Boeing's Dreamliner takes flight

[seanandlizzie]

wow, whats its top speed? can it fly supersonic at the edge of space like concorde?

[nicktexel]

@seanandlizzie offcourse it can it has flux capacitor engines

[mkarren100]

When it's deliverd ?

[BandiKurt3636]

thumbs up if you hate it when people disable comments and likes/dislikes

[hotrod4you2]

boeing must build a super jumbo, airbus mostly built there super jumbo before the 2008 stock market fall making it easier to do,but boeing will lose big time if there not ready for next gen body and that must a a ( full double decker ) 550+ comfortably thats better that the a380. why, you know why, because airbus will be adding some updated a380 soon.boeing has lost much more than than just orders! and w/ all the delays on other boeings plans is not hopeful

[dezaldey]

omg i love those flexible wings

[RainDrops054]

Boing only... Made In USA ...that's enough

[SR111ify]

@RainDrops054 its boeing not boing!

[RainDrops054]

@SR111ify sorry it's copy mistake ...thanks :)

[captainsmartass123]

im so bummed boeing is behind airbus, fucking french :-P

[TheGround2ground]

the 787's wings can take the weight of another full 787 and still take off at 165.

[jurycom]

At 6y298 = The EU subsidizes the sales price of Airbus. Your crap don't sell, dummy. :)

[alexxero099]

Thumbs up for Boeing

[alexxero099]

Thumbs up for Airbus

[barticus04]

"Made mostly of composite materials" That means if you survive the crash, you will be breathing in Composite fibre's, so you will die from lung problems later on . I am a firefighter with Aviation Rescue fire fighting and we now carry the solution to this problem....Floor Polish!!!

[hawk0920]

coolest wings in the aviation world

[GirlsGeneration121]

LOL is that RR??? why not GE??? Hope RR will maintain that aircraft from the bottom their heart.... ^_=

[TheHedgehogPilot]

boeing is the leading aviation manufacturer. boeing also made a moon buugy, some major elements of space station and is the right hand of NASA. This is the truth. Airbus has just stepped in aviation industry and made some descent airplanes which gained a large amount of success over a decade but as per me boeing is still the best.

[skg1984]

A350 is coming .... 2013

[jakfuki]

Airbus and Boeing make great planes. I don't see anyone else competing with them. The only reason Airbus has been succeeding is due to the fact that they have come out with more new products in a shorter span of time than Boeing. It just takes Boeing too long to introduce new planes. My preference is still Boeing. No offense, but Airbus isn't as highly recognized a name as Boeing is. Airbus sounds like a name a 2nd grader came up with. Ironically, they're both German companies.

[jakfuki]

@jakfuki Well, one is German-American founded.

[rahmanroni]

You losers are starting a flame-war over airplane manufacturers????????? wow, you people need lives.

[saveltoros]

@rahmanroni You're scolding people over the internet? @_@

[myplanet999]

very ugly THIS AIRPLANE SUCK

[786Ykhan]

A380 is better

[777jackpotter]

beautiful plane!

[GHOXTZX]

engines so big XD

[volker001]

A serious in-flight fire in the electrical-equipment bay of a Boeing 787 Dreamliner flight-test plane forced an emergency landing in Laredo, Texas......

[vietman90210]

over 800 orders?!?! WOW

[peterFans]

@vietman90210 and finally they moved the first delivery date to next year due to technical problems, now their can't keep up with 800 orders (same with A380)

[vietman90210]

@peterFans how many orders for a380? what about a350...787 competetor?

[peterFans]

@vietman90210 i have no data with that... the only i know is Boeing and Airbus can't barely keep with their delivery date...

[volker001]

...another 10 months delay for Boeing's nightmare-liner... several companies canceled their orders and are suing Boeing for the delay... no more sales since early this year.... good look with this "platic-bomber"... - Airbus is up and away :-)

[xx0xMADDOGx0xx]

U said it bro

[ffuuuucccckk]

Airbus and Boeing are both amazing 4 me. :D

Aircrafts are just incredible!

