00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Downloaded from
YTS.MX
2
00:00:03,580 --> 00:00:06,160
- The 787 is the new generation
3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:07,493
aircraft from Boeing.
4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Official YIFY movies site:
YTS.MX
5
00:00:08,670 --> 00:00:12,860
It is lighter, faster,
and more maneuverable
6
00:00:12,860 --> 00:00:14,493
than all its predecessors.
7
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:23,680
The engines are
revolutionary, powerful, quiet
8
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,743
and with very low fuel consumption.
9
00:00:29,530 --> 00:00:31,633
The cockpit has been entirely rethought.
10
00:00:32,900 --> 00:00:35,713
It draws upon the best
military technology.
11
00:00:39,510 --> 00:00:41,183
The wing design is unique.
12
00:00:45,770 --> 00:00:49,300
Onboard, WiFi works as it does at home,
13
00:00:49,300 --> 00:00:51,853
technical progress based
on satellite relay.
14
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,010
Another innovation, extra-large windows.
15
00:00:59,010 --> 00:01:01,670
An astonishing invention
allows the amount of light
16
00:01:01,670 --> 00:01:02,983
entering to be controlled.
17
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,050
The majority of the
aircraft is made of carbon,
18
00:01:08,050 --> 00:01:09,363
which is a first.
19
00:01:11,090 --> 00:01:13,593
Boeing called in the
world's best suppliers.
20
00:01:14,830 --> 00:01:19,830
In France in particular,
thousands of parts assembled,
21
00:01:20,380 --> 00:01:22,523
wait for it, in three weeks.
22
00:01:24,950 --> 00:01:28,680
And it's at a unique moment,
the arrival of the first 787
23
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,370
in an airline company that
we are going to explore
24
00:01:31,370 --> 00:01:33,213
this exceptional aircraft.
25
00:01:35,070 --> 00:01:36,870
Mechanics will explain what happens
26
00:01:36,870 --> 00:01:39,110
during maintenance operations.
27
00:01:39,110 --> 00:01:42,713
We will learn from pilots
what makes the 787 stand out.
28
00:01:45,830 --> 00:01:48,450
The cabin crew will unveil
the security systems
29
00:01:48,450 --> 00:01:51,533
of this new aircraft.
30
00:01:55,710 --> 00:01:58,030
You're going to discover this new Boeing
31
00:01:58,030 --> 00:01:59,303
as never seen before.
32
00:02:20,020 --> 00:02:24,460
Our adventure begins in Seattle,
Boeing's number one city.
33
00:02:24,460 --> 00:02:27,170
Here they think Boeing,
they breathe Boeing,
34
00:02:27,170 --> 00:02:28,313
they dream Boeing.
35
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,660
The yearly turnover of
this aeronautic giant
36
00:02:31,660 --> 00:02:33,763
is 100 billion dollars.
37
00:02:37,650 --> 00:02:39,960
The Air France team has a meeting here
38
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,693
at the private Everett Airport.
39
00:02:44,010 --> 00:02:47,173
On the tarmac, they
discover the Boeing 787,
40
00:02:48,020 --> 00:02:50,123
also known as the Dreamliner.
41
00:02:54,310 --> 00:02:57,040
This is Boeing's 500th 787,
42
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,113
but the first to enter the French fleet.
43
00:03:00,940 --> 00:03:01,880
- It's a revolution.
44
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,360
It is a step change in the industry
45
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:05,790
like we've never seen before.
46
00:03:05,790 --> 00:03:09,030
Many, many innovations,
many, many novel things
47
00:03:09,030 --> 00:03:10,130
that we have done with this airplane
48
00:03:10,130 --> 00:03:12,930
for the passenger, for the
airline, for the environment.
49
00:03:15,660 --> 00:03:18,380
- This aircraft is
smaller than the Airbus 380
50
00:03:18,380 --> 00:03:19,833
or the Boeing 777.
51
00:03:20,980 --> 00:03:22,980
But like them, it is capable of reaching
52
00:03:22,980 --> 00:03:25,123
extremely far-off destinations.
53
00:03:27,010 --> 00:03:30,190
Consequently, the 787
allows airline companies
54
00:03:30,190 --> 00:03:32,740
to open up routes which were
not previously financially
55
00:03:32,740 --> 00:03:34,560
viable for long-haul.
56
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,959
For example, Singapore
57
00:03:36,959 --> 00:03:38,910
or .
58
00:03:38,910 --> 00:03:42,180
Thanks to this aircraft,
130 new routes like these
59
00:03:42,180 --> 00:03:43,253
have been opened up.
60
00:03:51,770 --> 00:03:53,750
It's aerodynamics and lightness
61
00:03:53,750 --> 00:03:56,122
provide astonishing maneuverability.
