hifly 925 Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Nice bird. The interior looks like a set from Star Trek. Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,310 Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Sharp looking aircraft, I like it. Isn't it funny how everyone's new engines seem to be the most efficient in the world. Link to post Share on other sites
britfrog 180 Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Nice video! there is a huge controversy at the moment as once again boeing cant finalise the a/c spec, it is still very much in the air , etihad who are perhaps going to be the launch customer are demanding certain specs which suit them but other airlines dont want them ,and as boeing seem incapable of making a firm decision and are trying to sit on the fence, time is flying by and airbus with its 350 is picking up the discontented. If you want to feel a bit weird sit at the back of a t7 in turbulence and watch what the front end is doing, it would put some people off flying. Link to post Share on other sites
GHAO 0 Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Woah... just imagine if they had cameras on the sides of aircraft, showing you the view outside... night sky above as per video, scenery to the sides? Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,495 Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 That would be superb George, like flying without wings! However, I can think of a couple of people that would freak out! Just so long as I get some decent legroom then I am sold Link to post Share on other sites
phil white 274 Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 It would be great to see graphics this good in our flight sims, perhaps P3D v2.0 might be. Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Folding wings were a feature on the very first B777s but nobody wanted the otion as it added too much weight for little advantage, Regarding the body flex phenomenon, you ought to be on a tanker in heavy weather, stand at the break of the poop deck ( the aft end where the accomodation blocks usually are) and look along the maindeck, you'll see the bow flexing up and down by several feet! when that ship is a 270,000 ton supertanker nearly quarter of a mile long and almost 500 ft wide, with a hull depth of around 100 ft, the forces required to move that amount of steel are simply awesome!