[Peacefulhumanbeing]

@ffuuuucccckk Great comment. Internet is full idiots who bias everything based on what they like. US rules, EU rules. They both make quality shit...

[rcsupercubbuilder]

In the end, Boeing will always be better!

All Hail Boeing!

[in12233]

@flywithjacob

the french copy everything.

even the concord which was british..was copied by them.

[JayChouFanatic]

AirBus is French. Ew.

[blablubb12345]

@JayChouFanatic

Ah, no! Airbus was basically founded by "deutsche Airbus GmbH", Aerospatiale and BAe. Now, its completely owned by EADS.

[leogeeko]

It´s an awesome aircraft. But I still dont understand why for 50 to 60 years, the engine technology and fuel source of aircrafts are still the same.

[cirai2tna]

What a beutiful aeroplane!

[dealerovski82]

what is next, 797 ?

[drrb20]

@dealerovski82 yup

[elalamedagto]

As long as union workers control Boeing,Airbus will continue to be ahead of the industry. Because they only care for what they want. Just like the car industry that was tanked by poor quality and the union demands. Poeple fly with airlines they trust and lately I have only see Airbuses. Recently I flew on a new airline and their new fleet is from Airbus. Finally for the union workers,make Boeing the #1 and then claim your demands.

[TheGimpMaster01]

@elalamedagto All I have to say to such a succinct comment is, "Well said!" I agree, the unions cause innumerable problems, and the government is doing everything it can to support the unions, therefore subverting fabulous companies like Boeing.

[elalamedagto]

@TheGimpMaster01 I agreed with you that half our Government supports unions and the other half supports rich corporations. Unions only care in the protection of their members and rich corporations care in making billions of dollars by moving to China.

[cantescape1987]

Looks really nice.

[f5tornadochaser]

Boeing has made great aircrafts special 757 747 777 and 787 but Airbus also a 330/340 and a380..Boeing aircrafts are more solid but Airbus is more female builded see the belly she has always a belly but boeing looks more impressive

[flywithjacob]

@mjcuracao

I posted this comment without thinking. I did some more research. You're all right. It is competition, not copying. And you have to copy somethings, or else everyone would crash and die. Thank you for making me realize that!!! Airbus is just as equal as Boeing!!!

[mjcuracao]

So clearly the CEO states to bring a difference to the airline industry!

To do EXACTLY what AIRBUS has been doing for the last 20 years!

More fuel economy, better comfort and design!

WOW!

But I love the 787, and this will get AIRBUS going ahead, on the smaller

jets again.

[mjcuracao]

@flywithjacob

Are you for real?

Competition is good, and the only things that are copied.

Are copied, because, it makes planes safer.

So YOU do not crash and die!

[AirMorgan88]

@flywithjacob Boeing is the copycat! Airbus was the first to use composite materials (like 20 years go).

[mjcuracao]

@AirMorgan88

Yep!

Anti fail systems, backup systems etc etc.

Better cockpit and interior design.

More fuel efficient!

Now America and Boeing have seen this for te last 20 years!!!!!

Now? A great plane, BUT DO NOT CALL AIRBUS A COPYCAT.

That is cheap, and stupid!

Like a woman complaining about, actually nothing important!!

[sledback1]

Boeing make aircraft that you have to fly Airbus trains the pilots to do nothing the computer does everything besides the Airbus sucks to work on ITS ALL METRIC !!!

[AVIATIO]

American aviation is the best, Europe can go suck a dick!

[apersonwhoisamember]

@flywithjacob it's called competition.

Boeing wants to go first in everything

Airbus wants to take their time and ensure that their design is good

[LianzThe1337]

@flywithjacob Lol...747 came out good 15 years before a380 dumbass.

[kathen111]

@flywithjacob 747 & a380 are nothing alike!

[gonzalojosevb]

Why didn't they retract the gears?

[an225gd]

@gonzalojosevb its part of the maiden flight test. they retracted them later in the flight

[aval1998]

i wonder if boeing factory does tours!!!!cause i want a tour!! :D

[Vinnieangel1969]

Boeing forever man... They build the most beautiful planes. I'm a proud American of our aviation pioneers. Sikorsky, Bell, Douglas, lockheed, Boeing. I hope I'm not forgetting any! I've always loved our American planes. Give me a ride on a 747 anytime, over any other tin can in the sky. I'll be upstairs in the casino!

