Boeing 787: More Than Just a Fuel-Efficient Plane?

So I was reading about the Boeing 787 and how there's this whole hidden math behind its design. Apparently, when Boeing started working on the Dreamliner, they weren't just thinking about fuel efficiency and range. They actually put a lot of focus on making long-haul flights less physically exhausting for passengers.

They used advanced materials and systems - like the composite fuselage - to help with things like reducing jet lag, dehydration, and fatigue. Pretty cool that an aircraft can have such a direct impact on how we feel after a long flight. It's not just about getting from A to B anymore, but also about how comfortable you are while doing it.

I think it's interesting how Boeing shifted the focus towards human physiology. Makes me wonder if we'll see more airlines choosing planes based on passenger comfort rather than just operational costs.

Anyone here flown on a 787? Did you notice any difference compared to older planes? Also, do you think other manufacturers will follow this trend, or is this something unique to Boeing's approach?

I've flown on a 787 a couple of times, and yeah, I did feel less wiped out after long flights. The higher cabin humidity and lower altitude really make a difference. It's kinda like being in a more natural environment, even though you're 30,000 feet up. I think Airbus is doing similar stuff with the A350, focusing on comfort too. It's great to see this shift toward passenger experience. Hopefully, more airlines will start prioritizing comfort over just cramming in more seats. Anyone else noticed the mood lighting? I found it surprisingly effective for adjusting to time changes.

I've flown on the 787 a few times, and I gotta say, the difference is noticeable. The cabin pressure and humidity settings are a game changer. I usually get off long-haul flights feeling like a zombie, but with the 787, it was way better. Not perfect, but better. Curious if Airbus will take a similar route with their A350 or if they'll stick to the more traditional focus on efficiency. Anyone tried both and noticed a difference?
