Singapore Airlines will use 49 787-10s to replace their current A330-300 and regional 777-200s alongside the premium heavy A350-900.

The Singapore livery fits so well on the B787-10! I’m hoping I can see it a day.

I believe they are test flights. They will undergo some tests as usual before being delivered to the customer 😊

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 😉
Keeping the same wingspan as the 787-8, the 787-9 is a lengthened and strengthened variant with a 20 feet (6.1 m) longer fuselage and a 54,500 pounds (24,700 kg) higher maximum take-off weight (MTOW), seating 280 passengers in a typical three-class arrangement over a 7,635 nautical miles (8,786 mi; 14,140 km) range. It features active boundary-layer control on the tail surfaces, reducing drag.
In 2005, the entry into service (EIS) was planned for 2010. The firm configuration was finalized on Jul...

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