On a cloudy rainy Seattle morning the fabulous Boeing 787 Dreamliner finally jumped into the air on its maiden flight. TheAutoChannel.com has the complete story with a bunch of video.

Most passenger planes use composites(Airbus), just not the critical parts. One of the 787’s delays was due to wings/fuselage joint point problems. Me, I would wait for others to risk their lives while testing this plastic plane.
“OMG Miley Cyruss h@s a secks tape! JUST ReLeASeD WowMiley. c,o,m!~
the only down side is it wont get its ETOPS cert for at least a year after flying domestic routs in japan
they cant fit next to each other lol.
Is that the A380 flying next to it? haha
Love those T-33s get that airliner out of the way.
1) It’s not plastic
2) I assume you’re basing this assertion on all the data from the countless passenger planes prior to this which have been composed of the same material….that would be zero….
a380 check
a400 check
a350 soon
to me it looks like the discontinued 757
787 check
350 still not check
Plastic planes break real easy. Good luck.
It’s amazing- the more an aircraft looks like a bird in flight the more efficient it is.

I agree with you, I live in poland and it polish govarnamet makes wrong, buy aircraft from U.S.A
Pretty plastic plane.
The 787 took so long to produce. Was this from the composite issues or the wireless point of view. I was in Singapore at their 1st airshow and 787 was the big deal. Then all I heard was delay delay and orders dropping You may not know People say it is a mock up of 777 and that is so not true.
is it avaible on Flight Simulator X it will be very cool…

Well that’s not good.
All the money that is given to Poland comes from countries such as France and Germany = NOT the U.S
If Poland keeps buying goods from the U.S over goods from France and Germany, their economy will fade and it’s clear that Poland won’t get any “Free money” from the E.U
Take a look at countries such as Spain and Ireland.
They received a lot of money from the E.U too but the day it stopped, they did get in BIG trouble.
That might happen to Poland too.
this is a carefully take off , is there any differences between this plane and the B777 ?
Boeing for life.
It may look similar, but is nothing like either of those aircraft.
Better late than never.
My favorite aircraft is always the one they pay me to fly. I like both Airbus and Boeing as well as GE and Rolls Royce. However, I prefer the philosophy at Airbus and Rolls Royce which is to have a family of aircraft and a family of large turbofans. It makes good business sense.
Boeing and Airbus are both embracing composite technology. Fleet managers are concerned with operational dispatchability rates on aircraft. Airlines from around the world share information on aircraft operational issues. It’s not uncommon for airlines to have dispatchability rates above 99% for both types. Of course, many factors can affect this. Many people are concerned with the “who’s best” question. The fact is both are world class products in a market that’s big enough for both.
very overrated. just similar to a 777 or the airbus A350.
airbus A380 took my notice.
this is just a greasy hamburger.
@alRB211 You’re a pilot? That’s awesome! I want to be one. As a pilot, what is your favorite plane to fly? And do you prefer Airbus or Boeing?
