This paper aims to provide an overview of the new materials that are currently in use in the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The 787 stands at the pinnacle of today’s aviation sector and is an engineering marvel, renowned for its groundbreaking innovation and exceptional technical capabilities. Most notably, advanced composites have never been used to this extent in a passenger jet before, representing the first step of ushering in a new era of composite use within the aviation sector. This paper aims to provide a thorough overview of the new materials in 3 sections: composites, metals, and ceramics. This study will detail why the aircraft’s components are made of a newer material, delve deeper into the properties of that material, highlight some of its disadvantages, and explore the industrial techniques used to enhance the quality of components used in the 787. This study will help in providing valuable insights on the practical applications and drawbacks of the new materials, illustrating their potential use even beyond the aviation industry,
