ANA 787 takeoff and cruise Tokyo Haneda to Hiroshima

[prostosimple]

The 787 is really quiet on takeoff!!!!

[nestinha]

Japan, ANA and the dreamliner. You couldn't ask for more, could you? :)

[3624nathan]

I'm so happy to see the 787 flying passengers :D Love it!

[Phantim3dx]

nice video. out of curiosity why was the altitude at 40,000? was there turbulence in the 30s or by default 787 and/or ANA just likes to operate at high cruising altitude?

[SunriseHealthFoods]

the first wingviews of the  787.. im sure there will be more to come as more people fly on this plane., and more planes are delivered

[SEATracers]

I really want to go on the plane with BA or Thomson :D

[KIDLATglp]

3:35 TOYOTA XD LOL ahh love the 787 soo quiet

[DanTheCaptain]

holy f'in crap i can't wait until the 747-8!

[beijingcentro]

It would be better if Boeing can quietened the engine sound by another half notch? Feels very 767 to me.

[superskullmaster]

@beijingcentro have your rode in a 787? If not the SHUT THE FUCK UP. You cannot judge it by this video.

[loneaxolotl]

Oh my! Look at the wing! It really is different even in that perspective. And the window, it sure is wide enough for better filming! You don't have to poke your camera to the window just to have a nice view like most of the planes. This is the first in 10 vehicles I gotta ride before I die. Mate, don't you know how lucky you are? You know that?

[mikeycbd]

Excellent video, I'm jealous! Wouldn't mind going on this myself. I had to check I was getting told about your videos... tick box is checked.

[aky19832001]

Did he turn off the APU after take off? 

[base5ballsspilot]

5 people love Airbus

[Sam737loverfsx]

OH

MY

GOD !!! This plane is soooo quiet that's crazy !!!

[PRSOV]

Great video, pilots must love being rostered to fly the Dreamliner!

[aerlingus1000]

I can hear the high whine now and it is quite tingling on the ears!

[zszs100]

Only flying at 446mph thats so slow. I thought planes normally fly at over 500 miles per hour. Is it because the alititute the plane is at is too high so it can't fly fast or is there other reasons like saving fuel??????

[Pvjinflight]

@zszs100 Well it depends from many things. If you are having strong wind coming from direction you are flying to it can drop your ground speed a lot as winds are much stronger up there than on the ground. And yes usually highest airspeed you can fly is not most economical one.

[pacificbound67]

@zszs100 If you look carefully at the display, the headwinds were at 104 MPH or 174 KMH.Hence why the cruise was so low.

[houshidar558]

@zszs100 that's ground speed being displayed the speed relative to the ground, thats how fast you WOULD be going at sea level but down there you dont have 100 MPH headwinds the plane is still flying at 500+MPH

[ben7k]

@zszs100 Yeah there was a fairly strong headwind, so the ground speed shown on the screen seems a bit slow.

[a380rockerfan]

Awesome video, you're lucky to fly on an 787.

[plane4111]

how much did that ticket cost????

[ben7k]

@plane4111Yeah it was a little more expensive than I would have liked. it was about $500 US for the return. Totally worth it though.

[ruyjo1]

Awesome!

[BlueandSimi]

LoL I A I A IA I A IA

[EmadIV]

Hey, I have questions I'd like you answer.

-Is it strong on takeoff, like the 757? Do you feel like it's a rocket? Being pressed firmly back on to the seat?

-Was that high-pitched noise (most probably the hydraulic system) loud? Did it feel loud at any part of the two flights?

-How quiet was it during cruise? We all know that the A330 has the quietest cabin during cruise.

Thanks!

[ben7k]

@EmadIV Answers to your questions.

-Was a pretty strong takeoff. Would def compare to a 757 or lightly loaded 767.

-High pitch noise not that loud, just a bit annoying.

-Was very quiet, like an A380.

[EmadIV]

@ben7k Thank you. You made me want to fly on a 787 now, because the A330 was also strong on takeoff for me and had a silent cruise. Do you know when Qatar receive their 787s?

[ben7k]

@EmadIV Sorry I have no idea about 787 deliveries. Hopefully Boeing irons out the issues and they live up to their promises on long haul flights. Otherwise it just an expensive 767...

[EmadIV]

@ben7k You also heard about it? That the 757 is more fuel efficient on short-hauls? I hope these issues are dealt with soon, because since the flight was as you described it, I'll like the 787 a lot.

[MetrolinkTrain638]

2:51 YOU CAN SEE THE EARTH'S CURVE! THAT MEANS IT'S NOT FLAT.

[xxepicsnailxx]

21 minuets to reach 40,000 feet thats pretty fast dont you think

[TheAbds2000]

beautiful

[Coaljet]

What I find interesting is that due to the large wing / wingspan, the 787 doesn't have to go "rocket-nose up" (steep pitch) like a 757 does, in order to climb extraordinarily well. This is something I've noted over the years, and you see it in some turboprops as well: the pitch may be relatively flat, but due to relatively long wings, the aircraft climbs well all the same.

[raykrislianggi]

Rolls Royce Trent 1000 still has the exotic spool up sound like in 0:17, sweet!

[GTboy96]

Great video. Congrats from New York

[juniorpilot3]

awesome video bro congrats from mexico =)

[ben7k]

Oh yeah almost forgot, hear that high pitch noise on takeoff. Does anyone know what it is? I don't think it is an engine sound?

