Can someone please inform us about some interesting technical details about the 787, from a pilots perspective?

From what I heard, it has an independent pneumatic system fed by independent (electric?) motors? no bleed air?

I heard it has feedback from the artificial feel unit for the rudder pedals?

How is the FBW organised? like the 777?

Great to see at last. I'm looking forward to flying this more than I ever was the 380.

Went to Everett to go on the Boeing plant tour. Very impressive. Saw this very aircraft outside just after they painted it.
