Boeing 787: The legend of Dreamliner
Vložit
- čas přidán 11. 07. 2018
- Boeing 787 Dreamliner is a family of wide-body long-haul airliners, developed by Boeing in the early 2000s. The first commercial airliner with a radically increased proportion of composite materials in the design.
The 787 is one of the most advanced and most popular modern commercial aircraft.

I flew the 777 for 19 years and 4 years ago I was introduced to the 787. Wow! What a shock! It’s a fantastic aircraft, everything electric and so friendly; imagine you enter the future and this is what I felt. I became an instructor and it has been an honor to introduce this Dream to my crews. Thank you Boeing!
I think this aircraft could easily replace the 767 and maybe the 777. Its just amazing and also a beautiful plane.
"DREAM-COME-TRUE-LINER".

767, perhaps…but the 777 is going to have utility for a long time. It’s an enormous, highly reliable twin engine and really, Boeing’s only competition with the biggest a350s atm.
I joined the MHC in this airplane 🍾
Hey man! You’re welcome! What airline? I was a field mechanic and crew lead at the BSC delivery center for YEARS!
I know so much about troubleshooting electronics, I could be an industrial automation technician 😂. Everything EVERYTHING is electric. There are 2 bleed air ducts on the whole plane. For ring cowl anti ice.
I put blood sweat and tears into those babies. Mostly sweat, but glad to hear she’s loved 😂
I retired from American Airlines in 2001 after thirty four years as an A&P mechanic. I started on the 707 and then on to the 727, 747,757,767. Once retired, I got to fly on the 737, which the company did not buy, and the incredible 777. Since the 787 took to the sky's, I have yet to experience her. However, I have are lot to look forward to. Hopefully, before I leave this life, supersonic flight will once again become a reality. For those of us who spent most of their lives lucky enough to be a part of aviation, I am grateful that the airplane has shrunk our world and united the people of the home we all call planet Earth.
Flew the 787 as captain for 3 years prior to mandatory retirement. When I started flying it, there were more astronauts than 787 pilots.
It was an incredible airplane that was a dream (pun intended) to fly.
Boeing is a great company, and the 787 is the best, I love it, it is so elegant and pretty, did you enjoy flying it? What was it like? How did the plane handle? Was it manueverable? Or did it take time to turn?
It was a superb airplane. Almost no mechanical issues after the battery issue was solved (the subcontractor's quality control) it was virtually flawless.
As a former fighter pilot I found the responsiveness to be exceptional for an aircraft of its size.
Performance was impressive in all stages of flight from takeoff to landing.

I wasn't going to comment, but Im damn proud of my uncle who was a senior engineer on this project. He bragged about this at every stop in the certification process. I got to fly on norwegian recently and I could help but feel the awe of this feat. What a bird
The 787 and a350 are my favorite planes so far but I still want to see the 777x.
The wings on the Dreamliner are absolutely stunning, the most beautiful and iconic wing design since the Concorde.
A350 wings nicer
@@ant2312 nah mate, the A350 is, overall, a far more beautiful and graceful aircraft than the Dreamliner but the stunning curved wing design of the Boeng is to die for.....
@@gooner72 no slim, the 787 is far more advanced looking...the wings are the least part that make the 787 more attractive than the a350. Sorry ...FACTS☝️
@@930sim8 I know what you mean mate but that for me, personally, the Dreamliner wings just do it but I prefer the A350 overall.
@@930sim8 my husband’s is coming to pickup us.
Love the NEAR VERTICAL takeoff!!! Looks so beautiful, Boeing employees did a fantastic job...
Fantastic job? Is that what you call the assembly of non-conformed parts? czcams.com/video/rvkEpstd9os/video.html&t
I love the performance of the 787. I love watching them on Flight Radar, soaring way above any other airliner at 43,000ft and cruising just as quick as a B777 and B747.
Nice plane but the airbus A350 is better.
@@djovalhou4109 based on what??? The 787 is more selling than the A350. How better the A350 is?
According to experts the A 350 is currently the most advanced aircraft in terms of technological performances.
I am sure it will overshadow any other airplane in the future, especially for long courier flights.
Ndl Ben Have to agree with Djoval on this one. The A350 overall is better, but the 787 is still really nice.
