Most aircraft have a max dif of 8psi but presumably the Dreamliner is going to be much more.
Max diff on the 747-400 is 9.4 psi!

Well in my Gulfstream G550, my cruise altitude is 48,000 feet at Mach 0.80 so there can't be an big difference :ok:

If you are cruising at FL480, you are either FL470B490 or don't know that RVSM ends at FL410. In the GLEX, 10.25 psid, gives a cabin at 4,500 when cruising at FL 450.

How about 88,000 # of fuel on a 8 hour flight at Mach .85 starting out at FL380 then 400.

Was that the Seattle/Farnoborough flight for the demo787?
Curious, what was TOW?

Some interesting Altitude and indicated Groundspeed numbers in this flight to Peurto Rico

It's really pointless to compare the 767 with the 787 - we surely hope that it's better. Why not comparing it to an A330, which is the direct opponent on the market? I guess if it's 20% to the 76 then it would be about 10% to an 33, so not much...
