From a visual design point of view, a triple would have helped to balance out the middle section of the aircraft better IMHO. The -9 features a double main bogey (just like the -8).It’s a design detail that made me wrinkle my nose at first, but as the years have gone on, I’ve grown to like it. The flat nose of the -9 (and all Dreamliner aircraft) gives the fuselage more of a “cigar” shape than other airplanes in this category.I’ll update these drawings sometime in the future when I run across a more detailed depiction of the sectioning. I don’t claim any of my illustrations to be perfect, so this is going to have to do (for now).I haven’t been able to find detailed assembly drawings for the 787-9, so the part lines that you see in my illustrations may not be entirely accurate. I’m going to be a bit honest and tell you that I had to take some wild freaking guesses when it came to illustrating the part lines on the fuselage of this aircraft. The 787-10 18′ longer, and as you might image, looks a bit too stretched. As different as it looks compared to the -8, the -9 variant isn’t even the longest 787 Dreamliner in Boeing’s lineup.