On my return trip to Tokyo, there was a different high pitch whine coming from the engines, I was sitting towards the front fo the wing this time, and it drove me crazy for a while, like a bad case of tinitis.

[GeorgeRoNSky]

@ben7k I'm not sure if I'm correct, but this sound (ends at 2:15) it might be a gear hydraulic, when pilots put the gear lever in the middle position - this sound stopped. I'm just guessing : )

The video is cool. I finally happy to see normal wing view take off. The flexing wing is awesome : ))

[13BigLu13]

@ben7k watch my video of an a319 take off : watch?v=uFXrek7q9dQ

at 1:40 there's a similar noice (a bit lower than yours) so i don't think it's a 787 problem...

[ben7k]

@13BigLu13 I watched your video and heard the sound you are talking about. I think your's is just the engines. I'm sure it's not a problem for the 787 either ;-)

[jzair]

@ben7k Hi, I believe, since it is more of a electrical architecture, it produces some high-pitched sounds. Kinda like the sound u would find in hybrid cars

[QwertyAzerty2009]

@ben7k they pressurize the cabin on takeoff and taxi, the high pitch is a result of that.

[DanielKandiTV]

@ben7k I hear the highpitch as well... Did you sit in the same seat the other trip ? Highfrequencies resonate differently in every part of the cabin... But yea i heard it just stopped that noise. Weird...

[ben7k]

@DanielKandiTV Yeah I sat in a different seat on the way back, over the wing, where it was more noticable at the time. I didn't notice/hear it on the outward flight until watching this video.

[CJCA915]

@ben7k I didn't notice anything...

[a380rockerfan]

@ben7k I'm no expert nor do I know much but it could be to do with the engines at full throttle, maybe the whining noise ceased once they decreased the throttle. For example, the noise of an MD-81/2/etc taking is like a accelerating and decelerating whine/hum (sounds amazing!). But yeah, that's my idea. Anybody else?

[Pvjinflight]

@ben7k It is actual engine sound... Behind the wing most of you hear is just wind coming from engines blowing, but in front of engine you hear more of sound that comes from engine itself and some of it can be heard behind the wing too.

[ben7k]

@Pvjinflight I know what you mean, but not in this case. You can hear it turn off in the video.

[DanielKandiTV]

@ben7k ahh ok. How was it to fly in in general, in turbulence etc.

[platinum243125]

@ben7k Its a starter motor. What it does is that it forces compressed air into the middle of the jet engine to start the rotation of the blades. It shuts off once they are moving fast enough to keep spinning.

[ben7k]

@platinum243125 No I don't think it's that, that certainly wouldn't last minutes into the flight.

[jzair]

Thanks, this is the first actual take off, love your vid :D

[KevinKevKev2]

Yeah that take off was quite steep. I read somewhere the 787 is a slow climber. That didn't look slow to me! 3000fpm-4000fpm take off there.

[ben7k]

@KevinKevKev2 Yeah true, given it was a short domestic flight there would not have been much in the way of fuel , freight or luggage. It appeared that most passengers were "salary men" travelling with hand luggage. It was every bit the same as a typical rocketship 757/767 takeoff.

[CJCA915]

@ben7k Well, the 787 is supposed to replace the 757 and 767, I believe.

[jessecruzu]

@CJCA915

737-900(ER) replaces 757, and the 787 replaces the 767, but the 767 is still in production.

[CJCA915]

@jessecruzu ah, ok, I thought the 787 was replacing both... but the 737-900 is smaller than the 757...

The 737-900 can have 180 passengers in a 2-class configuration or 215 passengers in a single-class layout... the 757-200 can have 200 (two-class) or 234 (one-class)... the 757-300 can have 243 (two-class) or 289 (one-class).

[jessecruzu]

@CJCA915

Yes, it's strange to see the difference in capacity and range of these two aircrafts. But Boeing sees it the 739ER as the 'new' 757... lol

[viking1960]

@KevinKevKev2 I would agree. Boeing historically makes fast climbing aircraft. Airbus planes take their time getting up there.

[cdpakl]

very nice!! I love the curve of the wing. 40,000Feet, wow and -63C that's chilly!

Great video. (mikeycbd here)

[ben7k]

@cdpakl Yeah it's great isn't it, that curve is really iconic of the 787. I didn't even look at the temp, didn't realise it was that cold! We had quite a strong headwind too, all that cold air coming from Siberia!

[Techno04335]

Thanks for uploading an actual normal video!

[hadabenz]

it's an extremely quiet take off!!!!!! many thanks for posting this, i really wanna go to japan and flyANA !

[hawkboy000]

Very nice. thanks for making this vid :)

[JohnsonPBX]

Congratulations man, you're one of the first (if not the first) to upload an actual takeoff from inside the plane. Now tell us, how did the flight and the environment inside the plane feel? Any remarkable facts during the flight?

[ben7k]

@JohnsonPBX Thanks. Well what can I say, after all the years we've been waiting, and all the cabin shots that have been around for the last few months the interior was no secret. The mood lighting does look really cool, not that it was used to it's full potential on such a short flight. The higher air pressure inside does make a difference with regards to ear discomfort, I usually need to hold my nose and blow, on the 787 all I had to do was swallow about 2 times.

[ben7k]

@JohnsonPBX The other thing I should note is, yes the engines are very quiet. Much like the A380 (given they are both derivitives of the same engine..) As you can see from the video, the take off was straight up, like a good 767/757 takeoff. Things might be different at the start of a long haul flight. It was exciting watching the wing on take off, watching the "bow"/bend develop as the wing created lift.
