I just will never get used to those flexing(flapping)wings
C´mon Wayne dont tell me that after so many years since flapping wings came out first you can not get used to them. I believe that the DC-3 had some of it but more pronounced flexing was seen as new aircraft were introduced. Flapping/flexing allows for lighter weight and less expensive structures and yet doing the same job as very stiff wings.
I don't think the 3 flexed that much, and I understand the safety, design and all that. I just said it would be hard to get used to. A B-52 and U-2 would both flex, but not near that much.LOL
Chalet... Believe United is the first in the U.S. scheduled to take delivery. Rolled out of the factory about 2 weeks ago
Rick I think I read that United will not get its first 787 until 2Q12 due to new (or old as well) manufacturing problems. Oh well, I will have to be patient.
The boeing787 is nice aircraft. Do you think so.
