Flying on 787's first flight to Japan

[@manifestgtr]

"my dream came true" that made me smile...seems like a nice guy

[@ibogeyman]

Congrats to all who worked on the 787 project. Hope to fly this aircraft in the future!

[@Boeing]

@Deltapilot96 Thank you too for your comment! Just wanted to let you know too that we posted a video we produced a few months ago called "Boeing 787 turns down the volume" which shows how Boeing engineers reduced the noise profile of the 787 by 60 percent. Thanks!

[@alonesnowwolf]

ah this plane looks so peaceful up above the clouds and seems like its the airs smooth sister. i really like it.

[@Boeing]

@winterstellar Thanks for your comment. We posted a video we produced a few months ago called "Boeing 787 turns down the volume" which shows how Boeing engineers reduced the noise profile of the 787 by 60 percent.

0:44 I LOVE THE WING VIEW! AND WING FLEX! CANT WAIT TO FLY IT!

[@0Heavy0Metal0]

My company makes a few small parts (bearings, brackets) that are used on this plane. Our quality is 100%. 99% is not good enough. Makes me proud to have a very small part of this wonderful plane. I know what we put into our parts and I know that all the other suppliers are held to the same high standards. We also had parts on the space shuttle. Same rigid quality specs.

[@Airlineguy786RAHS]

Once I was driving through Seattle and I saw a 787 ANA in that livery. I can't wait to fly one. Thumbs up if you want to fly in the 787

[@zgSH4DOW]

ANA is a very lucky airline. The 787 is a real engineering feat.

[@nguyenngohoang]

Wish you all the best with the new Dreamliner 787 ! Greet job Boeing team!

[@Airplanepilot501]

In the future i want to fly the 787.Its beautiful airplane for sure!!!

[@ThanhCuTi]

Can't wait to fly on this beautiful aircraft.

[@Yardieboss]

I love Boeing, especially 707, 727, 737

[@SuperDreamliner787]

787! One of the greatest airplanes ever!!

[@pubuman]

@jimdep333 Now now, there is no need for this kind of animosity! They both make wonderful aircraft!

[@starling321]

This plane is really quiet and also it looks beautiful

[@IchiTrois]

Look at that beautiful glass cockpit

[@Shadowcontheoriginal]

So, Proud of Building such a Beautiful Plane.

[@peterlim33]

Beautiful aircraft, Boeing 787 !!!

[@zadrik1337]

It does have "winglets" in the form of a blended wing. The smaller version will have the old-school winglets because they need a shorter wing to fit into smaller spaces.

[@maverick967]

Great news and Video! I just flew my first flight on the A380 with Air France and it's was amazingly quiet! I can't wait to grace the skies on this beautiful airplane and hopefully fly it someday at Delta airlines!

[@hgrgic]

Good job Boeing and ANA. Greetings from Croatia.

[@archieh70]

Excellent - can't wait to fly on a 787!

[@theknightlynews]

Wow, so exciting, a plane with one engine on each wing, that seats 250 passengers and flies at mach 0.85. We've never seen that before. But the most exciting part is the 15% increased fuel efficiency. When have we ever seen a plane that was more fuel efficient than the generation that came before? Air travel will never be the same.

[@Eltoca21]

beautiful and elligant and slick streamline looking plane...

[@rsls101]

I want to fly to Japan next year!

[@OmsoiTekken]

WOW. This place is so slick. I love it.

[@FreshZerglings]

Looks good. Saves gas, quiet, fast, sleek interior. Good job Boeing

[@clarinervium]

After years of Delay.. AT LAST!! Congratz to ANA and Boeing!!!

[@X_BILSON]

Well actually 0.85 is the Typical Cruise Speed. It can infact do Mach 0.90 - of which for some airlines, that extra speed could be used over fuel saving. Of course with a strong enough tailwind it can actually break the speed of sound relative to Ground., meanwhile airspeed will remain 0.90, and anything over that - it will need to be tested for damage.

[@LNTutorialsNL]

Those PFD's look so awesome! Can't wait to fly those planes on sims!

[@clutchem]

Straight climb to FL400 on a 9hr flight!? Amazing!!!

[@sharpboy77]

I am English and I have always way preferred Boeing to Airbus. When the A340-300 came out to take on the 747-400, it was weak in comparison. The A340-600 was an improvement, but still off the mark. Whilst 2 years late, the 787 will be the future of air travel, mark my words.

