Raw Video: First Boeing 787 Lands in Japan

[unscrup123]

cessna is better than that

[smsandel]

@YouthfulSoul87 It's not the size that makes a better aircraft, it's the technology engineering and materials used to make it and the efficiency and technical simplicity with which it operates.

This aircraft is the next generation of airliners. this is a huge leap, under the hood the 787 is the most advanced machine built for commercial aviation yet, no bleed air system is the biggest leap in commercial aviation technology in many decades. not to mention the mostly composite construction.

[guitarguy2596]

what so good about this plane? It's by far one of the smaller commercial aircraft, so what does it do that makes it special.

[Iamfukenripped]

@guitarguy2596 you know what... I dont know lol... all i can think of is that its better looking than the A380 and that its packed with computers and other modern high tech equipment.... I wanna go back to the days of the tristar and 727s :(.

[sovietbeatle8]

@guitarguy2596 Its special because its made out of composite and has great fuel mileage so it can go great distances without having to refuel. Besides its not that small, its actually pretty big and lets not all forget, its Boeing so its awesome :D

[TOTCD]

@guitarguy2596 It's 20% more fuel efficient compared to other planes with the same size. The inside is re-designed completely to give customers a better experience.

That's about it.

[andoriz0r]

thats one big ass plane

[rizking1]

we landed on the moon... but i guess this is cool...

[onepoundpull]

this is exactly what we need...bigger , faster planes that are able to kill significantly more passengers when they crash...as they most certainly will.

Now...if we can only pack them full of Government officials.....

[MrDanChandler]

That's one bigass plane.

[isokessu]

How is this some news story? There's almost same looking plane at 0:23 -.-

[BlindPilot95]

@isokessu Its a news story for the people who have a love for aviation, like me. The Boeing 787 is a next generation airliner, bringing new technology unseen in other airliners.

[free30mikoerftwimo0o]

i dont get it

[ferrari1795]

Nice flare

[Cammie010]

beautiful airplane

[proppa1000]

@NickIsOriginal because its a first, if you were an engineer, you would appreciate this a lot more

[DaBoyWhoCriedSheep]

@NickIsOriginal Since asians can't drive cars, it's a miracle that this plane landed safely.

[chsieh27]

@DaBoyWhoCriedSheep Funny how the best drifters in the world are Asians.

[TheTruthHurtsYup]

@chsieh27 Ummm, no the best drifters in the world are in WRC rally cars and the Champions are not Asians.

[chsieh27]

@TheTruthHurtsYup Those are competitive RALLY racers. How would you be able to compare them to drifters on the STREETS? Having lived in Yokohama for over 20 years, I think I know what I'm talking about.

[TheTruthHurtsYup]

@chsieh27 Lol, you definitely have not watched any WRC, they drift the streets hardcore my friend. Drifting just on the streets does not make you the best drifters in the world. When they can go from street to mud to dirt to a mix of all in one at over 100mph with inches to spare and people standing right on the sidelines let me know. Thanks.

[chsieh27]

@TheTruthHurtsYup You're correct, I have not watched any WRC, but drifting has it's roots in Japan, on the streets, with Keiichi Tsuchiya's AE86. The "westernized" form of drifting shown in WRC is far from the original roots of drifting. If you search "tanso (単走) drift" in YouTube, you will see a close representation of original drifting, not WRC "drifting." Or enter this into YouTube /watch%3Fv=YzKyKxNR_wE. I am not here to argue with you, in any way

[Horia747]

@NickIsOriginal because its the first plastic plane

[Kottesque]

@NickIsOriginal Because apparently it's better than Trains crashing...So I'm told.

[EnjoiiLifee]

@NickIsOriginal Japan has nothing to do with it, it's the "first boeing 787", it's is the title.

[SmoothCriminalAaron]

@NickIsOriginal wow, you got raped by everyone for making that comment

[AlbertoBarreradotcom]

The A380 is much better equipped, too bad that they cost too much to produce!

[LeinaStol]

Nice but it's not the first 787 landing in Japan. That event happened in July.

Test 787 serial ZA002 was in Japan over the summer to do testing and various unofficial flights. It was very busy when it was in Japan.

