Revolutionary new Boeing Dreamliner takes off Wednesday
On Wednesday, the world's first jet to be made mostly of carbon fiber, instead of traditional aluminum and steel, will carry passengers for the first time when Japanese carrier All Nippon Airways (ANA) flies from Tokyo to Hong Kong with 264 travelers on board.

Wonder if the current grounding due to a lightening strike will delay this?
how are they gonna do that - the nacelle was damaged in a fender bender last week ?
i hope there will be more "CARBON" copies in the future. we all know that the airlines will desimate the perks for more tight seating as they have for every new a/c in the past an present. admire this new airliner now for as it is, not what the airlines will turn it into.
History has shown that people (for the most part) prefer a cheep ticket over comfort. The airlines respond to this by putting in more seats and charging less for tickets. Those that can afford it, fly first class or a fractional. People buy a bus ticket and are pissed when a limo does not show up.
Plastic airliners dont make me feel warm an fuzzy yet, give me a plastic car they dont have to fall far if something breaks off.
I hope someone takes some out the window video of this! I have yet to see any footage of the aircraft in flight from inside the cabin.