[@JohnGhanem]

@bbland52616 it should be 562 MPH (489 Knots) in this case (Explanation Below) Technically, Mach Number is the ratio of the True Airspeed over the Local Speed of sound (LSS). LSS is 38.94 multiplied by the square root of the temperature at the altitude in Kelvin (273+ the temperature in celcius). At 40,000' the temperature would be assumed as the lowest in the troposphere at around 55 degrees Celcius, so by calculation we get the speed of sound as 574 Knots. Mach .85 would be 574 multiplied by 0.85, which gives us the airspeed of the plane to be 489 Kts or 562 MPH. Hope this helps

[@Bullerias]

Those wings, WOW

[@Flyermac]

ULTRA FANTASTIC VIDEO!!!!!!!!!! I am in love with this airplane!!!! Crazy no? But thankful for Boeing!

[@nathanhillaert]

I like this plane, its my favorite

[@03focussvt943]

Gorgeous bird.

[@pegasigirl2010]

Now that is a beautiful plane. I hope I get to fly on one some day.

[@alextw13jf]

Fascinating; beautiful machine; I love aircrafts, they represent one of the greatest human achievements,

[@XCHUSKYXC]

Awesome plane i love the wing flex!

[@NEAerial]

@platterhof The problem with joysticks is that one pilot can't tell what the other pilot is doing. There has been some argument that such visual feedback of the state of control inputs might have helped in the Air France tragedy.

[@labatt4life]

what an awesome plane!

[@anilpatel2790]

anil I learn more.I hope it's interesting I like it

[@denziiey]

Boeing is the pioneer of aircraft designing

[@moonscoasttocoast]

@39LFC It was "Welcome to Japan!"

[@cfg003]

Boeing 787 chiefpilot ! what a lucky guy !

[@pnwAero]

Didn't this plane come to Portland?

[@WelshWidgetMan2O1O]

@bbland52616, Mach one is 761.2 MPH. Therefore, mach .85 would be roughly 85% of mach 1, or about 646.4 miles per hour.

[@hotelgulf]

Beautiful. Boeing and the 787 future look bright!e

[@crapper1]

0:45 IM IN HEAVEN LOOK AT THE WINGFLEX :D awsome job

[@markoVTX]

Beautiful Aircraft.

[@1273seant]

@Boeing wa!!!!!!that is the most RADEST AIRPLANE EVER!!!!!!!!!!thanks for uploding it!!!!!!!!! my rate10|10

[@Tim_3100]

I got to see this over the derby (UK) RR Plant during its testing and celebration fly over the 1000 engines are built around the corner from me I will never forget seeing it like I did on that day it came over slow low that I could see the light reflection bounce off the paintwork as I it flew overhead and to see the wing flex in real life is something else absolutely first class aerodynamics and engineering.

[@JMsoo]

I consider both company excellent, but the 787 is the next step completely new conception can't wait to fly with

[@654321825]

when are you guys gonna release it?!!!! i wanna fly on board LOT's 787 already!

[@TheEMS41]

I was flying ANA for many times wonderful airline cool flight crew super service ! :-))) I was often flying there 744 or the 773ER I hope I can fly with one of 787 too :-))) God bless the aircraft and ANA ! greez Chris FDNY New York !

[@openminded23]

I'd love to fly on this plane!!!

[@barthoedemaker]

Even Airbus admitted it was a technical marvel.

[@frank2398]

Very beautiful plane.

[@YusukeShirogane]

I like the wing design

[@kentokyo]

I just fly from Seattle to Tokyo on ANA 's 787

[@QASIMARA]

really a beautiful plane.

[@DannyBoySmith1993]

@dint500 ANA already use 2 of these & yes, more are to be used in 2012 :)

[@TheBadameco]

I am a big fan of Airbus, but this planes is fantastic! love it

[@elhadjhamza1130]

Fantastic aircraft

[@VivaLaEmil1]

this was posted on my birthday :P

[@leostyle7771]

thats awesome..

[@Electrotract]

A superb airplane- i believe 800 plus orders and climbing

[@okflyer777]

Way to go Boeing! Work of art there. Airbus can't touch this.

[@albertcerrato2575]

Keep building them good boys

[@cnarvaez]

What a beauty!!!!!!

[@lukesee8706]

if the plane was level, the thrust from the engines would cause it to loose altitude, the slight pitch is just to maintain a proper altitude

[@OMGz1122]

from Seattle to Japan in only 9HRS???? damn thats fast!