[EmperorOfMars]

Airbus "lets make a bigger plane!"

Boeing "lets make a flying sex machine!'

[TheMarkOfTheBeast1]

@EmperorOfMars

Boeing: "Let's abandon our Sonic Cruiser plane for something useless like this - oh, and let's also delay it while we're at it!"

Airbus: "Let's make a bigger, and more fuel efficient version that will kill both the 787 and the 777".

[EmperorOfMars]

@TheMarkOfTheBeast1

Boeing: Fuel guzzler or sex machine? sex machine...

AirBus: Hey lets make some awesome space rockets. Oh wait, we don't do that...

[TheMarkOfTheBeast1]

@EmperorOfMars

Boeing: "Looks are more important than performance".

Airbus: "Let's show the Americans how it's done! Enter the A350!"

[EmperorOfMars]

@TheMarkOfTheBeast1 You can't say shizz on Boeing rockets.

[TheMarkOfTheBeast1]

@EmperorOfMars

Screw Boeing rockets. Airbus is 100% committed to aviation only.

[EmperorOfMars]

@TheMarkOfTheBeast1 So is Boeing, its rocket division is 100% dedicated to rockets. You know, making the biggest plane really makes me questions someones manhood.

[TheMarkOfTheBeast1]

@EmperorOfMars

Making a "sexy looking" plane really makes me question someone's sanity.

[EmperorOfMars]

@TheMarkOfTheBeast1 lol, I'll leave it at that.

[TheMarkOfTheBeast1]

@EmperorOfMars

Pilotboy ---

Did you recently watch an R-rated movie on HBO, where you acquired some new cuss words??? Wow, you filthy mouthed tattooed blue collar dreg. We're impressed.

Show us all some more of that imbicile adolescent vocabulary and your retarded intellect.

Rrrrufff, rrrrrruffff!!! Ooooh, a scary barking dog! I'm soooooo afraid!!

I LOVE YOU!!!!

Hhhaaa ja ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pilotman1009]

airbus can suck my dick ! ITS ALL ABOUT BOEING MO-FO!

[starbreez3]

@flywithjacob Yes, but yet, they make it much better than Boing.

European technology, sorry.

[muhatashim]

Wooo yeaaaa woooo wtf? BOOM!

[king2042]

Powered By Rolls-Royce Trents....!!!! Well done Derby !!!

[Fallonflying]

People are complaining about the two year delay, I'd like to see you build that beauty.

[Devoted2TRANCE]

behind airbus bitches you heard that right yank fags!

oh wait how come all of "boeing's" engineers have a strong english, french, or german accent??

why is that?.... hmmmm I don't know....maybe they are german, english and french!!!! fat fag yanks!

[goodfella21f]

America's 787>Europe's Fatbus

[Fallonflying]

People are complaining about the two year delay....I'd like to see you build that beauty.

[6y298]

It's almost sadly comical to see Boeing fanboys (I like both) wringing their hands in denial regarding Airbus. They just can't STAND that Boeing has not been the one and only leading manufacturer for more than a decade, and has in fact been regularly beaten by Airbus year on year - that's a FACT. Crap don't sell for long boys, wake up.

[12WDH12]

@6y298 cool story bro

[WiiForever302]

@6y298 *Coughs* A380 is an evolution of 747B.... *Coughs* Thers nothing revolutionary about A380, just a large plane. The 737 is operated by 500 airlines, and more than 8,000 aircraft made. Were not comical, we speak the truth

[FutureMarine246]

@6y298 crap dont sell for long? haha i hope your realize that half of airbus planes that were sold dont fly anymore. over 80 percent of boeing planes that were made still fly

[6y298]

@FutureMarine246 1. Abject nonsense - period. 2. You don't understand my point anyway, let alone the gaping holes in your own assertions. 'Fan'aticism blinds people to reality, in music, aviation, anything.

