Why Did Boeing Build The 787 Dreamliner With Engine Chevrons?

Boeing officially launched its 787 Dreamliner program in 2004 before the type entered service in late 2011 with launch customer All Nippon Airways (ANA). The game-changing twinjet widebody was designed with fuel efficiency and long range in mind, and has proven itself an extremely popular product, achieving over 2,200 orders and around 1,200 deliveries thus far.
