Flight Global’s Jon Ostrower has flown in the Boeing 787 Dreamliner a few times already. He just posted a video along with a detailed account of his experience inside ANA’s newest toy. It seems like a great experience, as promised:
The extensive use of composite materials makes the Boeing 787 one of the most advanced commercial aircraft ever built. And while it’s already been approved for flight, safety officials are concerned about the long term viability of those materials, which are now being used in the aircraft’s wings and fuselage.
Boeing’s latest and greatest, the $US193.5 million 787 Dreamliner, is expected to change long-haul air travel just as much as the 707 and A380 Airbus models that preceded it. Here are just a few of the new systems and conveniences on board.
Rejoice, for Boeing has delivered its first 787 Dreamliner after three years of delay. It has been handed to All Nippon Airlines yesterday and it will arrive to its base in Tokyo today. It will begin flying on November 11.
