Pilots push Boeing 787s to the limit

[@Sethemiah]

30 knot winds arent exactly something to just gloss over. that takes quite a bit of skill and talent. that guy deserves a lot more credit than what he got in this tiny video!

[@CoolPixx23]

The 787 Dreamliner is an awesome aircraft...

[@trabbin8]

Gooberwalla ...discounted perhaps, but selling...unlike the A380 greyhound-of-the-skies.

[@vbscript2]

Gooberwalla There are 825 open orders for 787s... I don't think they're having too much trouble selling them. A330 has 1,352 total orders with delivery beginning in 1993. 787 has 1,072 total orders with beginning in 2011. There are currently more open orders for 787s than for 777s, which is pretty amazing considering how successful the 777 has been.

That crab landing was amazingly well done :o

[@rickmg2552]

5 seconds in and the narrator says 'flying head on into severe crosswinds'? I don't think he understands the concept of CROSS winds.

[@Difixed]

ik

[@johncronauer108]

+Rick “Cre8tv” MG I took it to mean simply encountering a direct crosswind

[@mro-aviation]

Enjoyed the way the do the Crosswind landing. LOL. :D

[@Norwegian733]

2:32 What a nice and smooth landing. After the rear wheels are down, they turn the plane perfect in line before the front wheel touch the ground. Thumbs up!

[@Eclipse-lw4vf]

it's mad seeing something that huge just moving sideways just from wind lol and how that is normal

[@benlee2765]

how do you fly head on into cross wind?

[@TrickyEgg]

I fell asleep watching game grumps and got here

[@billkratzer1]

so where is the test data? what are the limits of this awesome aircraft? what should I know when I need to assume control in an emergency ?

[@KarthikNakul]

one day , one day am gonna be a Boeing test pilot :)

[@IIsierra116II]

@CaptainKorhonen I dont think so... when they test the challenger 601 for stall recovery, both bombardier's test pilots died because that plane cannot recover from a stall. after that they reinforce the stall warning systems to not let this happen again.

[@bigmaxy07]

That crabbing is just pure high skill. Very nice.

[@StonedCatmp3]

this is so scary how can they try all this lol. so much skill.

[@jkyet]

@3nasacova Wrong, he never said the wind is coming at you head on. he said the cross wind is. I would interpret "head on cross-wind" as having a direction of motion completely perpendicular to the direction of the wind.

[@TheWellMindedMe]

They pull the switch backwards to test a rejected takeoff, or a takeoff that has 1 or more flaw which causes the aircraft to be unable to takeoff. Rotate means to lift the nose up for takeoff, they say rotate cause of the planes vertical axis is slightly tipping up.

[@MihaSinkovec1981]

Love the wingflex on Dreamliners! :P

[@JonathanCZH]

@pacificbound67 Thanks for bringing that up. I never knew about it.

[@ArchStar9]

Beautifully designed but slow to awake. It sure took it's time to show it's full capability, but as the saying goes; good things take time.

[@Avilator189]

Carbon fiber and plastic are two completely different classes of materials. You can have fiber-reinforced plastic, but that's still a combination of two families of materials.

[@desertmulehunter]

Datum, those pilots huh? Awesome, pure poetry!

[@chicken2378]

Kids in Africa could have drank that water

[@markdoldon8852]

the water wasn't in Africa, nor is it likely to be potable. the world has no shortage of water, it only has local shortages of potable water.

[@DeltaFoxtrotWhiskey3]

If they're flying "head on" into the wind, how is it a cross wind? :P

[@simonjesuit3844]

First time I actually saw how 'crabbing' was supposed to look when done right!

[@masonm1124]

GOOD GIRL! Now let's take the craziest roller coaster around

[@tlself011]

As an instructor pilot on the B787, I've flown it with 30 knots crosswind in the simulator and it flies very well. Most airplanes require the crab be corrected prior to touchdown but the 787 can actually land with a crab....it will straighten itself out on landing but other aircraft require the aircraft to be slipped in....one wing lowered into the wind and rudder pedal opposite....normal crosswind landing techniques....

[@SandraDawson]

Awesome aircraft.

head onto fierce crosswinds???

[@69harris]

Thomas Rivers I was thinking that!

[@thee_jetsetter208]

if it ain't Boeing, I ain't going.

[@grgbstankichannel5384]

0:42 please tell me were to find that plane model

[@noonedude101]

@pacificbound67 Wasn't the company president's last order to the Boeing 777 test pilot NOT to do that?

[@Seekay_]

@210482fmj I believe the planes used for testing have emergency escape hatches in case something goes wrong.

[@lsswapsupra]

Wow.I have that lego thing and it's my birth date number xD I didn't realize that it was very strong.

[@davdaninja]

@3nasacova well think about it what if your going north and the wind is coming from the northwest wouldnt that mean that the wind is coming from in front and from the side? would that mean your heading into a crosswind?

[@ramson88]

"Flying head on into fierce cross winds" pretty sure that's an oxymoron.

[@fsxb757]

Is that a Singapore Airlines tag in the office?

[@benroberts8949]

When's the Boeing 797 coming 😂

[@carbonheliumnitrogen7369]

What is the object under the fuselage that actually touched the ground in the VMU? (1:14)

[@kylecampbell1444]

Usually a chunk of Oak wood. Used as a to absorb the impact.

[@bryceking2202]

I think probaly like a tail skid kinda use

[@sppdenver]

coool vid, thanks! i really like this channel, does not seem to have the verry annoying ads! lol coool ; )

[@firefightergoggie]

God - 747-8, and 787! Boeing is really advancing. Fantastic planes. I love them.

[@IxUNTOUCHBLExI]

You have to point the aircrafts nose when your landing towards the wind so the body of the aircraft can line up with the run way. at the very last few seconds you quickly turn the body of the aircraft so the nose points with the runway. Google up crabbing an aircraft.

