The amazing and cool photo thread

[GregTheStig]

Is it just me, or are the first and second Dreamliner pictures renderings?

I'm positive that those are all real. I think that first shot came from a demo at a recent airshow that just so happens to be on YouTube.

All the photos are real, and from that airshow. Thanks for the video by the way, loved it! 👍

Some more shots from that display:

So graceful

I find it interesting Boeing have parted from the usual double slotted fowler trailing edge flaps to a single fowler flap design.

Wow, it's amazing that such a large craft could be so maneuverable. That's awesome, thanks for the vid.

Next time you fly on or see a Boeing that isn't a 787, look at those thingies hanging off the wings as you're taxiing or landing and you'll get it

I know the team's main sponsor has a bird in its logo, but that's just ridiculous.
