Just to correct an incorrect statement from megazone below, the trailing cone on the tail is actually a static cone used to calibrate the aircraft's pitot system. Nothing to do with comms or drag. Though it may seem dramatic, given the -9 is a stretch variant, the greater moment arm means OEI testing is pretty benign. OEI testing of the 787-8 or something like the Airbus A318 would be much more challenging.
I always wonder how many vigorous test do you perform and how long does all the testing stages takes and at what point do you fully sign off the plane as seemed fit to fly? Is this applies too all aircraft you build before being shipped to whatever airlines or do you perform lesser test before handing them over to the airlines? I has always pondered and wondered this.
Take care. Gulfstream were testing the G650 in stuff very much like this, at Roswell, when they got it to unstick and rotate into a certain stall, (on one engine) and when it flopped back down, the gear collapsed and the plane slid off the runway and nearly took out the control tower. Then the ruptured tanks caught fire. Then they discovered the clever lifting door assembly will not open when the aircraft is sitting on its belly, burning... Modern aeroplanes are fantastically, unbelievably safe, when operated within their limits. But finding out and establishing (and proving) exactly what those limits are or should be, is not all that safe.
How do y'all determine how many wheels the landing gear gets? Like why does the 737 have one wheel, the 787 have 2 wheels, the 777 has 3 wheels, and I think the 747 has 4 wheels. Why is that?
BTW, TECHNICALLY, the 737 has 2 wells on one landing gear (left AND right), 787 has 4 and 777 has 6 and 747, surprise, 4 but it has 4 back gears. Just a tip.
Joe Krenzelok Watching the video again, she probably could. Those engine's are as big as 5/4 ratio to the main fuselage. I also remember that Boeing 787 is the lightest aircraft of her kind due to materials used in production. So sky is the limit.
Taylor, they didn't. I haven't seen any 350s catching fire due to battery problems, having windshields crack, fuel leaking from the wings and being over 3 years late in delivery to customers to name a few. Boeing's most favored customer, JAL has even jumped ship and ordered the Airbus competitor.
The A350 was originally going to be a twin A340, some how it evolved into a mid-sized wide body all composite airframe. Tell me they didn't at least partially copy Boeing. They new the 787 was a threat so they built a competitor. And just because it hasn't had the same problems as the 787 doesn't me it isn't a clone, it just means they learned from Boeing's mistakes. I'm sure the A350 has it's share of issues coming to it
Taylor Perkins I guess if you say both have barrell fuselages, a pair of wings, a tail plane etc. you'd have a case of sorts, given all aircraft conform to a degree. But then we may as well say Airbus 'copied' the 777 and Boeing the A330. The fact remains both are very different structurally and as yet, the A350 hasn't had the nightmare scenario of worst entry into service since the DC10. And Boeing still don't know the root cause of the thermal runaway on its batteries.
***** It doesn't take an expert to see that they are nearly identical. The A350 is the Dreamliner's ugly twin. The bottom line is, Airbus was working on another , they saw that the 787 was a genuine threat, got scared and threw that piece of junk together. It didn't take them very long to design it, They didn't have to style it because Boeing did that for them, all they did were slap some ugly Airbus style windows, and change the shape of the tail slightly. So they differ structurally it is still a near clone in concept. Airbus could have taken there time to design something original but then again Boeing was grilling them pretty hard
Jeffrey Gipson most likely a sensor. Doesn't look like it would do anything to prevent more "skin" to be tore. Training wheel? Oh I highly doubt it. Same for your ability to formulate a real thought.
There is a recent and very dramatic reference to " losing " both engines right after take off in the US Airways flight " miracle on the Hudson " not that you didn't hear about it but actually watching the recollection of events by the passengers on an individual basis will really get your blood pumping and the radio transmission between ATC and pilot truly remarkable and I highly recommend watching it if you haven't already it's just freaking awesome!
+Michael T I think you are stupid, I do like Boeing too. But Airbus and Boeing are pretty much the same....and Airbus is safer, you can make some research.
Amazing amazing cool stuff, Praise be to the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth....Allah who has granted us the greatest knowledge. Love ya Boeing, keep up the good work.....if I'm not wrong, I believe they brought the 787-9 for flight testing to San Bernardino International Airport in San Bernardino, California a few weeks ago. Too bad, I missed it.
A very large portion of lithium ion batteries is proper charging/maintenance. They probably used a shitty manufacturer and sub-par charging applications. Batteries don't give a shit, they do what they do. It's up to the user to have the know how. Li-Ion is no joke.
ALL COMMERCIAL AIRPLANES NEED TO BE A LITTLE BIT SMALLER, MORE FUEL EFFICIENT, AND HAVE 2 SMALL BACKUP ELECTRIC TURBINES FOR EMERGENCY, AS WELL FUEL EFFICIENCY, BE SAFER CARRYING LESS PEOPLE(25 LESS PERSONS) AND BE MORE PRACTICLE AND EFFICIENT, WITH MAGNETIC ELECTRIC GENERATOR ALTERNATOR.
Those test pilots are so brave, hope they get paid a fortune for doing it to make planes as safe as possible for the future.
Drifting planes? Now I have seen it all
***** AMAZING!

