Boeing 787 First Flight

There are times when we talk as friends and joke around about things like this, but then the most important times are when he says "I'm telling you this as a mentor," no matter what it is, those moments mean a lot. - Akash Rastogi [more]

If you think that's a lot, check out the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress, or the Rutan Voyager. (Almost all large aircraft, and all modern airliners have very flexible wings.)

I've heard this same comment a lot recently; I wonder if it's generally a reaction to the idea that the 787 uses relatively new structural technologies, and an (unfounded) expression of uncertainty regarding its strength?
