Watch the Boeing 787 Dreamliner in flight

Most of us still have not flow on the Dreamliner, including me (my first flight is scheduled for Feb 2016). I’m really looking forward to the experience.

Boeing has released a YouTube video that shows a Dreamliner going through it’s practice flight in preparation for the Paris 2015 airshow. The video runs for about 8 minutes and it gets a little repetitive, but there are three different camera angles you can watch it from and I’d especially encourage you to watch the take-off. I was astounded at what a steep pitch the plane can ascend after leaving the ground.

Here’s a link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/user/Boeing/ChooseYourView

Very interesting and what a wing shape! Have a look at this shorter clip (3mins) which appears to show a vertical initial climb – wow. We are scheduled to fly on one in October
