Boeing are proud of their new Boeing 787 and their primary
PR reason is that the 'no bleed air achitecture' (sounds like the design of a Church) is so much more efficient in saving fuel - sounds great doesn't it? to any non flier.
The real reason can be found in Boeing's submission to The House of Lords (who one MUST NOT *** to) from 2007 which is copied here exactly from their official Memorandum to their non flying and easily misled Lordships
:
"The Boeing 787 will have a no bleed architecture for the outside supply to the cabin. This architecture
eliminates the risk of engine oil decomposition products from being introduced in the cabin supply air in the rare event of a failed engine compressor seal. In addition, this architecture improves
fuel efficiency, thus reducing fuel burn and associated engine emissions"
Some honesty, please!
DO NOT PASS THIS INFORMATION ON!
IT IS NOT TO BE UNDERSTOOD - YET!
