  • 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.

  • 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.

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

  • 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.

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

  • 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!!! :)

  • 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.

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

  • 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.
