And same fuel tank capacity aswell 😉

But the difference is only 20 feet.

But 787-10 has more seats capacity. But I believe 787-10 has the same engine, fuel tank capacity, and same MTOW with 787-9 CMIIW

For more information, you can look it up here 😉

Well, that kinda sad. But nothing can beat the 787 wing flex.
