NeverSure Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Joe, that video doesn't play for me. I hope you don't mind me trying another one which I think shows the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulchiangmai Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Very impressive but it is only vertical for two or three seconds before levelling out, couldn't almost any plane do this using the momentum of the take off speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luk AJ Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 It was actually after a "touch and go" so even more speed at take off.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulchiangmai Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I saw this video of this Dreamliner going vertical a couple of hours ago on another sight, the caption stated that the 787 was painted in Vietnamese Air colours however there was no Vietnamese Air logos on the tail, instead there were the numbers 787 painted in large letters on the tail and the word Boeing in large letters on the fuselage. Someone has changed the logos. Presumably Vietnamese Air to gain maximum publicity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancashirelad Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I can assure you they don't climb at that angle when loaded with around 300 passengers, their luggage and fuel for a long haul. Even if it were still capable of doing so, passenger comfort is priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it were still capable of doing so, passenger comfort is priority. whilst i agree on your comment about climbing, Most planes can climb and turn at a tighter angel than they do , they dont for passenger comfort. also all planes with two engines can take off and land on only one engine to.

It was actually after a "touch and go" so even more speed at take off.. Pilots call it "trading speed for altitude." In loose jargon it's a "zoom climb." They have to round over before they reach the (wing) stall speed. Agree the plane was empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I don't think I'd want to fly with any airline, that actually flew like that, with passengers on-board. I prefer boring & unexciting & safe, thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dddave Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Am I the only only one to see the incredible irony of Boeing, the maker of the B-52 which dropped countless bombs on Vietnam now showing off it's latest product in Vietnam Airlines regalia? I must be getting old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h90 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Very impressive but it is only vertical for two or three seconds before levelling out, couldn't almost any plane do this using the momentum of the take off speed? And consider that the airplane is complete empty.....a truck also accelerate impressive with is empty.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelepulse Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 A friend of mine that used to work for Boeing said for sure the plane was empty and there was zero cargo on board with minimal fuel. Still, it's quite impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tw25rw Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Must have taken a lot of practice in the simulator and a lot of faith in the avionics to try that. I'm sure a lot of planes are capable, but would end up as fireballs at the slightest mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancashirelad Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) I can assure you they don't climb at that angle when loaded with around 300 passengers, their luggage and fuel for a long haul. Even if it were still capable of doing so, passenger comfort is priority. whilst i agree on your comment about climbing, Most planes can climb and turn at a tighter angel than they do , they dont for passenger comfort. also all planes with two engines can take off and land on only one engine to. Indeed they are more than capable. Driving a Ferrari around a city centre springs to mind. (i.e. leashed & unusable performance) It seems many modern commercial airlines now have only 2 engines whereas in the past they would have 4. Is it right a fully laden 2 engine plane can take off on 1? I don't know. (I know they can fly on one) Edited June 21, 2015 by Lancashirelad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
