Re: 787 First Flight
It took some hunting thru the Wikipedia listing but I found the info on the scalloped nacelle. It's for sound attenuation - helps mix the higher velocity air out of the engine with the ambient air behind it. Makes sense to me.

Re: 787 First Flight
Must have been cool to be involved in the engineering of such a huge project - I hope it is successful for boeing - we need all the success of American companies we can muster.There's always something new to learn.

Re: 787 First Flight
Hey guys.... want to take some pride in America....
Folks that work at Boeing .... build the Best airplanes in the world and frankly we don't sponsor them to get up in the morning....
The Airbus is built with a consortium of moneys supplied buy the European based countries that got tired of having to pay us to drive a "real" airplane.... And with all things.... the Airbus is actually pretty good as a result.... but it took Subsidies from Hell to make it happen.... America and Boeing.... the 787... Hello...
Good on you guys.... Seriously as a pilot kinda guy.... I'd drive your junk!!!
