Boeing has released a stunning video of the practice flight for the demonstration of its Boeing 787-9 at next week's Farnborough Air Show.
Capt. Randy Neville, Capt. Van Chaney and Capt. John Misuradze, Boeing test pilots, conducted the flight in Moses Lake, Wash. The video offers a preview of the planned air show technical demonstration, as well as additional maneuvers to showcase the airplane's performance and capabilities.
These include:
• High-banking turns that show wing flex
• Side-to-side movements to demonstrate roll authority and handling characteristics
ANA which was the launch customer for the 787 has ordered 83 of the 787 family, including 44 of the 787-9 model.
The airline currently operates 11 of the model principally on international routes.
ANA will be introducing a new cabin specification fitted for mid-haul international routes, principally between Japan and Southeast Asian destinations. The aircraft is to be introduced on the Haneda-Singapore route from beginning of August, followed by Haneda-Hong Kong route at the end of August. The airline also plans to introduce the flight on the Haneda-Bangkok route in near future.
The new cabins come with full-flat ANA Business Staggered seats in Business Class (which is already offered on long-haul international services to Europe and North America).
