Boeing 787 Dreamliner

Sunday, Boeing unveilled its new 787 Dreamliner, billed as the most environmentally friendly commercial airliner ever, reports the BBC.

The Dreamliner is made carbon fiber instead of aluminium, which significantly reduces the overall weight of the plane. That means lowered fuel requirements and reduced CO2 emissions, as much as 20% lower than commercial airplanes currently in use.

Detractors, though say that while the 787 is essentially more environmentally friendly, lowered fuel prices will translate to more travelers, and cancel out the benefits by volume.