62
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,370
The 787 is the fruit of more
than five year's research
63
00:04:07,370 --> 00:04:10,823
and development in conjunction
with leading industries.
64
00:04:13,110 --> 00:04:15,320
From the base model, Boeing has produced
65
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,313
several versions of the 787.
66
00:04:20,390 --> 00:04:22,090
- Boeing is
marketing three versions,
67
00:04:22,090 --> 00:04:25,470
the 787-8 -9 and -10.
68
00:04:25,470 --> 00:04:27,270
The differentiating feature between them
69
00:04:27,270 --> 00:04:29,220
is simply the length of the fuselage.
70
00:04:29,220 --> 00:04:32,290
There is approximately a six
meter section added by model,
71
00:04:32,290 --> 00:04:35,085
so the -9 is six meters longer than the -8
72
00:04:35,085 --> 00:04:37,427
and the -10 is six meters
longer than the -9.
73
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,390
- The largest
one can accommodate
74
00:04:41,390 --> 00:04:43,293
up to 330 passengers.
75
00:04:44,300 --> 00:04:47,923
The six meter shorter one
can carry 290 passengers.
76
00:04:49,870 --> 00:04:54,870
Finally, the smallest 787-8
can take 242 passengers.
77
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,023
Air France has chosen the
-9 for its first model.
78
00:05:04,460 --> 00:05:07,190
This Dreamliner is just 63 meters long
79
00:05:09,670 --> 00:05:12,290
with a wingspan of 60 meters,
80
00:05:12,290 --> 00:05:17,220
but it can fly up to
15,750 kilometers nonstop,
81
00:05:17,220 --> 00:05:18,570
more or less the equivalent
82
00:05:18,570 --> 00:05:20,573
of three Paris to New York flights.
83
00:05:23,970 --> 00:05:26,210
But before the Air France
team can take flight
84
00:05:26,210 --> 00:05:30,380
with this 787, a little
formality needs to be sorted out.
85
00:05:30,380 --> 00:05:35,320
Payment in cash, a transaction
which we've exceptionally
86
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:36,463
been allowed to film.
87
00:05:38,350 --> 00:05:42,693
The base price for each
aircraft is 230 million dollars.
88
00:05:44,940 --> 00:05:49,210
Here in this room, Air France
authorizes the transfer.
89
00:05:49,210 --> 00:05:51,420
The Boeing representative
is waiting for the moment
90
00:05:51,420 --> 00:05:55,643
when the sum appears
on their account, live.
91
00:05:58,232 --> 00:05:59,560
- Now
we're waiting for Boeing
92
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,720
to come back into the
room and confirm reception
93
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,300
of the payment on their account.
94
00:06:03,300 --> 00:06:05,923
So Suzanne should be back
in five to ten minutes.
95
00:06:10,682 --> 00:06:13,210
- It's always a slightly
96
00:06:13,210 --> 00:06:14,623
stressful moment.
97
00:06:15,745 --> 00:06:17,323
- It looks
as though things are moving.
98
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:19,800
- That's it.
99
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,530
The money has arrived on Boeing's account
100
00:06:22,530 --> 00:06:25,100
and like at a solicitors,
the buyer and the seller
101
00:06:25,100 --> 00:06:27,010
finalize the sale.
102
00:06:27,010 --> 00:06:29,830
Just for the record, this
contract is for the equivalent
103
00:06:29,830 --> 00:06:32,483
of 1,500 Porsche Luxury Models.
104
00:06:33,630 --> 00:06:35,770
As of this moment, the aircraft is legally
105
00:06:35,770 --> 00:06:38,033
the responsibility of the French company.
106
00:06:41,660 --> 00:06:43,850
Now the Boeing representative
can symbolically
107
00:06:43,850 --> 00:06:46,683
hand over the keys to the Boeing 787.
108
00:06:49,642 --> 00:06:50,600
- Well done.
109
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,050
The first aircraft delivered.
110
00:06:52,940 --> 00:06:55,830
We can tell the on-board
teams to start preparations
111
00:06:55,830 --> 00:06:56,663
for the flight.
112
00:06:58,410 --> 00:07:00,683
Then we just have to
take her back to Paris.
113
00:07:03,650 --> 00:07:05,410
- On the
tarmac, the inauguration
114
00:07:05,410 --> 00:07:06,243
can take place.
115
00:07:07,210 --> 00:07:09,210
The highest representatives
of the two companies
116
00:07:09,210 --> 00:07:11,000
are side by side.
117
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,933
The sense of pride is palpable.
118
00:07:26,696 --> 00:07:29,830
Two hours later, the French
crew is onboard the 787,
119
00:07:29,830 --> 00:07:31,063
ready for takeoff.
120
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:33,370
- Okay,
captain, are we clear
121
00:07:33,370 --> 00:07:34,853
to disconnect external power?
122
00:07:36,129 --> 00:07:38,379
- Bye, thanks a lot.
