Boeing 787 First Flight.m4v

[jaz39]

no!not the APU!i know about the APU.on 0:56 you can see a like small black dot rotating on the tip of the vertical fin or rudder. I usually see this thing on test flights.

[hogey74]

Yeah there often seems to be a little parachute on a length of rope - maybe to monitor the air movement over the tail surfaces? I would not be surprised if they have a camera recording its motion during the flight. I have seen it on other test aircraft too.

[matupas19]

that thing is the exhaust of auxiliary power unit or "APU" , APU precisely acts as a battery to the engine.

[matupas19]

THAT THING IS THE EXHAUST OF THE AUXILIARY POWER UNIT or known as the "APU" which located in edge of the tail section.. APU precisely acts as a battery to the engine.

[jaz39]

what is that thing on the vertical fin?like a small balloon rotating!

[resmundo]

787 sucks donkey ass...

Dear All,

I have some questions about psychology:

(1) Why do we love flying?

(2) Why do we always want to design new aeroplanes?

(3) Why do we think that building new aeroplane is a representation of success?

(4) What do we prove through designing and building new aeroplane?

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE for your creative ideas and brainstorm!!! :)

[Engelton182]

is there a problem with the landing gear!!!!!!!!!

[affnan]

That normal for first flight, just in case things goes wrong. They just want to try flying it first.

All first test flight this way, especially if its the first of it kind.

[affnan]

Must say Boeing make one superb airplane, hope I could be one in acceptance test flight. Did a few 37 in Boeing Fields, great aircraft this 787.

[asrhein00]

on first flights they don't usually put the gear up. they are trying to limit variables because systems have not been tested yet. as far as the wing flex goes, the aircraft is flying light, meaning not much fuel. the fuel tanks are in the wings, so without much fuel that much wing flex is normal. the wings actually become stronger with more fuel.

[cameroncarina37]

My boyfriend got upset when I asked that we do a threesome with my friend Michelle can you believe that?

[fanpim]

ha ha ha,that's funny!!!

[torx82]

is that much wing flex normal. Wonder how much they will flex with that thing fully loaded with people and luggage?

[annjibabii]

i really need somebody to .... Well yah should find out^^

[DougDaCosta]

In addition to the angle of dihedral, the wings flex up a lot. The wingtips look like they're about 8 feet higher than the fuselage.

[cfinstr]

"ala ack-bar" or ala-ack-hu-ack-bar" is nonsense! LOL!!! It can only truly be "JESUS-CHRIST-HU-AKBAR". No need to praise SHYTAN (aka Satan) aka allah. LOL. The Aircraft is great.

[fanpim]

ha ha that's also funny!!!

[Addamigpmsn]

what is so speciall with it ? i watched untill 1:58

[midmarky]

Did they have a gear issue?

[baskorvv]

wow an airplane who cares ....

[stxer]

I would have liked more of the radio communications and less cheering and announcer. We obviously can see the plane was taking off and don't need to be told that.

[TAHMURI]

Hmm why doesnt it withdraw its wheels once airborn?

[syvertsonj]

When executing a first flight, the test plan does not call for this. This is done in subsequent test flights. Jon

@darksideka

Dont pretend your a Muslim you pathetic dog. Especially since you cant even spell the arabic words nearly correct.

[etaerc8]

@darksideka

it is not alaa akbar.. It is Allahuekber..

Allah mean God..

[JeffRL1956]

There's nothing wrong with using Silver Stars as chase planes. They're simple, easy to maintain, and cheap to operate. I've flown in them five times to do air-to-air photo missions and they're excellent in that role. The visibility is far better than from a bizjet, they're very maneuverable, and they're faster than almost all bizjets (and cheaper than them all, too).

[youmsx]

5***** Thaaaaaaaaanks , Saudia Airline Bought this airplane ,

[carlospfontes]

Brazilians on Climate Change: "Clima Embolado"

[JeffRL1956]

Guydabest, that was a Canadair CT-133 Silver Star owned by Boeing and used as a chase plane. It's the Canadian version of the Lockheed T-33A T-Bird.

[WC3POchannel10A]

Ironic that they were using ancient T-33s as a chase aircraft with the most advanced airliner ever built.

[pavelavietor1]

hello congra boeing God speed

[cb2000a]

Wow the flex on the wings is incredible

[TwelfthRoot2]

I was thinking the same thing!!

[betterdenu452]

just incredible my dad might fly these when air canada gets them:D

[Guydabest]

hmm whats with the plane flying behind it on the runway?

[CngDelta757]

HOLY F**K!!!! THAT WAS AMAZING

[bbblack75]

super aircraft...........

[viceroytennis]

Very quiet.

[tallkell]

So... the big deal of this thing is the better mpg. Right? And since this is the first flight, even the improved fuel savings is just conjecture. Let's just wait and see what the performance is like after its been taken around the block a couple of times.

[christopherwarsh]

lol you obviously haven't been keeping up with this plane at all...

[indy2001A]

What elegant lines she has...

[aaaarrggghhh]

And finally it flies... Nice to see that beautiful plane in the sky. Good job, Boeing!

[RAQUAD986]

beautiful plane

[userXify]

very inspiring...

[cphudson]

Amazing......

[DomDigget]

Nice.