My first flight in my life was on a 787-9 (And back on a 787-8). Made my big Dream true so (for me) it's truly the Dreamliner
[Quote} " The 747 was not impressing anyone for a long time". Are you kidding??? That plane is still revered today by millions.
It is revered by millions,but orders were dead. I think that he was referring to buyers actually signing orders.
But nobody is ordering 747s anymore
And engineers, designers, buyers.
He’s biased.
Its the most recognized, sure, but hes right. The air carriers have lost interest in it because its too expensive to operate and apparently, too difficult to fill to make money per flight.
My wife will not fly long haul, 2 years ago we were flying from uk to majorca, We had the good fortune to be flying on the dreamliner with tui wow, Now Tui offer the dreamliner a few times a year to fly short haul so Last couple of years I have booked our holidays to coincide when the dreamliner will be flying shorthaul to spain,majorca love this plane as does my wife.
Flew KLM Business class across the Atlantic. It’s the most quiet and futuristic looking aircraft I have ever been on. Service was superb. I cannot wait to have another vacation to fly aboard again. Literally the highlight of my vacation was the flight.
I have flown in both the 787 and the A350 and I understand why people compare both aircraft. Both feel the same overall with a higher humidity and higher air pressure cabins, both have RGB LED lighting, and both are relatively new aircraft. The only clear difference in experience is that the 787 has a slightly narrower seats for being a narrower plane.
Pls bear in mind that seat width and pitch are determined by the airline, not the plane manufacturer
artdelac yeah but 787 is narrower so the same configuration 3-3-3 will be very tight on 787 while 350 is wider=way more comfort
MaidenAirTM Hmm, that is a very narrow, misguided view. You have to realize that the 787 was originally designed by Boeing to accommodate 8 abreast seating but it was the AIRLINES that decided to squeeze 9 seats for more profit. I appreciate both Boeing and Airbus but facts should matter. In fact, it is Airbus that is giving their airline customers the option of 11 abreast seating in the latest version of the A380. How could that be comfortable on long haul flights?
Educate yourself! the A350 is wider! "The cabin's internal width will be 5.61 m (18.4 ft) at armrest level compared to 5.49 m (18.0 ft) in the Boeing 787[106] and 5.87 m (19.3 ft) in the Boeing 777"
The A350 does seem to be a bit more comfortable and it feels a bit more premium compared to the B787! I have flown a few on both! (from norwegian, klm to qatar and singapore which have both models)
EJ Tech they look strikingly simlar from the outside as well.
I have flown in the Dreamliner several times over long distances and I can attest to its comfort and reduced noise levels compared to other jetliners I’ve been in. The seats were very good in all versions I’ve been in, and the ICE screens are very nice. One thing that I found unnerving was a very unpleasant noise and thud when the landing gear is retracted.
So pleased they've stopped catching fire.
I remember through out it's development and initial construction their were constant complaints about one thing for another. But to bring a totally new aircraft to market with extensive new materials, new engines, carbon fiber, and the extensive use of
Travelling on a 787 for my first time in just a few hours. Interesting video mate
very thorough video. I can't even begin to imagine how many hours you spent researching all this info. thank you
It's also worth mentioning that the increased fuel efficiency and range made it possible for low-cost airlines like Norwegian and Scoot to start Long-Haul operations ;)
FloatingGoat They’re certainly a welcome addition to transatlantic service. The only problem now is the fierce competition out here with the likes of Air France, British, Lufthansa, KLM and others.
Speaking of which, Scoot brings a variety of Chinese cities stable, consistent and unsubsidized widebody service. Oftentimes they constitute one of the only widebodies seen in some destinations.
Yeah, I've been flying on 787 Scoot a lot in the past new years.
Thanks for all the "boring" data that finally explained all the different versions. Most of the other media doesn't include that so a lot of my questions were solved today. Thanks again.
Great Video - as always :) Thank you Sky and keep 'em coming! So many facts in one video - just plain excellent!
I travelled by 787 from Delhi to Doha. it's a beautiful journey. like love B787
The 787's cockpit window is beautiful.
Watched till the end and loved your ending note .
Amitesh Kothiyal me too! 😊
787 is the most beautiful airliner of the modern world!
