Ahhhhhh taking out the fun of jumping into a cold - fogged up/ frosted over winshield office on a STAR flight ..... hitting the APU start switch 80 thousand times to get some heat ... where's the fun in flying at 5am in the dead of winter?

[Mystified012]

@CompProHD Dude...you should record inside the plane, so we can see the futuristic layout :P.

[boldlush]

at the end he shouldn't say pimp my ride he should say pimp my plane

[Bader88]

[crapper1]

[w67]

Hi Kent,

I hope you'll fly 787 very soon ;-)

[fly4fun]

@w67 Me too! I'm going to try. It'll be 2014 at the earliest.

[airmario3]

@fly4fun i kno why, but some airlines somewhere in asia or australia in 2011.

[wowiejunior]

i like the black window! cool!

[applesweeter]

Dear All,

I have some questions about psychology:

(1)Why do we love flying?

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

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

(4) Why do prove the process of designing and building new aeroplanes?

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

[cwag123321]

@applesweeter your answer:

1.curiosity

2.human nature

3.desire for self accomplishment

4.incorporation of new technologies

5.more efficient planes produce less emissions harmful to the enviroment.

6. its just something to do lol.

[applesweeter]

To: cwag123321

Do you think that passenger will choose to fly with a particular airline if they have environment friendly aeroplanes, like 787?

[cwag123321]

@applesweeter some might but its not the fact of people CHOOSING to go on enviromentaly friendly, its the fact that airlines will purchase them regardless, and passengers will ride them regardless. usually you dont get to pick which plane your on anyway, so people will ride them regardless of if there enviromentaly friendly or not.

[kingcarcas1349]

@applesweeter

1. Because it kicks ass

2. Because they kick ass

3. Because we kick ass

4. Better gas mileage, technology for the pilots, comfy chairs, nicer toilets and hopefully more leg room.

[cv5430]

pimp my ride lol

[asymp2]

I wonder if the pilots at ANA are excited to be the first commercial pilots to fly the plane.

[partyhouse88]

boeing FTW

[BusterBunker]

The gold film is for hydrogen bomb explosions.

[rcplaneguy1]

pimp my airbus!!

[MoNkEyPaTcHcHiLdReN]

Boeing is the bomb

[clamorandi]

what's new about this gold film heating layer? Is it only the fact that it's so visible?

[boeingt]

i ilke black, and it actually looks nice too. but hey gold is gold.

[r0ly345]

Pimp my ride XD

This guys to much.

[FlyingPhoAddict]

Pimp my ride!!!! Had me on the floor laughing like crazy!!

[jwhoneycomb]

That "Gold Tint" isn't new. We've had it in Lear Jets for over 30 years. Though not all aircraft are equipped standard. I'll take the Dark Windows on the Airbus (I can't believe I just said that .. I hate flying an Airbus product .. why couldn't Boeing get its act together?).

[thibaulthalpern]

Why do you hate flying an Airbus product?

I guess Airbus pimps your ride with their blackout windows? :)

[timmyblackboy62]

why don't you like flying airbus products?

[ksa5223]

LMFAO pimp my ride

[Kz777ER]

Pimp my Ride .. hhhh

airbus & boeing RULES

[d2gizzo]

Great video - very interesting new feature. However, I can't help but notice striking similarities between the Boeing 787 and the Airbus A350 (shape etc.). Who's copying who? Or is this simply just a sign of the newest technology being implemented by several companies at once? As it seems below that this is not clear, they were joking about the A350's windows. NO plane manufacturer would ever make fully tinted black windows.

[PITT2013]

Actually, Boeing's windows are far more advanced than Airbus' for the A350XWB. Boeing's are a lightweight, structurally loaded, composite design; whereas, the Airbus windows are standard technology, clamped windows that require a heavy structure to support the aircraft loads. Airbus is giving up over 250lbs of weight in their aircraft design by using old technology.

[d2gizzo]

Thank you for that information - it's new to me! :)

[fly4fun]

In absolute fairness to Airbus, this was just a movie theater in the shape of the A350 displaying some of the features that would be found in their XWB. The windows were simply painted on. We just had some fun with it.

[patrickcramer]

I'm sorry but what is this?! " PIMP MY RIDE?! "

Look how serius they take this! And they yet whant to compete with Boeing...NEVER!

Boeing rules.

[boomshel23]

Boeing rules? That's not what the U.S. Defense Department says...

[patrickcramer]

Yeah you're right...they all say "Pimp my ride!" ...

[Brad1711]

Care to explain your logic there? If you're referring to the tanker deal, that was bullshit. Boeing was very close to the DoD's criteria. Airbus's platform was about 200,000 pounds bigger. Boeing asked the DoD if they wanted something bigger, than the 767 and they said no. Then when Boeing and Airbus made their bids, the DoD basically said "well we want something bigger"

Italy seems to like their KC-767s.

[boomshel23]

The tanker deal is exactly what I was referring to. My logic is about whatever the customer is happiest with, aka "whatever floats your boat" . Hence, the DoD chose a foreign made aircraft over it's long time supplier of heavy planes because they liked the Airbus model over the Boeing. I simply chose to challenge someone's opinion in jest. No need to take it personally.

ps- I don't really care what Italy likes, I'm American.

[Brad1711]

Not personal, just a big debate in the aviation sector. The RFP that the AF submitted outlined a platform that the 767 fit perfectly, and the AF continually encouraged Boeing to make a proposal based on the 767 platform. KC-767 exceeds the customer's metrics at a lower cost of acquisition, operation, AND support. A330 is MUCH bigger and would cost MUCH more (on the order of 25%) to operate and support. It's like telling a car dealer you want an efficient car then buying an H2 somewhere else

[aznturtle1]

wooot go aviation!!!!

[adonist7]

loving the black windows

[eclipse245]

lmao Awesome. A350 looks nice. Can't wait for these awesome aircraft!

[P8NTBALL60]

haha pimp my ride! hahaha
