Well for the past five years boeing has been working on a new jet that
they are going to make out of a mixture of carbon fiber and plastic.
They have sold 800 of these gems before the have even done a test
flight, nor are they able to get enough bolts to put them together. Now
to me this sounds a little sketchy so my question to you is would you
ride in this new piece of technology that is supposedly going to lower
the cost of flying by one percent each year? Also if anyone has any
articles on this post them up because I am kind of interested and
others my find them to be interesting as well.

Well when they first unvailed the jet they didn't even have it
completely put together also even if they do a test flight that won't
mean that something won't go wrong farther down the line. As for usaf
if you don't like it don't post there are many other threads on here so
go to one of them.

Yes I suppose you can but being irrelevant and not making a good point
makes you a jack ass. I simply asked a yes or no question and you were
to dumb to answer it, it's a good thing our country wasn't at war while
you were still fighting for us.

Actually there are alot of carbon fiber aircraft out there, and it makes for a stronger and better aircraft than steel. Here is an example of one company that manufactures carbon fiber aircraft fusalages. There are many more companys, but I don't have alot of time to find them, sorry. http://www.adamaircraft.com/ - http://www.adamaircraft.com/ -------------  Join the XP Re-Revolution!

The new F-35 is made of carbon fibre reinforced plastic, and it took Bruce Willis to take one of those down. The F-22 is largely carbon fibre and composite as well. Yeah, I'd fly in something made of carbon fibre. It's more durable than aluminum. Incidentally, carbon fibre is currently in a critical worldwide shortage because of the aerospace industry. A lot of other industries are under huge pressure because their raw materials aren't available. ------------- "Abortion is not "choice" in America.

Well, the plane rolled out on the planned date (07/08/07), and they have planned the first flight for September. There is absolutely nothing wrong with using "unconventional" materials. In WWII the brits made an oddball plane...out of wood. I personally think its great that new materials are working their way into the airline market. As for the lowering the cost of flying (commercially at least)...thats a joke. Check the link in my sig (click on the picture) to see all about that. Anyway, my traveling via airlines will greatly decrease as of 2 weeks from Thursday, and hopefully cease all together in a few years when I can purchase a nice plane. http://www.aviationacrossamerica.com/pubs/mythsrealities.cfm - http://www.aviationacrossamerica.com/pubs/mythsrealities.cfm |

Wow, your profile lists your date of birth as 22 July 1989, that means you've been flying for the USAF since you were 8 years old. You must be some kind of prodigy. No, wait. Prodigy is a different forumer. -------------

I wouldn't call the Mosquito an 'oddball' plane- although yes, it was made out of wood. Awesome range and speed on it... ------------- "Abortion is not "choice" in America.

what does it mean to loop a plane? fly it around for a while in every conditions? |
Posted By: MT. Vigilante
Date Posted: 16 July 2007 at 7:16pm

I think what he meant by "oddball", is the fact that it was made out of not just wood, lots of planes are made outta wood, but the Mosquito was made outta plywood. And the reason it is a success story for out of the ordinary aircraft materials is becasue it was such a good aircraft. ------------- Join the XP Re-Revolution!

I would hope they would fly the plane around before putting it out. I'm assuming they're referring to making the plane do a loop. ------------- A-5 E-Grip JCS Dual Trigger DOP X-CORE 8 stage x-chamber Lapco Bigshot 14" Beadblasted Optional setup: R/T Dead on Blade trigger |

You mean barrel roll. I don't think it's every plane but they did do it with the 707 when they first unveiled it. ------------- <just say no to unnecessarily sexualized sigs> |

A barrel roll? Are you sure? A plane of that size and desighn should not be able to do a barrel roll without tearing the wings off. I'm pretty sure they mean a test flight. ------------- Join the XP Re-Revolution!

| While the 787 may or may not have a great track record thus far (I haven't been following any story on it), Boeing officials won't let them ship a plane that may have glaring design or build defects. It will go through a rigorous test flight regimen like any other aircraft before Boeing or the FAA will certify it fit to fly. |

| A barrell roll is propably possible, however an aileron roll would most likely not be. |

| Once the new 787 comes to my airport, I am going to try to get a flight in it. I saw the computer animation on tv and it looked very modern and comfortable inside. Much wider seating too. |