[figure261]

@6y298 realy i always thought boeing was leading airplane manufacturing...? oh well well good for both companys:)

[6y298]

@figure261 My sentiments exactly - both companies make stellar products, no one is unquestionably better than the other. I'm just saying that it is to Airbus' credit that they have arisen to stand toe to toe with the legendary Boeing monopoly. If only fanboys would realize that stiff competition is a good thing.

[AVIATIO]

@6y298

Boeing products are 'crap' ? 

I think rather that your mind is full of crap....

[Peacekeeper2403]

@AVIATIO Don't forget what most people associate with what makes an airplane belong to the company (Boeing, Airbus, etc.) Isn't what the company designed and made. For example, the avionics on the airplane are not Boeing made. They can be from Garmin, or Bendix/King, etc. The engines aren't made by Boeing, these particular ones are made by General Electric. So while people may say Boeing this or Airbus that, most of what they mean is from another company anyways being used by Airbus or Boeing.

[AVIATIO]

@Peacekeeper2403

That is true.

[Peacekeeper2403]

@6y298 That's not fair Boeing isn't crap. It's latest aircraft prior to the 787 is the 777 a 1994 plane, Airbus recent release was the 2005 A380 2 years earlier then the 787. They are both great planes and only Boeing has claim, out of Airbus and Boeing, of the oldest in use aircraft in the business. So even so the Boeing company works both civilian, military, and space projects for decades, and Airbus is new to the industry, their competitive vehicles are all top dollar machines.

[6y298]

@Peacekeeper2403 Not saying Boeing is crap!!!! Far from it! I'm saying that Airbus sales year on year proves AIRBUS isn't crap, or they would have failed years ago. It's Boeing-only fanboys that constantly claim Airbus is crap - this is nonsense because crappy products don't sell - get it?

[Peacekeeper2403]

@6y298 Oh I understand you, but we need to be fair with the way the market works too. A Crappy product can out sell by a margin of 1,000% a very VERY good product. It's very easy to do it too. All you have to do is start a really pretty marketing campaign and you will have everyone eating your words. It's the reason for all the ads and commercials, they are there to over glorify a product to the consumers. By providing the world with your name, you expect to use that name. Not to insult Airbus.

[Peacekeeper2403]

@6y298 So sales alone don't mean it's a better product. Plus like Intel did against AMD they may be offering better deals under the table to airline companies to push their product. The most likely case is what you say, but we can't use their sales quantity as a basis of the quality of the aircraft itself. It's simple, Airbus is producing what the market wants... but not necessarily better. Boeing works the same which is why I Like them both. I just hope you all understand that difference.

[6y298]

@Peacekeeper2403 You're correct of course, business is business, but of course I'm thinking way beyond sales. At some point a product line must stand on it's own, it MUST perform, especially in an area like commercial aviation. So all I'm saying is that beyond sales hype, deals etc - BOTH companies make solid, safe profit making airplanes, thus fanboys of either stripe are just plain idiotic.

[Peacekeeper2403]

@6y298 That is correct. Beyond the sales and marketing hype from both ends the aircraft from both sides look different may have different components and may even handle a little different but it doesn't change the fact the both do the same job and they both do it with greatness. Doesn't matter which way you look at it they both take millions of people across thousands of miles safely. Great planes from great companies.

[JCKCPA]

@6y298 Did it take 20 countries with the help of Americans and the 20 Countries Governments and American parts to compete? Wake up? Oh uh do you want the defense contracts. How about we show you where our

vault of money is...... Do you need help making an Electric Car? Raw Talent is everywhere. But it comes more predominately from one place. The US.

[6y298]

@JCKCPA Like I said originally - sadly comical. I'll TELL you where your vault of money is - CHINA! And oh yeah, I guess all the electronics etc in a modern Boeing aircraft are what - grown in Seattle??!! Talent? Go check out how much is imported by US tech firms due to the growing lack of suitably qualified US graduates. So yes - wake up and smell the noodles, the curry etc etc lol

[JCKCPA]

@JCKCPA That is what the headlines say. The US is lacking i graduates and falling behind in

math and science. But the US was the only countrty to land and walk on the moon. GM did the tracking for this.

