Boeing 787 front end pic

Crikey! Looks interesting to say least. Steep slanted nose means similar inside from looks.

Here tis... (http://www.boeing.com/randy/archives/photos/787_flight_deck.html)

[RENURPP]

Very similar to the B717!

Boeing 717 (http://www.boeing.com/commercial/717/movies/717vr2.mov)

[18-Wheeler]

It's remarkably advanced!!

(Note - It's sitting on the runway, engines & radar going, but no pilots in the seats!)

I can't see the USB2 socket for my DVD player...:*

[haughtney1]

I can really notice the evolution from 757/767 to 777..now the 787.

Looking at the overhead and centre consol..everything where you would expect....a nice little conversion course onto it me thinks:D

[Transition Layer]

Very similar to the B717!

a nice little conversion course onto it me think

Don't go putting ideas into people's heads. Next thing we'll know Jetstar pilots will be offering to fly it for 717 rates + 10% or something.

:rolleyes:

Not really what is out of the frame, are the pilots bailed up by the dog, who's job it is to stop them from touching any thing.:p

..got in before me. If I didn't know better Woomera I'd think you were an engineer... :p




He's half an engineer .... he breaks things for others to fix!!

:E

Another Woomera

[DeBurcs]

Nice futuristic nav-bags...

They report it is the same lay-out as the 777 cockpit but the MFDs are completely different and the layout of the centre pedestal is totally different too.

Hopefully Boeing have finally paid attention to some of their traditional weak-points in cockpit ergonomics:

- airflow
- lighting
- cooling fan noise
- seat comfort... but those seats don't look any better for parking ya butt in hour after hour and I guess it'll never change

I only see one coffee-cup holder per side..... :{



"Johnny, would you like to see where we hang our coats...?"

[Ron & Edna Johns]

Hmmmm... is Boeing suggesting that in the future pilots will be spending 7 days a week, 365 days a year in this "office"?

Read the caption...

[ur2]

Can't believe Boeing have still not gone for the side stick.
Why sit behind that thing for 15hrs and only use it for 2mins.

[climb11thousand]

HUD's, it's about time. I wonder if the thing comes standard with am/fm radio, drivers airbag and power windows :D

[Elastigirls_Lover]

Where's the kennel for Lassie ?

[Flight Detent]

Just looks like a slightly modified 737NG flight deck to me!

Also, thats the same outside scene thats on my coffee mug with the 737NG flight deck, I guess they use it for most everything!

Cheers, FD

[haughtney1]

Detent wash your mouth out......its certainly not a light twin cockpit:}

Besides as the NG was described in flight a couple of weeks ago...a MK 1 cortina....with a Mondeo Panel:p

[Kris Lovell]

Is it me, or do the seats resemble Dexter from Perfect Match?

(No hidden mean there either)..(I think)....



:} :}

[DeBurcs]

The tool who described the NG as aMK 1 cortina....with a Mondeo Panelis a twit with no idea. I think Flight International published his letter just to embarrass him publicly.

The NG features, among other things,

a new wing,
new engine (new model of the CFM56),
FADEC,
full EFIS,
strengthened fuselage,
wing-body strake,
higher tail with modified rudder and digital yaw damper,
digital anti-skid,
longer main gear to avoid tail-strike,
higher ceiling,
higher cruise speed,
higher MTOW,
lower takeoff/approach speeds and
lower fuel burn.

He obviously flies the bang-bus and thinks that's the way ahead... :rolleyes: He obviously has no idea the outside of the "Mondeo panel" hasn't changed very much for reasons of type commonality.

The 787 doesn't have a side-stick because the 777 doesn't have a side-stick. Commonality again, you see. Mixed fleet flying.

The 777 doesn't havbe a side-stick because the fat, crusty old farts at United who got involved in design feedback complained it wasn't manly enough with a "faggoty side-stick".

"Only Bang-Bus poofters use a gay little side-stick," they said, "And hold it with two fingers, as though they have their hand on another man's shlong..."

So Boeing, much to their later chagrin, elected to listen to them and go with a yoke.

No hosties on the laps for Boeing pilots for the foreseeable future.

[Capn Bloggs]

Yep, just as the man said. A Cortina with a Modeo panel.

[Next Generation]

A Cortina with a Modeo panel. Yeah, but a hotted up Cortina!!!!! :ok:

[iceblock]

DeBurcs,

You forgot the extra cockpit noise supplied free of charge.

Just the way Dixon would like it !!

Cheers Oz2

[Woomera]

Now this is much better, some thing to play with and keep you awake on those long flights.

[haughtney1]

Yeah yeah yeah DeBurcs...dress it up all you like.......
A new wing....cos it needed it
Not a new engine....just some better cans
FADEC...hmmm welcome to the 90's
Full EFIS..read above..
All the rest of the bits....and its STILL a 737:}

plus Im laughin at how snippy and upset DeBurc seemed:p

[halas]

I'm worried about the bloke who has a picture of 737NG flight deck on a coffee cup.

WTF?!

halas

[DeBurcs]

Yeah, true, in my haste to hang sh!t on the Blunderbus yet again, I let my dignity slip a little.

Still think there should be two stubby-holders aside, as per the 777.

But the end of the day, it's just another tube where you're going to be bombarded with:

- lack of humidity,
- noise,
- cosmic rays,
- ever-diminishing salary,
- hours of the same old boredom,
- some weirdo next to you,
- the same old boiler hosties whinging,
- etc

How will greater fuel efficiency make it more fun?

Are they coming equipped with afterburners? I don't think so...

[juliet]

why the head down pfd if there is a hud? doesnt look that advanced to be honest.
