Flight Track - ANA's Boeing 787 Delivery Flight from Seattle to Tokyo
ANA is departing from Seattle at 6:30a PDT for the 9h30min flight to Haneda airport in Tokyo in their brand new Boeing 787. (flightaware.com) Más...Now I am a BIG fan of all things USA. I am not a USAer. But I know pedigree when I encounter it the and the quality of a Boeing with a GE set of motors is marginally ahead of an AB34.
That's if you rip out the FMS of course.
What I really want to know about the 787 is how this composite monoque shell and frame will handle 2g turbulence at minus 60C.
All views MOST WELCOME but check out AF447.

Large composite structures are nothing new and there is a large and growing base of knowledge and experience. One amazing example is the space shuttle liquid tank which is far colder than -60c ready for launch. Even aluminum isn't the same material at -60c versus 20c.
I remain sceptical. Do you know of any published data about composites used in the 787 please?
long live to the newest bird on the sky. congratulations to both boeing and ANA. i hope to get my boarding pass a.s.a.p
