conom06d Posted July 26, 2010 Report Posted July 26, 2010 Saw one today and WOW, what a gorgeous plane! Hopefully one day I will be flying one . Ill try to upload some pics later
DaV8or Posted August 9, 2010 Report Posted August 9, 2010 Hate to say it, but pretty much all modern airliners look about the same to me. There's one shape that works best and they're all using it. I wish the Dreamliner all the best and would love to see more airlines buying Boeings rather than Airbus. It sure is off to a rocky start.
KSMooniac Posted August 9, 2010 Report Posted August 9, 2010 Dave, if you saw a planform view of the 787 you might change your opinion...this one is a lot sleeker than the past airliners. Checkout the "chevrons" on the trailing edge of the thrust reversers...that is new technology finding a home on a commercial plane for the first time. The windows (cockpit and pax) are also much larger. Still not as pretty as a Mooney though!

How about placing them where we can stare out them for hours without getting serious neck pains!!?? They were fine when I was a kid though...