I can't wait for the day I set my foot into one of those
its amazing but Air India made it shit
Another masterpiece from Boeing, and 787’s are so quiet, the other day I saw one flying overhead, and I could barely hear it.
Beautiful airliner and best company. Boeing is an example of honesty, selflessness and moral integrity. We need more companies like Boeing who are putting safety ahead of profit and always innovate to make a new generation of airplanes safer than their heritage.
The 787... I admire the absolute workmanship of the hull section overlap joints and fasteners. They are so proud of their work that they have their customers worldwide just look in awe at these structural components more often than before. And don't get me started on that really innovative battery containment box. It's a work of art. How graciously it separates all these Lithium Ion cells.
Next time I fly the 787, I will bring my parachute in case I get a free upgrade to a structural inflight breakup experience. 😍
the Dreamliner is awesome jet to have the BBJ version.
Going to Australia in March ticket reads "Dream Liner" I remember the problems they were having with the batteries, glad to hear its been resolved!😎
Lol actually what Boeing did was just house the battery in a titanium fire proof box.
We have flown on the Dreamliner a few times with TUI from the U.K. to Jamaica on are holidays a few times now it is a great aircraft
The amount of technical information you have is astonishing
Thank you for such a great video. The plane nerd in me is happier than ever!
I used to hate the look of the Dreamliner, especially the nose. Years later, it’s one of my favorite planes in the sky.
I always remembered De Havilland Comet when i see pictures of 787 since it also got that sleek nose design
I love it. The wings are so beautiful!
787 is an incredibly quite airplane. On approach and just before landing, it whispers thru the wind almost like a glider. It's beautiful machine and really nice to look at.
I flew in a 787 with ANA. It's such a beautiful aircraft and I love looking at its wings. The wings bend and flex so eloquent like a skillful dancer.
I flew from Tokyo to Frankfurt in a 787 with ANA and it was amazing.
I fell asleep twice while watching this.... your voice is perfect.
Thank you
lol i did too, despite loving commercial aviation.....
Thank you for the video, Sky!
In 2018 I flew in this aircraft from Sydney to Los Angeles -- a wonderful, comfortable experience even without first class seating. I cannot recall a more relaxing flight -- and I've been on hundreds.
economy 3 -3 -3 seating is horrible on it
Absolutely love this channel
So do I. He really knows what he's talking about! And Sky has a very pleasing voice plus the accent holds my attention!
Nice job. Thanks for sharing.
Sky, I thank you again. The uploads you produce are second to none. Suffice 👍👍
Worked for Boeing Charleston on the 787 project for 7 years. Built the 47 (tail) section. Nice video.
You made it easy to watch to the end.
3:11 Oooof he dropped his namecard stand
Just found this video. Excellent, thanks for posting
Truly a beautiful aircraft and a very nice presentation! Thank you.
The 787 is the most beautiful 2 engine widebody aircraft series flying today.
Ist ugly af, ever seen it's nose?
Banch It’s his opinion, take yours somewhere else mate
Eh,my personal favorite is still the 777,I mean it doesn’t look terrible,gotta admit though,nose ugly AF
Alban Pema Still The most awesome looking twin jet IMO
The forefront of the plane is what makes it distinctive
Good info. Thanks.
My dad owns a big international company. They just bought a brand new 787 for the company jet..I have flown on it a few times already and its very nice and fast. It has a few bedrooms showers etc. Private flying is really the only way to fly. There are certain attributes in being wealthy. I am not rich, but if I were, I'd want a yacht more than a plane. My dad has a yacht , but I don't. Its pretty big and I like cruising on it when he allows me to partake. One day maybe I will inherit his wealth, but my dad already said that when he passes, he's leaving all his fortune to charity as he says , I'd be better off with making it on my own. I've tried to just let it go in one ear out the other , but I guess its his money , and for the while my family and I are allowed to use his big assets , so I better protect him as I sure don't want him to die. I found that being a billionaire has its quirks , and believe me my dad has a lot of quirks. And I am still a young lad, for he might change his mind some day.
I've ridden the A380-800 to Dubai and to Seoul.
The A380 is fucking huge.
It's quite comfortable and the interior design is luxurious in both coach and business/First.
I saw a Dreamliner on the tarmac and I can't wait to ride one.
