It's really mind boggling from the days where the Wright brothers flew xx feet to an airplane the size of a building holding hundreds of thousands of pounds of fuel and 236 people flying thousand of MILES. Wow

I think the real eye opener will be the 787. It will be so light compared to its size (first commercial plane to incorporate so much CF and other such lightweight materials), plus with the efficiency and the new moisture adding ability and other systems so as to create an environment on the plane that is the same in your house rather than a pressurized cabin, this plane will just shit on the 777, which is saying something. This thing will be able to be flown half full and still make money, making it the first plane to be able to be used on a PHL-ORD run, then ORD-DEL run all in the same 24 hours and make money on both runs. AMAZING!!!

Cheers,

The water drained out of the ac as it was slowly lifted up off the water...if it wasn't draining. Pumps would have to be used to get it out.

No way it can be lifted out of the water without damaging it further under all that weight.
