787 Crosswind Operations



The aircraft is painted in ANA colors as ANA is the lead customer for the 787. Presumably, once the flight test program is done, ANA will receive that airplane.

Those wings are bowed quite prettily. Are these tests done at maximum landing weight?

I feel deprived I never had to face a good, steady crosswind. Tew-Mac was buried in the trees and just had fascinating eddies of wind from time to time. Most of my other destinations seemed to be aligned very well.

Glad I never flew in Iceland, though. Those clouds looked like they had teeth.

Do they know that somebody tied a tether ball to the tail?

Montag, I think that was some sort of gizmo to measure the airflow coming from the tail.

Nangleator, I flew for years out of an airport with one runway that often was not very well aligned with the winds. It could get, um, interesting. I asked several times for them to put in a turf runway.

Nangleator, have you ever seen a B-52 in flight? Nice bow to those wings too. Boeing has a history of making planes with nicely flexy wings...

EBM, presumably at the end of flight testing they will steam-clean the pilot's seat before turning over to ANA ;).
