The first delivery of US aircraft maker Boeing's revolutionary new 787 Dreamliner has arrived at Tokyo's Haneda Airport.
The mid-size passenger plane left Everett, Washington on Tuesday and landed in Japan on Wednesday morning.
Japanese carrier All Nippon Airways took delivery of the jet. The Dreamliner is built using lightweight carbon composite material, making it 20 percent more fuel efficient than conventional aircraft.
Japanese manufacturers made 35 percent of the plane's parts, including the main wings.
