What kind of aircraft is this?
The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is a twin-engine, twin-aisle long-haul jet with a largely carbon-composite structure, in service since 2011.
In plain terms, it's a jet (turbofan) multi-engine airplane. Certification: Not type certificated (e.g. amateur-built / experimental).
There are 21 aircraft of this exact model variant on the US register, and about 214 Boeing aircraft with closely related model designations, out of 317,717 registered aircraft in total.
An aircraft's age on its own says little about how safe it is: airliners are maintained on strict, regulator-approved schedules, and inspections become more detailed as aircraft get older. More about the Boeing 787 Dreamliner →

Aug 12, 2006 (23:10 UTC)Accident · Jamestown, NDNTSB #CHI06CA229Aircraft in report: Cessna 150Damage: SubstantialHighest injury: None
This happened before the current aircraft was built, so it involved a different aircraft that previously used this N-number.
NTSB probable cause: The pilot's inadequate preflight planning resulted in the pilot not attaining the proper takeoff climb and failure to maintain terrain clearance. Contributing factors included the transmission wires, the row of trees, and the field of corn.
