The Model 40 was the first Boeing airplane to carry passengers, using steel tubing for the nose and curved wood-veneer laminate for the middle of the fuselage. The wings were wood and fabric. The 787 Dreamliner is the latest addition to the Boeing commercial line. As much as 50 percent of the primary structure — including the fuselage and wing — on the 787 are made of composite materials.
