Windows
The windows on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner are obviously bigger and wider than other jet airliners such as the Boeing 777 or Boeing 737.

When everyone is still sleeping, you can just slightly raise the brightness, instead of lifting the flap and killing your eyes.

Engines
To most manufacturers, the engines are the main things that make it efficient. Although it is mostly true, some conditions will apply. But of course, many will agree that they really are the main technical specs of the aircraft. The engines on the aircraft are one of a kind. They are bigger and more fuel efficient while less noisy. There are 2 types of engines used on the Boeing 787, they are; General Electric GEnx and the Rolls-Royce Trent 1000. These engines are hyper efficient.
