All Things 787

A new video from Boeing on the testing of the Dreamliner. Although a little promotional, it still gives a good coverage of all aspects of the flight test program.

It would take a cast of hundreds and locations across the globe. Scientific photographers on the ground and in chase planes would capture much of the action. In the end, in addition to rich test data, the Boeing 787 would complete flight testing with incredible images of its journey captured on video. Take a behind the scenes look at flight testing the 787.