[@cogswellpaul]

The 787 dreamliner does have inflight tv if not then some do because thomson airways, UK does

[@k0nn0r]

@averredude101 What do you mean "Smoke" ? Condensation or contrails are normal and are going to emenate from every engine burning hydrocarbon fuels no matter how efficient. During take-off, there can be some smoke because fuel flow into the combustion chamber increases as does overall mass flow and flow velocity. That means that you have to mix and burn more fuel in less time, which creates more rich pockets and unburnt hydrocarbons visible as smoke. That's normal even for modern engines

[@Himlagglol]

i made it into flight school I'll be flying this in 4-5 years!

[@luer0211]

Well mach varies greatly with humidity, pressure, temp etc... Maybe 1225 km/h is in standard atmosphere.

[@hzzlrp10]

@bluemini9 787 operators have the option of GE GENx or Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 power. Obviously ANA went with Roller power for their Dreamliners.

[@SamathPerera]

beautiful aircraft , boeing is the best !!!

[@cholomackdaddy]

Its so pretty

[@DeltaEagle7700]

I cannot wait to see it in Hawaii! When ANA makes its daily flights to Honolulu!

[@fxtrader7856]

"Welcome to Japan !!" say the man on 03:00 to the Boeing 787. Is fun to remember that also were two Boeing who dropped the bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki

[@gumbyshrimp2606]

Yet they learned from it and that is why they are able to have such a big economy and large influence on the world today.

[@rsattahip]

Sorry, but what's so fun about that? It was a tragic but arguably necessary event.

[@geolocate]

Awesome.

[@kingjames8283]

I must've gone to the wrong boarding gate and missed the plane. I thought the 787 was supposed to compete with the A-380 but clearly the A-380 can haul twice the payload. To me the 787 looks like a 767 so is this plane a replacement? Another thing I thought odd are the flexible wings. Are there any performance enhancements with a flexible wing structure over a more rigid wing as was common on former models? My preferred a/c is the B-717, it's like a cute Mercedes with wings.

[@ibanezbass671]

They did a flight test to from Japan to Guam las month in July =D

[@8mmoore1]

Awesome, simply awesome, I want to fly with you all one day, Michele.

[@uchilledfrance]

How come this beauty does not have winglets or wing fences? I was under the impression that all new planes were fitted with winglets/wing fences by default. Guess I was wrong after all...

[@Awesomeness6699]

Airbus is still good. They are both very good at making Jets and they do what they do, Take people places!

[@BoeingJetsProduction]

Wow that was awesome

[@scotishpopcorn]

what are you talking about. mach .85 is somewhere around 650-700 mph. They said that the flight took 8 and a half hours. Everybody knows that Japan is a really long ways from here, several thousand miles, so I don't know what you mean by a four minute flight.

[@N0616JCProductions]

I think this is also one of the first Trans-Pacific ETOPS for the plane.

[@767Dude]

Would I be wrong in saying that the first commercial flight of a new aircraft has mainly aircraft enhusiasts as passengers?

[@burreaucracy]

@airplanelov The yokes move together so that the Pilot Not Flying can see what the Pilot Flying is doing. The throttle still moves in A/T Mode so that the pilots have at least two indications (EICAS on the screen, and the throttles moving) of what the autopilot is doing. In FlybyWire, you can pull the yoke all the way back, but the A/P only lets the plane pitch 20 degrees up or whatever. You can idle the throttles but when you approach stall speed, they spool up to prevent a stall.

[@jbrian80]

@Scoshed Actually Airbus have fly by wire system, which is more automated than most of Boeing aircraft (except 777 and 787) some of the features on 787 are already implemented on Airbus aircraft. Boeing simply catching up with Airbus "technical edge".

[@crazehcakes]

As much as I love boeing I still don't like how this is going to end up replacing the beloved 747...*cries*

[@philwoods2255]

It isn't, the 777X 9 will maybe replace it though

[@philwoods2255]

Yes

[@capalotd5867]

+Páll Viðar Hafsteinsson

[@philwoods2255]

?

[@kesudtrebor2741]

+Derpy Mcherpsun Really sure it will not replace the 747...the 747 will be replaced with another 747 with better wings and power plants....

[@sarfarazbhai]

just love it......

[@EarthsBiggestBender]

@coolykid443 "ANA" stands for All Nippon Airlines, a major Japanese carrier. Not American Airlines or whatever you were thinking of.

[@alexanderwoods916]

I saw this very aircraft at Tucson AZ.

[@hdaircrafts]

Simply fantastic! Does anybody knows which brazilian companies will operate this plane?