Beautiful
Despite the ongoing quality/safety issues at Boeing, the 787 remains by far my favourite airliner.
I regularly fly 777 & 787 with Qatar.
I really enjoyed the whole Boeing series you put together!! I started at the beginning and just kept going
Many Thanks to the Developers and engineers of this aircraft. It’s quite amazing.
I have to fly on this aircraft someday. Excellent job Boeing.
As a private owner of a 747s, I was convinced by your video to buy a 787… until you mentioned the battery problem.
FADEL HANOUN why do you own a plane?
One of my favorite planes
The Boeing 747 is still impressive .
The airconditioning system really makes a difference. No low humidity stress on mucus membranes or the skin after long flight. However seats seem very flimsy and are very narrow, much inferior to the ones found on Airbuss 320/330. I do not like anything built by the frogs, but in this case I have to give them credit for more comfortable seats.
Give thank to the airlines, unless you are in Japan airlines ( who really take seriously the dreamliner), you would find narrow many dreamliner on economy.
Great video and amazing aircraft! Can hardly wait to see what Boeing unveils this month a Farnborough! Its MoM time! 😎😄❤️🛫
I have flown on the 787-9 from Perth to Auckland earlier this year and really enjoyed the flight. We flew at night and it was a very short flight time of 5 hrs 15 mins. We were upgraded due to early maintenance issues with the Trent 1000 engines which is still an ongoing issue for Air NZ. Thank you for sharing.
Your channel is brilliant. Your presentation is spotless and the economy of your narration vs. detail is perfect.
Thanks for sharing this
The most beautiful...the most elegant wings in the biz. Love this bird.
The GE engines on the 787 are a whisper in contrast to the Trent 1000 noisemakers. With GE engines, the cabin is amazingly quiet. You can hold a conversation on board like no other. We went American Airlines with GE.
I believe United also uses GE on all their 787's.
GEs are more durable than the RRs. I know that the GENX had issues as well, but the thing is that GE acknowledged and fixed the issues, so now they are as reliable as a LEAP engine on an A320NEO
I really don't understand how RR made a good job with the engine of the 787, a380 ect, but not with the 787😑, like that they don't take it that seriously. It really a shame and something to be more anger. We can get to the conclusion that every company have it site of corruption in one way in another.
Excellent video, thank you for this amazing work you've done.
Nicely done video. Excellent! This is the type of production that gets people interested in aeronautics!
Enjoyed this video, in fact I really like this channel and the work you do. Some of the aviation content on CZcams. As for the 787, it is now my favorite aircraft to fly on. It is comfortable, even in economy class (I have literally flown around the world on this aircraft, with BA).Great cabin environment, for all the reasons that you gave. As result, I find that I arrived at my long haul destinations much more fresh than on previous aircrafts. More than likely due to this and to the quieter cabin. Another thing that I have noticed, though this maybe more a coincidence based on the flights that I was on, but the airframe’s construction seems to help dampen the effects of moderate turbulence.
Aesthetically, the plane is beautiful to look at, especially its wings in flight. They are such a clean and efficient design. All and all, I am enthusiastic about this plane. Once more thank you for making this well produced video.
Quote: "airframe’s construction seems to help dampen the effects of moderate turbulence"
Perhaps you missed the portion of the video where active electronic turbulence abatement was described, as that's responsible for your comfort not the airframe. From Boeing: "Sensors on the 787 sense and dampen turbulence for a more comfortable ride and less motion sickness."
@@anhedonianepiphany5588 are you on your ways
B787 is a fantastic airplane, my most favorite airliner ever… and that name… oh boy, that name… the Dreamliner…
Anyway, super video - I learned plenty of new info, even though being a huge fan of 787! Great job! Really love your vids… thank you!
Dreamliner is a good name. Not the XWB)
Dreamliner is a fantastic name! Have one hanging above my desk, took me a while to assemble (especially the paintjobs), but anytime I think of flying, I just nod my head upwards and see this blue-white beauty :-).
I think that maybe you and a dreamliner should get a room!! Or maybe go spend a night alone in a Boeing factory hangar! Lol!!!
Obviously you have never worked on one.
Ah, yes, the _787 Dreamliner_ ... It'll cease being referred to as "the dreamliner" following it's first disaster!