123
00:07:43,050 --> 00:07:44,250
- We can go.
124
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,230
- The flight to
Paris will take nine hours.
125
00:07:49,230 --> 00:07:51,500
This is known as a ferry flight.
126
00:07:51,500 --> 00:07:55,160
It is strictly reserved for
Air France team members,
127
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,863
specially trained pilots,
directors, project leaders.
128
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,550
This is the first time that the company
129
00:08:03,550 --> 00:08:04,853
accepts being filmed.
130
00:08:08,463 --> 00:08:09,833
- Is everything going well?
131
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,427
I see you're having fun.
132
00:08:13,427 --> 00:08:14,400
- It's our first flight
133
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:15,363
on a new airplane.
134
00:08:16,784 --> 00:08:17,843
- It's beautiful.
135
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,757
It's expensive, but it's beautiful.
136
00:08:21,757 --> 00:08:23,073
- Thanks for writing the check.
137
00:08:24,430 --> 00:08:25,740
- The aircraft's engines
138
00:08:25,740 --> 00:08:27,363
are astonishingly powerful.
139
00:08:29,250 --> 00:08:31,960
If one of the two engines
were to break down in flight,
140
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,110
the other one would be
able to power the aircraft
141
00:08:34,110 --> 00:08:36,243
all alone for more than five hours.
142
00:08:43,810 --> 00:08:45,850
Even though Boeing is the constructor,
143
00:08:45,850 --> 00:08:47,920
the French company
plays a determining role
144
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,323
in the choice of engines.
145
00:08:50,719 --> 00:08:52,730
- Add-on
companies have a choice
146
00:08:52,730 --> 00:08:55,590
between two types of engine,
either the General Electric
147
00:08:55,590 --> 00:08:56,510
or Rolls-Royce.
148
00:08:56,510 --> 00:08:59,110
Air France and KLM have
chosen General Electric
149
00:08:59,110 --> 00:09:00,673
for their aircraft purchases.
150
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,320
- The two
engines are the GEnx models
151
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:06,973
built by General Electric.
152
00:09:09,890 --> 00:09:13,453
These engines are equipped
with 18 carbon-fiber blades.
153
00:09:15,900 --> 00:09:18,970
Over a period of 20 years,
these GEnx should be able
154
00:09:18,970 --> 00:09:23,073
to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions by 77 million tons.
155
00:09:29,150 --> 00:09:31,810
These engines are more
powerful and yet lighter
156
00:09:31,810 --> 00:09:33,053
than the old generation.
157
00:09:36,150 --> 00:09:37,540
Aluminum has been replaced
158
00:09:37,540 --> 00:09:39,973
by more resistant composite materials.
159
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,220
- These engines
consume much less fuel,
160
00:09:46,220 --> 00:09:49,820
thanks to new technology,
and particularity by the use
161
00:09:49,820 --> 00:09:51,663
of new composite materials.
162
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:56,950
- The work carried
out in the General Electric
163
00:09:56,950 --> 00:09:59,360
factories is gigantic.
164
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,323
Each engine requires thousands
of parts to be assembled.
165
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,610
One of the characteristics of this engine,
166
00:10:06,610 --> 00:10:09,550
far fewer hydraulic and pneumatic systems,
167
00:10:09,550 --> 00:10:11,463
and far more electrical systems.
168
00:10:16,310 --> 00:10:18,273
Composite materials make it lighter,
169
00:10:19,260 --> 00:10:21,473
100 kilograms less per engine.
170
00:10:25,570 --> 00:10:28,050
And each kilo less represents a saving
171
00:10:28,050 --> 00:10:29,793
of hundreds of liters of fuel.
172
00:10:36,350 --> 00:10:39,233
These engines undergo
a vast range of tests.
173
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:44,230
One very impressive example,
thousands of liters of water
174
00:10:44,230 --> 00:10:47,923
injected to simulate a
storm or a saturated runway.
175
00:10:55,070 --> 00:10:59,330
These GEnx engines are more
robust and easier to maintain.
176
00:10:59,330 --> 00:11:02,220
In contrast to aluminum,
these composite materials
177
00:11:02,220 --> 00:11:03,293
do not corrode.
178
00:11:05,770 --> 00:11:09,800
Another advantage, this
engine gives off 15% less CO2
179
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,003
than it's predecessor.
180
00:11:18,790 --> 00:11:19,810
- Added to this, of course,
181
00:11:19,810 --> 00:11:22,560
is the environmental aspect
which is considerable
182
00:11:22,560 --> 00:11:25,600
because this engine makes much less noise.
183
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,870
You can see at the back of
the engine these tooth-shaped
184
00:11:27,870 --> 00:11:30,020
chevrons which reduce noise emission,
185
00:11:30,020 --> 00:11:33,033
which is very important for
people living near airports.