THIS landing is just the first landing after ANA took ownership. Which is good but not the same as first-first. Just like Armstrong was THE first on the moon and everybody else was not first, this landing was not first.

[cankerveros]

@LeinaStol yeah dude, not like the first first but like the second first lol

[awesome220]

How did they landed the plane what with their slanty eyes and all?

[LastEmperor28]

@awesome220

How do Americans even work with being so fat and stupid?

[DeathValleyRoad]

@LastEmperor28 How do ignorant close minded lowlife fuckasses like you even stay alive with that shitbrain you have? ROFLMAO FAIL now do the world a favor go jump into a wood chipper

[theonlylolking]

@awesome220 The flyer was not asian.

[DoBrigh]

yup. carbon fiber will revolutionize the aviation industry, with new and exciting ways for passengers and staff to die unexpectedly.

fortunately, with the advent of Mortality Swaps and Catastrophe Bonds, the hedge fund and investment bank community will be read to make a profit.

[shiningpaths]

very nice.

[RT378]

This absolutely sets a new benchmark for commercial air travel. Just watch.

[bbbbbb666b]

@RT378. Thanks for the info. Anyway. This is the dawn of the age of carbon fiber. Kudos to you guys .

[nadoeloiskat]

piece of crap!!!

We suppose to have flying cars by 2015 instead we have the same old shit from 60s

[incognito217]

@nadoeloiskat Actually, the development of a carbon fiber plane is industry-changing. Flying cars can't be made without a propulsion system that won't be too heavy for a chassis the size of a family car.

[DrSamba1]

@incognito217 There was a Nova episode a few years ago (featuring Click and Clack of NPR Car Talk) where they showed a factory doing research in carbon fiber for cars. It's incredibly light and tougher than steel. Unfortunately, it's still very expensive to make.

[DrSamba1]

@nadoeloiskat There was a flying car in the early 1970s. It was a hybrid of a Cessna Skymaster and a Ford Pinto. Unfortunately, the prototype was badly designed and poorly implemented, and the designer and the pilot were killed when the prototype crashed in 1973. Look up AVE Mizar.

[arash2628]

nice nice....

[mati123se]

damn..why didnt it crash??im soo angry!!

[rfervelas]

As I recall... those are GE Engines... I might be wrong, though...

[xxquiker]

@rfervelas no, they are RR

[elkkid2]

These are not ALL American made? --Rolls Royce Engines?  Crap! What is the Matter with America?!

[DonaldScottIV]

@elkkid2 ... Rolls Royce has made the engines for the majority of aircraft for over 40 years. What is the matter with america is it's ignorant youth.

[nourizu]

@DonaldScottIV We made the iPad. enough said.

[DonaldScottIV]

@nourizu No, you didn't... Several older generations did. I am american, but I recognize that many people are like you... Shallow in thought and knowledge.

[DrSamba1]

@elkkid2 It's hard to make anything when American companies keep sending the manufacturing jobs overseas and the CEOs pay themselves outrageous bonuses with the savings.

[geogodley]

good they didnt go over the top hubris like airbus who keep building oversized to show off while they cant even keep the smaller ones from crashing..

[slhines7]

Welcome to Radioation Nation!

[footballmafia62]

Hey! Those are Rolls-Royce engines

[MrSuperunicycle]

whats raw about this?

[jradetzky]

toy plane

[EndTheResistance]

Can't wait to try it. Sure beats the A380!

[sleepyduck]

@EndTheResistance how do u know?

[BullsWaterboy]

@EndTheResistance ur retarded right?

[madmaxonliner]

a triumph in the Airline industry...

[echorse]

How much does it cost?

[Howrrang]

whats so speciel with this plane !

[citizenzombie]

@Howrrang Carbon Fiber

[rewindablender]

@Howrrang if you knew much about the aviation world, it is a big deal.

Basically: The engines are quieter by ALOT and the wing and fuselage design are made of special plastic and the wing flex is high which makes this plane VERY fuel efficient.

[footballmafia62]

@rewindablender Sorry for being trivial. Alot is actually 2 words; a lot.

[rewindablender]

@footballmafia62 whoops, my bad. :)

[cirusMEDIA]

My plane is bigger!!

[leepakim]

looks tiny

[XxMzt4RVLCNRYxX]

oh shit biiiitch
