If you’ve always longed for your own private jumbo jet, well, keep dreaming. But at least Boeing now offers your the chance to design your own hypothetical colour scheme, just in case you ever find yourself in a position to buy one.
Despite having production delays from hell and question marks over its validity, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner finally starting flying back in October this year. And after ordering 50 of the new planes, Qantas has given us a glimpse of the inside of the new aircraft, which is scheduled to begin flying in 2014.
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.
