Boeing: Flipping the Switch to a Glass Flight Deck

Boeing engineers are transforming old, analog flight decks covered in hundreds of dials and gauges into cutting-edge digital flight decks. Now, everything a pilot needs to know during flight is integrated into advanced digital displays. Learn more about Boeing Innovations at www.boeing.com/innovation/

My dream job since I was 8. Played Microsoft flight simulator all my life I'm 24 still not a pilot. I love aviation I love watching videos just like this. What technology has come. Boeing keep it up!!

[@HtS643KyS6555GxQ3edA]

Can they make the floor beneath the pilots be a monitor that displays what is underneath the cockpit in the sky?

[@sin7wu]

Love Boeing. Just applied for a summer internship. I hope I get the opportunity to become a member of Boeing- Sin N.

[@arturka112]

This is just the beginning of the Integrated Avionics Technology...

[@KCOWMOO]

how the hell can that be more safer, lose power or any electrical malfunction the whole thing goes black, no more being able to control the aircraft, I think to many people have been playing with there cell phones

[@asianbacon3145]

Don't most modern Boeing and Airbus aircraft have glass cockpits already? My sure what they're trying to present

[@strangeman6070]

I'm glad "more safer" is flying my airplanes

[@erzsebet.erdodine.sarkozi350]

A pilot in a flight simulator in everyday life should be.In many situations, can be ctitical to prevent learn practicing. Very Good thing....

[@gerd4961]

What happens when an EMP hits?

[@dolfingamez1434]

I love this video and all the other vids

[@fowlbird1000]

Seeing that the glass flight deck has been around for years, why put a video out about it now?

[@rednovember2205]

Inb4 1 million views, keep it up Boeing!

[@denismotamusic]

now that's a beautiful cockpit...good job boeing team.

Boeing how did you do the part with the small piece of interior design and development for the plane?

[@mariobros2880]

prepared for 9/11 comments anyone

[@LUCKYNY718]

The future. Boeing will be building Commercial Space Planes and other advanced aircraft well into the 22nd century.

[@thegr8rambino]

Boeing needs to start making a new supersonic plane like the Concorde again instead of these fancy little touch ups

[@SuperRip7]

+thegr8rambino This is very important.

[@thegr8rambino]

SuperRip7 which is?

[@SuperRip7]

It's new cockpit.

[@thegr8rambino]

SuperRip7 i can see that, but a new commercial supersonic plane would be way cooler

[@jayyoutube8790]

They are... It was announced that NASA has a contract Boeing to build a supersonic passenger plane..

[@michaelfoye5418]

Am I the only person who thinks touch screens are too"touchy"for use in an aircraft during rough turbulence, sudden loss of power or other circumstances where the cockpit is vibrating or high g forces are being brought to bear? I'm pretty sure, certainly hope, that they use s better touchscreen than my phone does because I"hit"the wrong button a lot with touchscreens. I think its great that technology advances, but its not an advance if it isn't an advantage over the previous methods. Does this control system actually work as well under stress as it does during smooth skies?

[@givmi_more_w9251]

+Michael Foye It does. Otherwise those planes wouldn't fly with it. Aerospace equipment has to be licensed, and they are strong criteria. The Dreamliner to my knowledge flies with that touchscreen for ... 5 years now. Never heard of troubles with it. And compared to the steam-gauge cockpits those glass cockpits don't overwhelm you. Ever seen a 747-200 cockpit on a photo? It's madness. It's cool, but insane to monitor. But I perfectly understand your anxiety. I am also always a bit skeptical about such things - but then you have to keep in mind that the computers on an airplane are not to be compared with our computers at home.

[@crowbarasdfghjkl8081]

Stuff that is important is not operated by touchscreens.

[@stevenhalliday7297]

god i know. Imagine the sheer pandemonium if the pilot accidently turned the feature film over or accidently pressed the "alluh akbhar" button.

[@hungrydude69]

+steven halliday you rrddbnnjb

[@michaelfoye5418]

+steven halliday I was more concerned with a pilot having trouble with the touchscreen during rough weather and other unfavorable conditions. I've heard more than one pilot speaking about how they had to operate cockpit controls in darkness or struggle against g forces to reach controls.

[@c0r5e]

I m very concern about u guys.Did the Airbus A380 PAY Boeing while copying boeings idea?

[@sethjansson5652]

just dont make them bigger, we've already had this type of issue during 2001

[@darklinkjr12]

0:41 showing airbus on a boeing video LOL

[@MostafaMansoori]

Beautiful, beautiful, nicely choreographed. Love ya Boeing, lets keep those planes moving. Hoping God Willing for a second visit to the Boeing Commercial Airplane Plant in Everett, WA since May 2009. Boy did I have a blast. I spent about $150 buying the new Boeing 747-8i, Boeing 777-300ER, Boeing 767-400ER, the Boeing 737-900ER NG, the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner and a United Boeing 747-400. I still have my UPS Boeing 727 since I received it as a gift way back in the 20th century. I also have the Boeing 747-200B VC-25A Air Force One Model. Nice collection. Can wait until the new Boeing 737 MAX comes out. You guys are the best airplane makers in the World. My next book I will read is the Boeing 747 after I had finished reading the Boeing 777 way back in 2010.

