Be sure to stay away from the Airbus A350 as well, lasernigel, since it also uses CFRP for it's fuselage.

You might also want to stay away from the Airbus A380, since it has more CFRP in it by weight than the 787 and A350. It also uses a fair bit of composite-laminate (GLARE) in the upper fuselage.
