeted entry into service {EIS} date, was originally planned for 2010, but by October 2011 deliveries were scheduled to begin in early 2014. Boeing is targeting the 787-9 to compete with both passenger variants of the Airbus A330 and to replace its 767-400ER. Like the 787-8, it will also open up new non-stop routes. The official configuration was set to final on July 1st, 2010. When launched, the 787-9 will have the same fuel capacity as the 787-8. The design differences meant higher weight and resulted in a slightly shorter range than the 787-8. After further consultation with airlines, design changes were incorporated to add a forward tank to increase its fuel capacity, so it has a longer range and a higher MTOW than the 787-8. Air New Zealand is the launch customer for the 787-9. The first 787-9 is currently in final assembly and is set to roll out and begin test flights in August 2013.