186
00:11:40,180 --> 00:11:42,360
- Another strong
point of the Dreamliner
187
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:43,823
is it's aerodynamics.
188
00:11:44,930 --> 00:11:47,250
One of the striking things
when you see this aircraft
189
00:11:47,250 --> 00:11:50,570
for the first time is its
extremely elegant design,
190
00:11:50,570 --> 00:11:52,423
particularly regarding the wings.
191
00:11:54,420 --> 00:11:56,130
- Obviously
this particularly fluid
192
00:11:56,130 --> 00:11:58,870
wing shape, combined with
curves which we're not used to
193
00:11:58,870 --> 00:12:02,393
seeing in an aircraft wing,
is not purely decorative.
194
00:12:04,130 --> 00:12:06,310
It also represents a marked improvement
195
00:12:06,310 --> 00:12:08,083
in aerodynamic performance.
196
00:12:11,940 --> 00:12:13,855
- At Air
France, they use the word
197
00:12:13,855 --> 00:12:15,490
to designate everything
198
00:12:15,490 --> 00:12:19,270
pertaining to the wings of an
aircraft, wings which improve
199
00:12:19,270 --> 00:12:22,320
the way of sliding through
the atmosphere and pilots
200
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,723
are first in line to
recognize this progress.
201
00:12:26,870 --> 00:12:28,410
- One
particularity is the wing design
202
00:12:28,410 --> 00:12:31,463
of this 787, which looks
a bit like a feather.
203
00:12:33,170 --> 00:12:36,010
The wing tips make you think of an eagle.
204
00:12:36,010 --> 00:12:37,810
This element represents
a great improvement
205
00:12:37,810 --> 00:12:38,913
in terms of lift.
206
00:12:39,790 --> 00:12:41,943
I'm tempted to say it's like a glider.
207
00:12:47,090 --> 00:12:49,210
- One revolutionary
element of these wings
208
00:12:49,210 --> 00:12:50,823
is the tips,
209
00:12:53,230 --> 00:12:55,483
this upward curve at the extremity.
210
00:12:58,810 --> 00:13:00,710
- What you'll see is the wing tips,
211
00:13:00,710 --> 00:13:03,690
they start to bend right at takeoff.
212
00:13:03,690 --> 00:13:07,300
And then you will see the
tip of the wing that bends
213
00:13:07,300 --> 00:13:10,660
almost 10 feet above the
horizontal line of the wing.
214
00:13:10,660 --> 00:13:12,027
And that is by design.
215
00:13:13,820 --> 00:13:15,670
- These new
materials make the wings
216
00:13:15,670 --> 00:13:16,883
amazingly supple.
217
00:13:18,270 --> 00:13:20,180
The design engineers took inspiration
218
00:13:20,180 --> 00:13:21,903
from the morphology of the eagle.
219
00:13:26,820 --> 00:13:28,770
During the Seattle to Paris flight,
220
00:13:28,770 --> 00:13:31,830
we meet up with one of the
new aircraft's key engineers.
221
00:13:31,830 --> 00:13:34,470
For three years, she has
concentrated on every detail
222
00:13:34,470 --> 00:13:35,323
of the cabin.
223
00:13:36,780 --> 00:13:38,440
- I've
worked with maintenance,
224
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,460
the supplier, with an
agronomist, to achieve result
225
00:13:41,460 --> 00:13:43,700
where we offer one of the
best seats on the market
226
00:13:43,700 --> 00:13:45,460
in terms of comfort.
227
00:13:45,460 --> 00:13:47,510
The shell is fixed, as you can see.
228
00:13:47,510 --> 00:13:49,580
When I recline, I don't
encroach on the space
229
00:13:49,580 --> 00:13:51,323
of the person seated behind me.
230
00:13:52,830 --> 00:13:55,860
- This is primarily
for premium economy class,
231
00:13:55,860 --> 00:13:58,850
an intermediary class
between economy and business,
232
00:13:58,850 --> 00:14:00,233
which has been rethought.
233
00:14:01,490 --> 00:14:04,070
The seats can be reclined further
234
00:14:04,070 --> 00:14:07,723
and are wider, 51 centimeters.
235
00:14:08,780 --> 00:14:11,293
The space between the
rows has been increased.
236
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,500
- We've added
seven degrees of rake.
237
00:14:16,500 --> 00:14:19,270
It's also much wider by
two and a half centimeters.
238
00:14:19,270 --> 00:14:21,220
There's about five
centimeters more leg room
239
00:14:21,220 --> 00:14:23,120
to allow you to stretch your legs out.
240
00:14:25,050 --> 00:14:26,360
- Thousands of man hours
241
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,153
went into developing this cabin.
