It flies!

6 Brickbats Thrown:

  1. Is it me or does it have some serious dihedral? Wings flex a lot?

  2. Big deals, rocks can fly too, as many an opponent found out in childhood "wars". The question is how *long* it can stay flying ;).

    I figure it'll be at least another three years before this bird gets flown by an actual airline.

  3. I believe the spars of the wings are carbon fiber and that they are designed to flex.

  4. I suppose, given the damage to their manufacturing capability the Boeing management did to themselves, I should be amazed this thing ever flew.

  6. And isn't it beautiful? For the first time in quite a while I miss living 5 minutes from Paine Field.
