Video: Boeing 787 Crosswind Testing
Of the 1,800-plus hours Boeing 787 test pilots have flown so far, few are as dramatic as the recent trip to Iceland for crosswind testing. The 787 team flew to Keflavik airport after weather forecasts indicated conditions most pilots try to avoid — wind across the runway. (www.wired.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
interesting video, while it appears at times, there are birds caught up in the vortex at the tail of the aircraft.
Awsome video!
WOW! Lookit them wings deflect! Who's drivin'? Must be an 'ol J-3 Pilot!
Love 787
After watching the video, I have even more respect for the test pilots, they are amazing, to be able to calculate the amount of drift due to cross wind, and land on the runway, it is just simply incredible. Good looking bird, the 787!!
Looks more like a wind monitoring device on the tail my friend, not a bird.
@pipercgvgv There are birds from 2:09 to 2:12 in the 787 video.