242
00:14:33,830 --> 00:14:36,340
While the company personnel
relaxed for a while,
243
00:14:36,340 --> 00:14:38,290
the pilot in command offers to take us
244
00:14:38,290 --> 00:14:40,023
through the cockpit innovations.
245
00:14:42,170 --> 00:14:45,100
In the cockpit, the major
newcomer is the HUD,
246
00:14:45,100 --> 00:14:47,323
which is short for head-up display,
247
00:14:48,630 --> 00:14:51,630
technology straight out
of fighter aircraft,
248
00:14:51,630 --> 00:14:53,753
an interactive transparent screen.
249
00:15:01,220 --> 00:15:03,673
- The HUD has
been around for a few years now.
250
00:15:05,300 --> 00:15:07,710
It allows you without lowering your head
251
00:15:07,710 --> 00:15:10,530
to have within your field
of vision a vast majority
252
00:15:10,530 --> 00:15:12,573
of information necessary for flying.
253
00:15:14,700 --> 00:15:18,050
In particular, your current
latitude, your trajectory,
254
00:15:18,050 --> 00:15:20,103
your altitude, speed and direction.
255
00:15:23,190 --> 00:15:25,770
It's something really
agreeable because it allows you
256
00:15:25,770 --> 00:15:27,830
to be visually on the exterior,
257
00:15:27,830 --> 00:15:29,633
but still with your flight details.
258
00:15:33,950 --> 00:15:36,050
- The HUD
isn't the only innovation
259
00:15:36,050 --> 00:15:37,360
in the cockpit.
260
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,430
All the screens and communication
and surveillance systems
261
00:15:40,430 --> 00:15:41,563
have been rethought.
262
00:15:42,530 --> 00:15:44,710
Electronics allow the
position of the aircraft
263
00:15:44,710 --> 00:15:46,543
to be pinpointed in real time.
264
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,040
- In the past
you had huge paper maps.
265
00:15:52,990 --> 00:15:55,710
The world was divided into
a certain number of sectors
266
00:15:56,580 --> 00:15:59,660
and you cut all your map
and drew out the route
267
00:15:59,660 --> 00:16:00,810
so you could follow it.
268
00:16:03,170 --> 00:16:04,970
With electronics, it's much simpler.
269
00:16:07,090 --> 00:16:09,670
So here, for example,
you have a cardiographic
270
00:16:09,670 --> 00:16:11,903
representation of the
route being followed.
271
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:14,990
You can see that we're over Greenland.
272
00:16:14,990 --> 00:16:16,780
You can swipe through.
273
00:16:16,780 --> 00:16:18,440
All this is the route
that we'll be following
274
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,023
up to our arrival in Paris.
275
00:16:23,970 --> 00:16:26,540
- The days of
mechanical on-board instruments,
276
00:16:26,540 --> 00:16:29,223
altimeters, compasses, are now behind us.
277
00:16:32,550 --> 00:16:36,310
Finance and ecology are
other major considerations.
278
00:16:36,310 --> 00:16:37,483
Fuel economy.
279
00:16:39,820 --> 00:16:43,313
Never has a long-haul aircraft
had lower fuel consumption.
280
00:16:46,530 --> 00:16:49,390
- Here you can
see our average consumption,
281
00:16:49,390 --> 00:16:50,463
the fuel flow.
282
00:16:52,430 --> 00:16:54,050
This is our fuel gage.
283
00:16:54,050 --> 00:16:57,710
You can see we're using 2.
tons per engine per hour,
284
00:16:57,710 --> 00:17:00,393
giving us a total of 4.4 tons per hour.
285
00:17:02,010 --> 00:17:06,233
By comparison, a 777 consumes
about seven tons per hour.
286
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,453
- This represents
a considerable saving in fuel.
287
00:17:20,650 --> 00:17:23,130
The lower consumption is partly explained
288
00:17:23,130 --> 00:17:24,693
by the weight of the aircraft.
289
00:17:28,150 --> 00:17:31,343
The Dreamliner is much lighter
than it's predecessors.
290
00:17:33,290 --> 00:17:36,893
This is due to the extensive
use of composite materials,
291
00:17:38,430 --> 00:17:41,340
principally carbon, which is notably used
292
00:17:41,340 --> 00:17:43,233
throughout the aircraft's fuselage.
293
00:17:44,860 --> 00:17:46,750
- This
is the major innovation
294
00:17:46,750 --> 00:17:50,560
in new generation aircraft,
the extensive use of materials
295
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,230
such as carbon.
296
00:17:52,230 --> 00:17:55,240
With this aircraft, you
have more than 50% carbon,
297
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,760
20% aluminum and 15% titanium.
298
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,560
This combination has made it possible
299
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,610
to considerably reduce
the mass of the aircraft
300
00:18:03,610 --> 00:18:05,553
and thereby reduce fuel consumption.
301
00:18:07,170 --> 00:18:09,423
- For example,
the jets engines.