[@davidfleming7857]

Let's all go for a ride.

[@simonjesuit3844]

+David Fleming YES! NOW!!!

[@shaunsprogress]

"Flying head-on into fierce crosswinds"... bit of an oxymoron.

[@DVA7498]

Your pitching or "rotating" the airplane on the longitudinal axis.

[@ankitpsk]

@oisiaa Its not a recommendation, you actually have to land in a crab like that. If you fly straight, without the crab to compensate for the crosswind, then your airplane will drift off the center-line.

[@raidzor5452]

Checkmate Airbus!

[@sousuke121]

Thing is that is if you mass produce anything, your going to get issues no matter what your producing, the Trent 900 was certainly a massive problem in which will make RR Engines safer in the future. RR Aren't going to make the same mistake twice! I love both Airbus aircraft and Boeing as I am fascinated by jets in general.

[@Varasalvi2]

It is a kind of plastic, yes. There any many types of carbon fiber, some can withstand heavy temperature, although i wouldn´t recommend inhaling the smoke from it :)

[@aarontull1907]

have you ever noticed that airbus fans always say that airbus is better and they can't come up with one reason why?

[@DrPlatypus1]

I absolutely love this plane!

[@coldshot12]

why when u reach take off speed they say rotate ,is like u push control stich backward ,whats rotating here??

[@HittokiriBatosai]

@IIsierra116II Challenger 600 is a T-tail plane, it can recover from regular stalls but from from a "deep stall" where the wings block the slipstream from going over the horizontal stabilizer, rendering the elevators useless. The test pilot died but the other crew member, a flight engineer, parachuted to safety. Test crew are equipped with parachutes, but there's no special hatches or ejection seats. If you're lucky enough to evacuate the plane, great. Otherwise... yeah. The end.

[@Goproflying]

@skillerboy3 Why the dreamliner?

[@MyRandomCommentsXD]

Test request: both pilots have been killed by terrorists, then the passengers somehow manage to kill the terrorists. Now they are out of pilots and have to select an average dude who has no pilot experience to land the aircraft. How easy is the 787 to operate when you have no flight knowledge?

[@jackdoyle8716]

If it was the a320 you would be sweet.

The extended wingtip act just the same as winglets....

[@JerryG1815]

Do you ever do a 1G roll like they did in the 707?

[@Triple777ER]

So if you find out you're going on an Airbus, are you going to cancel your flight?

[@97HKG]

@familyguyruification no All Nippon Airways

[@donepearce]

Head-on into a fierce crosswind? How TF do you do that?

[@Musterhund]

this aircraft has no winglets. Why?

[@ryanhaart]

Nothing to do with the airplane design. It's how the airlines ask the seats to be configured. Which will always be packed in like sardines.

[@lolpo555]

because of its wing design

[@undertake782]

Do they do this on a full load...?

[@Poyekali]

0:42 take a look at the photo at the back of the desk the photo shows a rumored 797.....!!!!!

[@FireFiveStar]

you see the same design on the new 747-8 aswell

[@evilassaultweaponeer]

It is not plastic, it is carbon, like graphite.

[@58biggles]

You may 'like' to blame Airbus BUT the fact remains it was NOT Airbus's fault.

[@weaponx725]

the new wing design of the Boeing 787 has an upward curve on the wingtips that acts similarly to winglets

[@TheXdog5]

surely the underpowered issue would be the GE engines.

[@shotgunmoose]

I've always wondered, what is the drogue you have installed on the tail? I see it show up in so many videos of aircraft tests, yet have never found any information on it.

[@oisiaa]

Do they actually recommend landing in a crab like that?

[@Jason198261]

It doesn't seem that the 787 is much larger than the 777?

[@jacquesloubser5609]

Airbus was doing the same test for about 5 seconds longer on the A350 ... Pilot or plain limitation? or maybe the xtra 2% in carbon fiber body weight?

[@harfri]

Why doesnt this 787 have winglets?

[@TheArfdog]

Amazing

[@aussiepaul44]

Time will tell. Boeing has been in business for almost 100 years. They've developed and pioneered technologies in aviation and manufacturing that have allowed other manufactures to build safe quality aircraft. Boeing was the market leader in civil aviation for years. When Airbus has been around for 100 years then we'll know if they're 'better'

[@jbrian80]

I boarded both A340 and 777, I don't remember getting drown with the engine noise from 777. The noise levels varies where you seated.

[@klesmer]

If it ain't Boeing I ain't going.

[@priscillaburrows1712]

[@pablocheleonsarmiento2875]

I wonder if they pushed the batteries or cockpit windows to the limit.... :/

[@evilassaultweaponeer]

Carbon fiber is, as its name implies, carbon (like graphite). I happen to work with the stuff regularly in a structural fire testing facility (we test concrete beams reinforced with carbon fiber instead of steel in a very large furnace). In a fire, you can expect carbon fiber to burn eventually, but I'm sure Boeing has made it highly fire resistant in the 787, and you must remember that aluminum melts at fairly low temperatures anyway.

[@bad71hd]

[@ednagettobed]

Absolutely beautiful plane, please engineer it so it does not pack passengers in like sardines.

[@carlt0nsharple]

They should test the plane with fake passengers.

[@Delnieh]

They test it with different weights

[@kylecampbell1444]

They even test them over weight to prove it can handle it and to give the crew some era room.

[@openminded23]

I love this plane!!!

[@ztunelover]

Wingtips aren't so much for drag reduction, as reducing wingtip vortices and improve lift efficiency of the wing.

[@99MrRock]

The 777 is still larger, yes.

[@lffit]

isn't carbon fibre a kind of plastic? In a fire what happens? Just sayin'