Yessss
the 787 dreamliner looks soo goood!

00:23 that guy was huffing helium prior to the interview!
That guy at :27 sounds like he had some helium in his lungs...
Joash Church He belongs in a Tolkien book with that voice.
+Joash Church Don't be a hater.
I don't hate that guy. I will even buy him second breakfast.
I'm not hating.It grabbed my attention though.
+Joash Church We ALL noticed it.
Two weeks ago I was on the Dreamliner with American Airline from Dallas to Chicago. It was very nice to play with all electronics onboard.

Flying 101: How to drift a Boeing!
i love the new boeing 787-9 and boeing is my favorite company and by the way, nice video!
Boeing I dare you to do this with the DC9 and film it!!!!!!!
Nice drift! makes me think of Dodge Tomahawk Gran Tursimo's air steering.
Even Boeing will drift 弟?
Pilots train to do this when 1 engine failed. So yep..
I will be scared to experience that in a Boeing.
hard to notice tho hahaha
If it's hard to notice then well, thank God because I love travelling by plane but don't ask me to look down
弟 hahaha.
I am impressed! That's why Boeing is still the best! Please! Bring back the 727, I miss it.
cool airplane.
however, many issues...
too loud, too slow, too "butt" heavy and not very efficient in todays standards =/
Aeronave simplesmente maravilhosa.
Cheers!!! Boeing Flight Team,
Martin
It's great guys
Fascinating stuff. Dey see me veering and dey hatin'

+Sol Cooper it depends on how heavy is the airplane. They distribute the aircraft's weight on each tire. A heavier plane needs more tires.
aayayayáy
BTW, TECHNICALLY, the 737 has 2 wells on one landing gear (left AND right), 787 has 4 and 777 has 6 and 747, surprise, 4 but it has 4 back gears. Just a tip.
multi-runway drifting?
Does Boeing supply Brian with Helium,
or is it his own personal stash?
How many pilots can say they got sideways in a jetliner. On the ground.
Amazing aircraft..
maybe there will be a movie called, Plane Drift,
Still gets me that a plane that size can move the way it does.
They were testing Rolls Royce engines, if anyone was wondering. Just wanted to point that out.
So she can take off with one engine? Fullweight?
Good question
Joe Krenzelok Watching the video again, she probably could.
Those engine's are as big as 5/4 ratio to the main fuselage. I also remember that Boeing 787 is the lightest aircraft of her kind due to materials used in production. So sky is the limit.
Have you flown any of the big birds?
Serhan Ogan
Serhan Ogan Not from a stop, no. But certainly from V1.
what is that little thing hanging off of the tail. its fluttering around!!?? anyone know what it is??
steve smith An object to protect the tail of tailstrike, considering the test is so abusive.
Magnificent plane!
omg i cant wait to fly in a 900
Carefull progress thats Boeing.
God that plane looks like it flies so good.
I don't trust the guy with spiky hair with my air safety.
Beautiful plane. Just don't crash in it.
And that's how you drift a plane
I can't belive Airbus blatantly ripped off the Dreamliner with it's A-350!
Because they were scared. Lol. 1 yr of tests.
Taylor, they didn't. I haven't seen any 350s catching fire due to battery problems, having windshields crack, fuel leaking from the wings and being over 3 years late in delivery to customers to name a few. Boeing's most favored customer, JAL has even jumped ship and ordered the Airbus competitor.

Jeffrey Gipson most likely a sensor. Doesn't look like it would do anything to prevent more "skin" to be tore. Training wheel? Oh I highly doubt it. Same for your ability to formulate a real thought.
So whats the procedure for loss of not one but both engines on takeoff?
There is a recent and very dramatic reference to " losing " both engines right after take off in the US Airways flight " miracle on the Hudson " not that you didn't hear about it but actually watching the recollection of events by the passengers on an individual basis will really get your blood pumping and the radio transmission between ATC and pilot truly remarkable and I highly recommend watching it if you haven't already it's just freaking awesome!
You crash. Duhh
FANTASTICO GRACIAS
Very Nice plane
I can hear his voice , that is training,
This plane puts any airbus to shame.
+Michael T
You put rationality to shame.
vacakpocok That's pretty lame dude.
+vacakpocok the first one
+Michael T I think you are stupid, I do like Boeing too. But Airbus and Boeing are pretty much the same....and Airbus is safer, you can make some research.
+calinlam well thats because boeing has been around so much longer
is there also a test like aborted landing without thrust reserving?
tip of the hat to the pilot
Good Job Guys!!!!!!! God Bless America!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Жёстко:).. Тесты, тесты, тесты...
Nice!

Q bn estos aviones
scratches chin. oh yeah its Boeing. They can do all.
you dont get jetlag with this plane

You better test your batteries that grounded many of 787s.
A very large portion of lithium ion batteries is proper charging/maintenance. They probably used a shitty manufacturer and sub-par charging applications. Batteries don't give a shit, they do what they do. It's up to the user to have the know how. Li-Ion is no joke.