302
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,990
The central cylinder is made of carbon.
303
00:18:12,990 --> 00:18:16,110
This is also the case with
the wings and el-rons,
304
00:18:16,110 --> 00:18:19,110
as well as the central
structure of the aircraft.
305
00:18:19,110 --> 00:18:21,790
Being much lighter, these
materials make it possible
306
00:18:21,790 --> 00:18:24,400
to reduce fuel consumption considerably.
307
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,260
No aircraft has ever been made up
308
00:18:26,260 --> 00:18:28,133
of so much composite material.
309
00:18:31,300 --> 00:18:32,380
- It's
really quite something
310
00:18:32,380 --> 00:18:33,833
in terms of economy.
311
00:18:35,270 --> 00:18:38,220
Because of it's weight,
with more or less the same
312
00:18:38,220 --> 00:18:42,780
passenger and baggage
load, it consumes 20% less
313
00:18:42,780 --> 00:18:46,683
than the Airbus 340 with
a similar cabin capacity.
314
00:18:53,449 --> 00:18:55,060
- Another major
advantage with carbon
315
00:18:55,060 --> 00:18:57,883
is that wear and tear is
much less than with aluminum.
316
00:19:01,420 --> 00:19:03,870
With aircrafts of earlier generations,
317
00:19:03,870 --> 00:19:07,063
amongst the worst enemies
are humidity and corrosion.
318
00:19:12,510 --> 00:19:15,800
- Composites also don't
corrode, so the fuselage
319
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,320
being the primary structure
made out of composites,
320
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,990
does not corrode, which
lowers the maintenance cost
321
00:19:22,990 --> 00:19:25,890
of the airplane and extends
the life of the airplane.
322
00:19:25,890 --> 00:19:29,080
A metal airplane typically has a lifecycle
323
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,520
of 25 to 30 years.
324
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:32,890
When you look at the basic structure,
325
00:19:32,890 --> 00:19:35,823
it could easily run 50, 60, 70, 80 years.
326
00:19:37,940 --> 00:19:40,090
- Much cheaper maintenance.
327
00:19:40,090 --> 00:19:44,503
A total overhaul of a 747
requires 40 thousand man hours.
328
00:19:46,420 --> 00:19:49,083
A Dreamliner inspection
needs only three thousand.
329
00:19:55,420 --> 00:19:59,400
The Dreamliner is the most
electric aircraft ever built.
330
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,343
That's what makes it so light
and environment friendly.
331
00:20:03,290 --> 00:20:05,550
Electrical systems are
replacing more and more
332
00:20:05,550 --> 00:20:08,310
of the old mechanical
and hydraulic systems,
333
00:20:08,310 --> 00:20:09,623
pumps, piping.
334
00:20:12,230 --> 00:20:14,910
- Technologically,
the evolution is huge
335
00:20:14,910 --> 00:20:17,700
because the 787 makes
great use of electricity
336
00:20:17,700 --> 00:20:19,770
for all its systems.
337
00:20:19,770 --> 00:20:21,307
For example, the starter is electric
338
00:20:21,307 --> 00:20:23,400
and the brakes are electric.
339
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,080
In the past, brakes were hydraulic,
340
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:26,463
starters were pneumatic.
341
00:20:28,231 --> 00:20:29,480
The extensive use of electricity
342
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,320
means there are a lot of generators.
343
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,430
Why so many on-board generators
and electrical systems?
344
00:20:34,430 --> 00:20:35,913
Because it saves on weight.
345
00:20:39,370 --> 00:20:41,410
- Another
innovation, each engine
346
00:20:41,410 --> 00:20:43,770
incorporates two generators.
347
00:20:43,770 --> 00:20:47,010
These generators supply
electrical distribution units,
348
00:20:47,010 --> 00:20:48,643
shown her in yellow.
349
00:20:50,350 --> 00:20:52,900
Electricity is thereby
used for the radars,
350
00:20:52,900 --> 00:20:55,800
deicing the wings, pressurizing the cabin,
351
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,453
and innumerous other functions.
352
00:20:59,700 --> 00:21:02,930
The systems being electric,
are making the airplane
353
00:21:02,930 --> 00:21:05,100
again very efficient, and
they're making the airplane
354
00:21:05,100 --> 00:21:06,853
very environmentally friendly.
355
00:21:11,190 --> 00:21:12,740
- And for security reasons,
356
00:21:12,740 --> 00:21:15,563
all the Dreamliner's electrical
systems have a backup.
357
00:21:19,380 --> 00:21:22,023
Another challenge, passenger experience.
358
00:21:23,060 --> 00:21:25,130
What could be more
important for you on-board
359
00:21:25,130 --> 00:21:28,030
than WiFi access, being
able to watch films
360
00:21:28,030 --> 00:21:29,413
in the best conditions.
