The long awaited Boeing Dreamliner test flight finally came to fruition on Tuesday as crew and spectators numbering over 12,000 heads gathered to watch this epic display of top notch engineering. Set to be released nearly two years ago, this successful maiden voyage marked the beginning of a series of tests that must be completed before the 787 can be given the "ok" for for commercial use. The new date for public usage has now been moved to 2011.
This majestic craft is set to feature the most technologically advanced amenities and comforts for its passengers, with hopes of raising the bar for fliers everywhere, from first class to economy. New niceties like bigger windows, more luggage space, and more atmospheric lighting will take some of the jitters out of flying, and will make the experience more of a luxury than a necessity. With a price tag like $150 Million dollars each, you can imagine the level of elegence.
This line of 787 Boeing Dreamliners is predicted to change the way people travel, so this last Tuesday, December 15th, 2009 marks a day in history that will eventually be referenced in text books for an indefinite amount of time. During the Boeing Dreamliner test flight, the plane reached speeds of 207 miles per hour, while soaring over 15,000 above ground which are both perfect, typical numbers for a maiden flight of a plane with these specs.