[@kevinyoung4007]

Gawd! I got an 788 for $70! Doubt you got all that for a good price, xD

[@rednovember2205]

See this is why I have a bit of a problem with Donald Trump. You are a great example of a kind hearted good Muslim who wishes good upon all. (Pardon me for bringing up politics) You are fascinated with Airplanes like many other Americans, and aren't trying to kill anyone. Good people like you need to be noticed in the world. Anyway are those Boeing's you picked up models? Or parts? 150 seems like quite a good deal.

[@jviation737]

+The Privileged Capitalist I agree! Muslims are great people (many of my friends are Muslim while I am not) and I think it's unacceptable that political leaders think do bad of Muslims

[@gregbach5]

Lol they showed some a320

[@mungolianbeef]

does this change make the plane more cyber secure?

[@LUCKYNY718]

what a great point! the thing is these screens are just the same as dials and guages just in an advanced technological form.

[@dokollsolutionsinc]

Nice!

[@tigre4062]

Me sorprenden los avances tecnológicos y científicos. Como a muchos ,me llama la atención el espacio sideral y saber si se puede vivir en otros planetas, pero sin descuidar nuestro planeta tierra.

[@Aurora-pi6jr]

Quite interesting

[@Chrismasterski]

dont drop it or itll shatter

[@qvz.6]

My dream plane ♥️

[@johnr1066]

I'd have liked to have seen Boeing go to a full touchscreen cockpit rather then the hybrid system they have in the 787. Maybe next time?

[@hiyt342]

I love Boeing

[@lemo_manda6076]

Wow realy cool:)

[@jviation737]

First! Beautiful video Boeing, keep up the amazing work!

"Pilots love new technology"....Ehhhh do they really though? I prefer an analog cockpit to the glass cockpit.

[@cliffordsulham9510]

+Boeing what if there is a power outage

[@jg5001]

And how many power outages has any Boeing been through? Unless both turbines are suddenly knocked out as well as the aux unit, the power systems are fine.

[@jg5001]

Okay, you can ignore the first sentence.

[@jaydenbecles]

what if the power goes off

[@mhcm5604]

I love boeing

[@pineappleguy1757]

OK of they don't have to touch the screen to make anything work OK fine but of they have to touch it heck no cause it will be either to touchy or it won't want to work when you touch it so either you won't be able to land or you accidentally something off and then you crash and if you're paying attention to the screen because its not working Daniel crash it won't be paying attention to how high you are or how will you are so you could hit another plane or crash into the ground or go through stormy patch of clouds

[@davionjohnson7298]

pat the same thing happened

[@seanluo8369]

Are the screens touch screens? If not, please put them in new generations of aircraft.

[@wumbologytm4466]

They are touch :)

[@seanluo8369]

WumbologyTM Are you sure?

[@wumbologytm4466]

Yup :) Some of the ones in the 777 are and most in the 787 are. Some however use a small joysticks or buttons to scroll...but still, many are touch.

[@dickhead1014]

Don't get me wrong it's a fantastic idea but what if they accidentally pressed the wrong button?

[@givmi_more_w9251]

+Nick „budapestifiu“ Then the in-built self-destruction machine will go off and kill innocent children in Africa. Geez. Just kidding - the old planes had a lot of buttons to press at the wrong time, too. That is not a problem of the glass cockpit - the steam-gauge cockpits where stuffed with, well, gauges, that's why they had a flight engineer on board to eyeball them. Nowadays, the computer does it, and it isn't that new. The 767 had a glass cockpit when it came out - of course not that fancy with touch-screen and everything.

[@jviation737]

Plane explodes (jk) Nothing really, and they are trained and know what to do

[@AF-909]

ما في عرب

[@peterchajo]

I prefer the 767/757/777/747-400/8 cockpit the 787 is too boring and easy to use

[@Nellxi_]

But then someone would hack it and crash the plane

[@sonshinelight]

It foggiest my mind that instructors in flying clubs STILL want you to learn on steam gauge equipped 1978 Cessna 172Ms when current state of the art is far superior to round guages. They say they want you to learn this first and then graduate to glass only if you need to. Please! give me a Cessna 172 with more situational awareness and information at eye level. Even though I learned to drive in a Chevy II with 3 on the tree, doesn't mean I'll ever drive one again.... coffee, black, thanks

Enough with this antique technology #fulldisclosurenow

[@jordanmckenzie3096]

Boeing sucks for making grandpa move out of his house in north Charlestown in North Carolina

[@bgovetas]

Pilots have deliberately been buying planes with analog gauges because of the volatility of batteries, and if your batteries were to go dead (like can happen, especially with Boeing's 787 Dreamliner as well as many small planes) and you had to land, analog gauges require no power, so they would all still work, but all those innovative avionics can't run without power, making it very dangerous to land for larger planes especially because they fly IFR (which stands for instrument flight reference, meaning you use the instruments, instead of your visual outside sight line to fly) just making it more dangerous if there were to be an electrical problem.

[@philwoods2255]

Elecctrical systems on airplanes like these are backed up by 2 extra systems in case one fails, and if all 3 fail you'd still be able to monitor because of the RAT