The 787 is the best flying experience I've ever had. The cabin humidity makes a huge difference compared to other aircraft, it feels spacious and it's pretty quiet, even when I sat just above the wings. Never flew on the A350 though.
The best airliner I've ever flown in :) absolute beauty
my fav plane to fly on
Love your videos Dude!! Thanks 👍🏼🛩👆
I hope to fly in one someday. They are a remarkable feat of engineering.
Looking forwards to taking Dreamliner 787 in the near future !
I fly a fair amount around the world, about 200 - 250 K miles a year... I have only flown once on a 787. Wow, I loved it! the big windows and the extra pressurization really impressed me. It was very quiet too.

Nostalgia with your profile icon
Excellent,comprehensive, and well put together review!
Great video. Thank you so very much for the informative and entertaining upload, Sky!
Just toured the Charleston final assembly plant. Really amazing to see how clean and efficiently they are manufactured.
My dream is to be a dreamliner pilot
Another fine presentation!
Thanks
I flew on this airplane. It looked great! There was a great IFE, a window that didn't need a shade to seal off light from the sun, it looked something from the future, except it was actually living in the present!
The 787 is the most comfortable plane I have ever taken (in Economy). The increased cabin pressure really makes a difference.
It just occurred to me how insanely over budget the project went that they need to sell about 1200 Planes to break even.
the latest estimate was at 1,600 aircraft...
You are kidding, aren’t you? With litigation driving up costs in every business, product or service it is not surprising that costs do not rise to that level.
@@wmeemw994 it is astonishing considering that the A350, the 787s closest competitor, had an original development cost of 5 billion dollars, before the 2008 redesign doubled it to 10 billion and later 12 billion, reached break even in 2019, while the 787, which has about double the sales, was launched first and entered commercial service before the A350, has yet to do reach said mark.
Communist, race-baiting, capitalism-killing labor unions will do that to you as they did it to the American steel industry and the American automotive industry and on and on and on...
simply beautiful
Love the details of various models
Very slick and instructive video. The 787 is a great aircraft to fly in. Unfortunately it is still experiencing some additional problems vis a vis the fuselage bonding as also with the vertical and horizontal stabiliser tolerances. Hope they are minor and can be resolved. Thanks for the information.
This is my favourite aircraft✈
Such a BEAUTIFUL AIRCRAFT!!! Hope all the details ( and with something like this there must be ALOT of them!!! are looked after)
great detailed information and history of this plane, thanks!
3:11 That guy just dropped his paper standing nameplate
I was looking for this comment i saw it too :D
The other guy folded his nameplate over the table. I wonder which one is an engineer.
That guy is stupid. Look later on 20:06 couldn’t unfold it... 🤓
For those saying the 787 is the Cheapliner, your A350 is a CheapWB.
Here's another point: For those saying that Boeing is solely responsible for the Rolls Royce issues because Boeing wanted RR to make an efficient Trent engine in the first place, that makes the airlines solely responsible for the MAX victims because the airlines wanted Boeing to make a more efficient 737 in the first place. However, if the airlines that weren't informed about mcas are not to be blamed for the MAX, Boeing, who was never informed by RR about anything, is not to be blamed for the Trent 1000.
Great video! Thank you!
Appreciate the research here - looking forward to my first flight this summer from Dublin to Newark on a 787.
Congratulations nice and interesting video, good job!
I have flown on this model 2 times in Economy. there were no incidents and it was no more or less confortable than the 777.
compared to the 777 this aircraft has narrower seats and a more cramped cabin.(I think the airlines are to be blamed for this as they are greedy.)..the positive factors for the 787 are the noise factor and the ambient cabin lighting
I quite enjoyed this video, thank you! I felt you included pertinent peices of information in many areas of concern, delight, wonder, etc without harping on negatives of its past. I will be a passenger of the 787-9 in 2019 and am very much looking forward to it. Thanks very much for a very well rounded review of the dreamliner! Cheers!
Cheryl Wiens --> Can I be in your will?
@@happydays8171 haha too funny lol. Im super excited to fly onboard the dreamliner, not at all worried. The pilots flying this beautiful aircraft are all very well trained to handle anything. There will be nothing in life ever enjoyed if we live in fear of the unknown.
