Alexander Wurz 42 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Does anyone of you followed the first takeoff of the 787? It was really awesome. I felt happy with these guys @ Boeing. In my Opinion, the 787 is one of the best looking Aircrafts in the World - especially with these wings... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AngelsAndAirwaves Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 great aircraft with great improvements..but i dont think that the aircraft looks pretty.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weafaeryhsdfgzdfghdfhg 3 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I watched the takeoff, and in my opinion, there have been some more aesthetic aircraft than the 787, I wouldn't say it was ugly, but it isn't the best looking. But today in aviation, functionality and performance is more important than looks, and the 787 has certainly achieved the former. Now we shall wait and see how much of a commercial success it will be - could it be the next 737? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Wurz 42 Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 I don't know if this is going to be the next 737, but it will be surly the next gen 767 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AngelsAndAirwaves Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 anyway , ugly or beauty, it is a good step in the right direction! maybe a huge step for aviation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thralni 24 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I think it looks very sleek. I think it is a beautiful design, but I know planes (also by Boeing) that I like better. Still, I couldn't hide my excitement when I saw the 787 takeoff on the news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul K 93 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I hope its a great success for Boeing...but wake me up when they put the DC3 or C-46 back into production. Them's the sort of aircraft the ladies like !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bionicCrab 7 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Actually today they were saying they've already sold 845 of them... I think that would be a success even if they didn't sell another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rezabrya 1 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I don't think it is the sexiest plane alive but it is pretty. It has some huge engines though. I personally think the F-22 is the sexiest plane ever made. (covers face and prepares for stoning) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