The car company that invented the steering wheel. Does the light bulb go off in your head. They did that too.

I am not sure what point you are making. But the most nobel prizes and international patents only go so far and there are problems outside of Boeing.

[aerexenn]

@6y298 well, time change things. don't be so confident

[g17y5wb]

Noob !

[jonzxcv]

@flywithjacob 787 was manufactured by Boeing

[Stoganof]

@jonzxcv Noooo shiet x3

[pinkdelyt]

Airbus is not a copier, they were building the A380 for 18 years.

[IMediaCorp]

Baloney!! Boeing products have been Airbus' benchmark(s) since the A300!! sure they make great jets like the 330/340 but leader?? nah

[g17y5wb]

You two need to find a date so you can stop sitting in front of your computers in your underwear and waxing prophetically about arcane environmental crap. You might try shaving and showering, too.

[g17y5wb]

Boeing versus Airbus, blah blah blah. How a given airline configures and operates any particular aircraft influences my flying experience more than B vs. A.

And it sucks the big wad when some 175 Kg obese pig invades my space with their lard, regardless of airline or manufacturer.

So stop your pointless bickering.

Why don't we bicker about this: Blondes or brunettes???

[IMediaCorp]

@g17y5wb ..yeah lets talk about that I myself go for brunettes--they are way smarter! :D

[airplanefreak234556]

behind airbus? WTF

[BobbyJEL101]

not to be a fanboy or anything but when airbus's planes takeoff they shake violently on take-off unlike boeing, every boeing i've been on has been a smooth takeoff

[Giardintek]

What's up with the "behind Airbus crap? As far as I know Boeing is still #1 commercial plane maker.

[BSSVK]

Boeing 4-ever!! :-)

[Superiorpakfan]

@flywithjacob Airbus is a step ahead of boeing airbus does not copy! Airbus will always have more better features that boeing could never think of boeings arrogant thinking they will bring a new product out more "powerful" still nothing by much difference really. Européan product are always better quality than american for example cars. better equipment, better safety feature & less fuel consumption!

[BobbyJEL101]

@Superiorpakfan shut-up fan-boy. have you even been on a Boeing airliner? for all we know you are just an 11 year old kid that only likes airbus because it's "European" that doesn't have anything to do with it! look at the US's navy! could kick anyones ass in the world and it's not European (no offence to any other European people out there just trying to prove a point to this little brat)

[Superiorpakfan]

@BobbyJEL101 Well your typical arrogant american! Obviously you would take Boeings side because its American! Im only 6years younger than you! I have been on Boeing few times and not a fan!

[thefarmfun]

@Superiorpakfan No matter what you say in all these lame posts you have made it wont change the fact that people are diffrent from each other and will prefer diffrent types of things. I can see from you posts that your are 11 but judging from them you act like your 6. As you said your self this is "quote" typical "quote" kids behavior. I also dont like airbus but that dosent mean i flame them who do like you have done. And just to let you know. Im European!

[Superiorpakfan]

@thefarmfun Right so what your saying is its "best" to not explain why we dislike products? I mean there is always a reason to dislike things and yes sure my post may be lame but some people need to know. Some do not open there mind to things i mean i see comments (Airbus are shit) id like an explanation thats who i am.

Sure everyone has differences on what they like and im sorry for commenting looks childish im giving a reason. i mean YT has comments for reason right?

[thefarmfun]

@Superiorpakfan Its always ok to ask people why they prefer 1 for another but directly flaming them is a no go.

[peanuts2105]

@BobbyJEL101 you shut up you dick head. You're forgetting this aircraft is powered by by British built Rolls Royce engine which is European.

Also, the American Navy was invented by the British, just like the American national anthem, and the name 'America' and to finish, the Stars and Stripes flag.

So stop chucking your obese lazy yank arse everywhere and be respectful. Its pricks like you give America a bad name in the world.