361
00:21:30,790 --> 00:21:32,500
Today the head of these new systems
362
00:21:32,500 --> 00:21:34,100
is carrying out in-flight tests.
363
00:21:37,336 --> 00:21:38,450
- Our
Boeing 777's were fitted
364
00:21:38,450 --> 00:21:39,733
with 9" screens.
365
00:21:42,500 --> 00:21:45,433
Here would have an 11" for
all economy-class passengers.
366
00:21:47,380 --> 00:21:50,440
Everything is touch screen
so passengers can browse,
367
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,740
just as they would with
a tablet or telephone.
368
00:21:56,654 --> 00:21:58,500
All sorts of entertainment is available,
369
00:21:58,500 --> 00:22:01,210
including a messaging application
for chatting with people
370
00:22:01,210 --> 00:22:02,610
in other parts of the plane.
371
00:22:06,060 --> 00:22:07,960
- But how can
you achieve an ultra-fast
372
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:09,763
Internet connection in mid-flight?
373
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,043
It has taken the latest technology.
374
00:22:16,235 --> 00:22:17,890
The central element of the
aircraft's connectivity
375
00:22:17,890 --> 00:22:20,633
is this hump in the shape of a rugby ball.
376
00:22:21,900 --> 00:22:24,250
It takes several mechanics to install it,
377
00:22:24,250 --> 00:22:26,500
engineers who climb on
the roof of the plane.
378
00:22:27,430 --> 00:22:29,830
It's this antenna which
relays all the passenger
379
00:22:29,830 --> 00:22:32,563
connections, television, email.
380
00:22:33,630 --> 00:22:36,580
During flight, it transmits
hundreds of megaoctets,
381
00:22:36,580 --> 00:22:38,703
of all types of data every minute.
382
00:22:41,335 --> 00:22:43,120
- One new thing in our fleet
383
00:22:43,120 --> 00:22:45,403
is the provision of WiFi onboard.
384
00:22:46,260 --> 00:22:48,990
All the -9's will be
equipped with WiFi so you
385
00:22:48,990 --> 00:22:51,853
can stay connected during
flight, send email.
386
00:22:53,990 --> 00:22:56,150
You can see on top of
the plane the antenna
387
00:22:56,150 --> 00:22:58,483
which provides satellite connection.
388
00:23:02,270 --> 00:23:04,490
- Through this
antenna situated on top
389
00:23:04,490 --> 00:23:08,073
of the fuselage, the 787
receives satellite signals.
390
00:23:10,738 --> 00:23:11,860
Satellites which relay data,
391
00:23:11,860 --> 00:23:13,923
send from antenna on the ground.
392
00:23:16,350 --> 00:23:19,070
This apparatus provides
unbroken connection
393
00:23:19,070 --> 00:23:20,853
for Dreamliner passengers.
394
00:23:25,850 --> 00:23:27,700
- Today we offer
the possibility to clients
395
00:23:27,700 --> 00:23:30,820
who say wish to remain
connected, the continue to work
396
00:23:30,820 --> 00:23:32,930
onboard the aircraft, to send email,
397
00:23:32,930 --> 00:23:35,810
to converse with friends
and family on the ground.
398
00:23:35,810 --> 00:23:38,620
It's been long-awaited and
it's just the first step
399
00:23:38,620 --> 00:23:41,680
because by 2020, the entire
Air France long-haul fleet
400
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,073
will have on-board WiFi.
401
00:23:45,350 --> 00:23:47,200
- Internet access will cost you
402
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,640
between five and 20 Euros
because this technology
403
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:54,260
requires considerable investment
in the space industry,
404
00:23:54,260 --> 00:23:57,893
the equivalent of 500
thousand Euros per aircraft.
405
00:23:59,500 --> 00:24:04,500
- Five,
four, three, two, one.
406
00:24:05,300 --> 00:24:06,890
We have main engines--
407
00:24:06,890 --> 00:24:08,860
- Rockets are
needed to place satellites
408
00:24:08,860 --> 00:24:11,223
at 36 thousand kilometers from Earth.
409
00:24:12,570 --> 00:24:14,220
It's no coincidence that Boeing
410
00:24:14,220 --> 00:24:16,523
is strongly developing its space sector.
411
00:24:17,550 --> 00:24:19,773
They're investing billions of dollars.
412
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,390
The ferry flight is coming to an end.
413
00:24:32,390 --> 00:24:34,620
At daybreak, the passengers take advantage
414
00:24:34,620 --> 00:24:36,550
of one of the new features which Boeing
415
00:24:36,550 --> 00:24:40,713
is most proud of, the Dreamliner's
revolutionary windows.
416
00:24:45,030 --> 00:24:46,630
- It's great.
417
00:24:46,630 --> 00:24:48,200
The windows are very large,
418
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,433
giving you a wide view on the exterior.
