cooperplace Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 Some funky camera work.... it's probably not as steep as it seems. No doubt an empty aircraft. Also they don't maintain the steep climb for long. I'd like to know their speed as they rotate.
facthunter Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Having about the lightest airframe ever for it's payload, it is enormously overpowered on take off being nearly empty with less than full tanks for sure and full power for effect.. If you held it down a bit it would leap into the air a bit better. and it does.. Have a look at the arrival. Nothing special. Nothing about that demo would make me purchase it for airline work What you go on is actual cost of operation figures. Often wildly over estimated..Nev
pylon500 Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 The camera work and positioning is probably more impressive than the demonstration itself. They must have done a LOT of simulator practice to get the formation positioning right but safe..
flyvulcan Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 I parked my day job aircraft next to this aircraft last night at Le Bourget. Tomorrow I am taking off immediately after the air show. If I see the B787 flying display, I'll report here on my impressions.
flyvulcan Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Unfortunately, there was no practise display on my day of departure from LBG. However, I took a shot of the B787 aircraft anyway. That's the nose of my aircraft in the left foreground. [ATTACH]23683[/ATTACH]
Oksinay Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 What a beautiful aircraft - Boeing has done it again.
ben87r Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Who cares about another stupid Boeing!! What's your ride?
Tecsar Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 I thought the video at start of this thread was mostly camera trickery until a colleague showed me this one which provides for a more convincing viewing angle.
Tecsar Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Yes, it's not the VietnamAir video from a different angle but apparently the routine is the same, at least the take-off.

flyvulcan Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 I'm not allowed to post my own photo of it but it can be seen on a public forum at http://m.airliners.net/photo/detail/id/2638877.
ben87r Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 I'm thinking it might be some form of "world wide" business aircraft. Looks very nice indeed
flyvulcan Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Yes, it's a Bombardier Global Express. 6200nm range (allegedly, I've never flown it that far), ceiling 51,000' (but I've only taken it to 47,000'), top speed Mach0.89 which allows us to TAS out at about 520 ktas if we wind it up. I get to a very broad selection of destinations around the world which is interesting. I am someone who is fortunate enough to be very happy with my day job, but in my after hours, I am even happier with my little aircraft.
ben87r Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 I've only taken it to 47,000' Now I've herd it all!!
