Boeing 787: The legend of Dreamliner

[@gerardosalazar161]

I flew the 777 for 19 years and 4 years ago I was introduced to the 787. Wow! What a shock! It’s a fantastic aircraft, everything electric and so friendly; imagine you enter the future and this is what I felt. I became an instructor and it has been an honor to introduce this Dream to my crews. Thank you Boeing!

I think this aircraft could easily replace the 767 and maybe the 777. Its just amazing and also a beautiful plane.

Hey man! You’re welcome! What airline? I was a field mechanic and crew lead at the BSC delivery center for YEARS! I know so much about troubleshooting electronics, I could be an industrial automation technician 😂. Everything EVERYTHING is electric. There are 2 bleed air ducts on the whole plane. For ring cowl anti ice. I put blood sweat and tears into those babies. Mostly sweat, but glad to hear she’s loved 😂

[@cindysalomone9308]

I retired from American Airlines in 2001 after thirty four years as an A&P mechanic. I started on the 707 and then on to the 727, 747,757,767. Once retired, I got to fly on the 737, which the company did not buy, and the incredible 777. Since the 787 took to the sky's, I have yet to experience her. However, I have are lot to look forward to. Hopefully, before I leave this life, supersonic flight will once again become a reality. For those of us who spent most of their lives lucky enough to be a part of aviation, I am grateful that the airplane has shrunk our world and united the people of the home we all call planet Earth.

[@StevieWonder737]

Flew the 787 as captain for 3 years prior to mandatory retirement. When I started flying it, there were more astronauts than 787 pilots. It was an incredible airplane that was a dream (pun intended) to fly.

[@ngaviation3489]

Boeing is a great company, and the 787 is the best, I love it, it is so elegant and pretty, did you enjoy flying it? What was it like? How did the plane handle? Was it manueverable? Or did it take time to turn?

[@StevieWonder737]

It was a superb airplane. Almost no mechanical issues after the battery issue was solved (the subcontractor's quality control) it was virtually flawless. As a former fighter pilot I found the responsiveness to be exceptional for an aircraft of its size. Performance was impressive in all stages of flight from takeoff to landing.

[@ej_tech]

I have flown in both the 787 and the A350 and I understand why people compare both aircraft. Both feel the same overall with a higher humidity and higher air pressure cabins, both have RGB LED lighting, and both are relatively new aircraft. The only clear difference in experience is that the 787 has a slightly narrower seats for being a narrower plane.

[@artdelac]

Pls bear in mind that seat width and pitch are determined by the airline, not the plane manufacturer

[@erikbuiten14]

artdelac yeah but 787 is narrower so the same configuration 3-3-3 will be very tight on 787 while 350 is wider=way more comfort

[@artdelac]

MaidenAirTM Hmm, that is a very narrow, misguided view. You have to realize that the 787 was originally designed by Boeing to accommodate 8 abreast seating but it was the AIRLINES that decided to squeeze 9 seats for more profit. I appreciate both Boeing and Airbus but facts should matter. In fact, it is Airbus that is giving their airline customers the option of 11 abreast seating in the latest version of the A380. How could that be comfortable on long haul flights?

[@bboyjunyor]

Educate yourself! the A350 is wider! "The cabin's internal width will be 5.61 m (18.4 ft) at armrest level compared to 5.49 m (18.0 ft) in the Boeing 787[106] and 5.87 m (19.3 ft) in the Boeing 777" The A350 does seem to be a bit more comfortable and it feels a bit more premium compared to the B787! I have flown a few on both! (from norwegian, klm to qatar and singapore which have both models)

Beautiful airliner and best company. Boeing is an example of honesty, selflessness and moral integrity. We need more companies like Boeing who are putting safety ahead of profit and always innovate to make a new generation of airplanes safer than their heritage. The 787... I admire the absolute workmanship of the hull section overlap joints and fasteners. They are so proud of their work that they have their customers worldwide just look in awe at these structural components more often than before. And don't get me started on that really innovative battery containment box. It's a work of art. How graciously it separates all these Lithium Ion cells. Next time I fly the 787, I will bring my parachute in case I get a free upgrade to a structural inflight breakup experience. 😍

Worked for Boeing Charleston on the 787 project for 7 years. Built the 47 (tail) section. Nice video.

I have flown on 787 with Ethiopian (first time with this company), being a frequent flier, it was the best crossing of the atlantic ocean ever. I found very comfortable configuration with excellent leg space (I am 6 feet) , the improved air humidity was something I noticed, feeling much better , to my delight, the plane had very good space as well for overhead cabin suitcase/backpacks compartments, really excellent on this. there are airliners that really make a fuss to travellers due to this, excellent entertainment system and flight info as well. I found also the bathrooms being more roomy than average,- a very welcomed thing. The crew has more space for preparing the meals, helping the quality of their service. In all, the windows adjustable tint instead of moc¿ving shades was superb,, all cabin not disturbed by excess of sun light. I slept incredibly well being in economy. The plane its like a swan, its long wings evidenced this is something very new high tech., now I UNDERSTAND why we did not suffer of any turbulence, there is also new technology for this. Also important, the remarkable lower level of noise inside the cabin, felt like reading a book at iat home. GREAT plane, resulting in a new level of client satisfaction . I want to fly again on this.

Enjoyed this video, in fact I really like this channel and the work you do. Some of the aviation content on KZbin. As for the 787, it is now my favorite aircraft to fly on. It is comfortable, even in economy class (I have literally flown around the world on this aircraft, with BA).Great cabin environment, for all the reasons that you gave. As result, I find that I arrived at my long haul destinations much more fresh than on previous aircrafts. More than likely due to this and to the quieter cabin. Another thing that I have noticed, though this maybe more a coincidence based on the flights that I was on, but the airframe’s construction seems to help dampen the effects of moderate turbulence. Aesthetically, the plane is beautiful to look at, especially its wings in flight. They are such a clean and efficient design. All and all, I am enthusiastic about this plane. Once more thank you for making this well produced video.

[@anhedonianepiphany5588]

Quote: "airframe’s construction seems to help dampen the effects of moderate turbulence" Perhaps you missed the portion of the video where active electronic turbulence abatement was described, as that's responsible for your comfort not the airframe.
