Boeing’s 787-10 took its first test flight. It’s the largest of Boeing’s three Dreamliner jets. The 787-8, 787-9, and now the 787-10 are all built from carbon fiber composite materials.

This is just the start of a series of test flights that the 787-10 needs to have before going to market. Boeing released its biggest Dreamliner in a climate where airlines are slowing down purchases of large airplanes.

The newest Dreamliner will sell at a $312.8 million list price.
