Boeing began eight months of flight testing on the first jet designed and built in the 21st Century at 10:27 a.m. PST when the 787 took off under heavily overcast skies in Everett, Wash.
Pilots Mike Carriker and Randy Neville lifted the 390,000 lb. test airplane flying north from Paine Field on the start of a nominal five-hour flight that is to end with a landing at Boeing Field in Seattle.
The takeoff rotation was at 140 knots. Carriker climbed the 186-ft. long 787 to 2,500 feet initially to assure its flight stability. The flight plan calls for him and Neville then to gradually proceed through a series of reduced flap settings while flying east over Moses Lake toward Coer d'Alene, Idaho.
Their flight level is not expected to exceed 15,000 feet with a speed 250 knots. But all of the day's flight activities will be dictated by the aircraft's performance and the weather, which was heavily overcast with about a 2,300 ft. ceiling at takeoff.
While Boeing wants the basic flight envelope explored, a safe takeoff and landing are regarded as a complete success.