[OSTARAEB4]

@peanuts2105 LOL-I suppose you'll next say the British "invented" Hollywood, The U.S. Capitol building and The White House, but you can take claim to burning them! I agree that our "lazy yank arses" SHOULD NOT GET INVOLVED in world conflicts and stay at home. Perhaps we should've done that in the late 1930's and early 1940's. It's pratts like you that give Britain a bad name in the world. VERSTEHEN?

[keirfree]

@OSTARAEB4 Actually the make up of the 787 Engines 25% flight avionics30% are Brit made you do the sums ! also the new Presidential Heli will be a joint Boeing/ BAE venture. just as the F35 is and the F22 oh may as well tell you ! as I am typing,,,,,,

51% of all USA weapon systems is brit made, try looking up BAE Systems N A Division

[antbiggy84]

@OSTARAEB4 you idiot yanks didnt get involved in the late 30's you only got involved once pearl harbour had been hit.... selfish really. and typically thick. so american.

[hinnong]

@OSTARAEB4 bah you guys dont know a thing. I invented America so i am so much smarter than all of you.

[lcmortensen]

@flywithjacob The 767 copied the A300, and the 737NG copied the A320!

Besides, they're not exact copies.

[thefarmfun]

Behind Airbus WTF!

Boeing arrive on time, Airbus crash on the center line.

[TOLGItolg]

The people think thad Airbus a380 is a revulution, but it isn´t they have only copy the 747. The 747 was a revulution. The dreamliner is very environment frindly and faster than a 737. I Love this plane :-) Airbus is not bad but Boeing is the Winner ! :-P

[kingdong001]

love that they use rolls royce engines, great british engineering at work :)

[cagnin3]

GO BOEINGGGGGG

[hanabi77]

beautiful thing beautiful!!

[wtbap26]

A350xwb has really nice looking winglets!

[robertsmelt]

That they are currently behind Airbus is a fact, like it or not. Truth is Boeing and Airbus planes have huge parts of them made in same factories and the suppliers are so interlinked that there would be a meltdown if either company failed.

[ronny4ever123]

And yeah I agree with everyone else, since when was airbus #1?

[ronny4ever123]

I cant wait to fly on this!!!! :)

[jackdaniels195]

def. not behind airbus in anything they build. false reporting by reuters once again.

[mugsylol]

I say that boeing is alot better than airbus

[no565]

IT LOOK SO GOOD!

[ApSykesThewolf]

if i was working for boeing, i'd cheer like that ^^ x3

[MikeTorre357]

boeing with a rolls royce engine?? ok

[bobjoe117]

exactly what i was thinking, considering they were talking about sole-sourcing it to GE. whatever, if RR is giving them money for it GE probably doesn't care

[barthoedemaker]

That will bring back the magic of flight to the general public. Way to go Boeing!

[dromemaster7]

hmm i thought it was going to be huge. i gusse i just didnt get enough info

[aromchuen]

@dromemaster7 Boeing decided to battle Airbus the "economical" way.

[ruiaguiar66]

Muito bom.

[PistolPete2]

Maybe I am a dumbfuck but tails still fall off Airbusses. P.S. The Denver Broncos suck!

[ronny4ever123]

@whitireia yes, whith the aid of hijackers though.

[ns81]

Number two? eff Airbus.  Flying shit spiggots.

[maogwam]

MMMMM Rolls Royce engines enough said

[PistolPete2]

Those Air Buses are okay but the tails fall off.

[denverbroncosrock07]

@PistolPete2, you really are a dumbfuck

[llHyRaXll]

ol thatss gay

[Macky91SWE]

OMG 840 orders lol thats a loooooot of money

[WmataRailFan]

hahahahaha its behind airbus lol Go Airbus

[F1lover1977]

Certainly not .. Long range & low fuel consumption are a killer combo.

This is a good plane i feel .

But I am a bit concerned abt Boeing shabby interiors compared to Airbuses luxurious ones.

Anyway this thing will rule the skies for Cargo Ops at least.

[flanksteak1]

@F1lover1977

Interior finish is dictated by the purchaser, not Boeing.

[flyingfiddler576]

Airbus sucks!!! this from a pilot BTW
