Crazy take-off (Boeing 787)

Beautiful looking plane, crazy physics. I know they would have done calcs before hand but that looked so claose to falling out of the sky.
 
Isn't that basically what they do for noise abatement departures? I think he was well within his safety envelope, and the long glass it was filmed through compressed the motion a bit as well. But yeah, it's always impressive to see one of the big birds climb like that.
 
The key is really really light. you can get away with things when a plane is 30% below MTOW.
Stall is not an airspeed, it is an angle of attack (AOA).
 
They make the Dreamliner in town. They are amazing. I also see the Boeing parts plane flying around, that is a huge beast of an aircraft.

The takeoff pattern at Burbank Airport calls for a rather steep climb but nothing like in the video.
 
Man that would be so fun. Considering these planes can take off with just 1 engine I can totally see how it's possible to do this with both. Probably pushing them close to the limit though but the computer will probably tell them if they are about to stall and they just border line it. At least that's my guess, not an aviation expert.
 
Meh, not so crazy. Pretty sure military cargo planes pull similar maneuvers all the time so as to make harder targets for ground fire.
 
These planes perform really well when not loaded with fuel + passengers\luggage.

Operating empty weight of a 787-9 is 277,000 pounds. Its engines at full tilt produce in the range of 145,000 pounds of thrust.
 
i experienced something (almost) identical myself.

Aeroflot flight to Moscow in 1985~86, fully loaded passenger plane, bot takeoff and landing as close to vertical as you can stand.

Still alive though. Bit of a surprise but i still think that guy was the best pilot that ever flew me. (my guess: ex-military)
 
789 is somewhere around 300,000 lbs operating empty weight. i'm assuming they didn't load it up with fuel for doing demonstration flights, so i'm going to ignore that. thrust is about 150,000 lbs. that's a thrust to weight ratio of about 1:2. the empty weight of an F-86 sabre is about 11,000 lbs (operating empty weight is empty weight ++, so you can fudge that upward some). thrust was about 6,000 lbs. so, the 789 isn't far off the thrust to weight ratio of a korean war fighter plane.