419
00:25:00,860 --> 00:25:04,310
- Big windows, bigger like
anything you've ever seen.
420
00:25:04,310 --> 00:25:07,640
No other airplane has
windows that big that are low
421
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,120
so when you sit in your
seat, you can actually view
422
00:25:10,120 --> 00:25:12,973
the horizon and it gives
you this sense of openness.
423
00:25:14,940 --> 00:25:16,720
Particular care has been taken
424
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,840
over the size of these windows.
425
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,363
They've been enlarged by 30%.
426
00:25:25,330 --> 00:25:28,333
But these windows are equipped
with a technological first.
427
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,440
A so-called electrochromic
system makes it possible
428
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,753
to vary the opacity of the plexiglass.
429
00:25:39,970 --> 00:25:42,360
The result is that luminosity of the cabin
430
00:25:42,360 --> 00:25:44,323
can be changed at the push of a button.
431
00:25:46,980 --> 00:25:49,570
- Even the
windows include new technology.
432
00:25:49,570 --> 00:25:52,080
On this aircraft, the
traditional window blinds
433
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:53,123
have been removed.
434
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,710
With the help of a small
button, an electrical system
435
00:25:57,710 --> 00:26:00,950
varies the color of the
crystals and reduces window
436
00:26:00,950 --> 00:26:04,643
transparency to provide a
nighttime effect in the cabin.
437
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,550
- How can
seemingly ordinary glass
438
00:26:09,550 --> 00:26:11,203
provide variable luminosity?
439
00:26:12,270 --> 00:26:14,450
These windows of the
future are manufactured
440
00:26:14,450 --> 00:26:15,993
in this American factory.
441
00:26:17,970 --> 00:26:21,830
First stage, coat the
windows with a special gel,
442
00:26:21,830 --> 00:26:23,803
gel which is an electrical conductor.
443
00:26:25,270 --> 00:26:27,880
These windows are then
inspected manually to make sure
444
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,343
the conducting gel has
been perfectly applied.
445
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,423
They are then cut into an oval shape.
446
00:26:38,660 --> 00:26:40,630
They then pass through lasers to ensure
447
00:26:40,630 --> 00:26:41,903
there are no defects.
448
00:26:44,430 --> 00:26:47,173
Last stage, two panes are put together.
449
00:26:48,030 --> 00:26:50,683
Electrochromic fluid is
inserted between them,
450
00:26:51,910 --> 00:26:54,943
a liquid which darkens depending
on the electric impulses.
451
00:27:00,420 --> 00:27:02,740
- In the past,
to create complete darkness
452
00:27:02,740 --> 00:27:05,520
in the aircraft, the window
blinds had to be lowered,
453
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,310
which appears obsolete when
you look at the windows
454
00:27:08,310 --> 00:27:13,310
of the 787, which have
chromatic variation.
455
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,570
The passengers have five
chromatic variations.
456
00:27:16,570 --> 00:27:18,743
You can pass from day to night.
457
00:27:20,660 --> 00:27:21,700
- It's a revolution.
458
00:27:21,700 --> 00:27:24,300
The customer is finally
master of the light intensity
459
00:27:24,300 --> 00:27:27,530
he wishes to have in the
cabin, which is a technological
460
00:27:27,530 --> 00:27:30,463
revolution and also in
customer experience.
461
00:27:33,630 --> 00:27:35,740
- Another
advantage of this new system,
462
00:27:35,740 --> 00:27:37,760
cabin staff will no
longer need to bother you
463
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:39,513
to open the blinds during flight.
464
00:27:42,340 --> 00:27:44,510
The crew can decide
upon the amount of light
465
00:27:44,510 --> 00:27:45,573
entering the cabin.
466
00:27:49,820 --> 00:27:51,590
- The flight
attendants can also control
467
00:27:51,590 --> 00:27:53,943
all the cabin windows
from their command post.
468
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,860
The aircraft is divided into
three left and right zones,
469
00:27:59,860 --> 00:28:01,923
making six independent zones.
470
00:28:04,170 --> 00:28:07,340
They can choose these
zones or the whole cabin
471
00:28:07,340 --> 00:28:10,123
and on this side choose the
level of window luminosity.
472
00:28:11,340 --> 00:28:15,823
Five for totally opaque
and one for totally clear.
473
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:25,740
- After nine hours of flight,
474
00:28:25,740 --> 00:28:28,510
the first 787 bought by the French company
475
00:28:28,510 --> 00:28:30,007
will land at .
476
00:28:32,700 --> 00:28:34,410
- Hello, everyone.
477
00:28:34,410 --> 00:28:36,560
I hope you've all
managed to get some rest.
478
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,090
We are about to begin our descent.
479
00:28:40,090 --> 00:28:42,430
I would just like to say what
a pleasure it's been for us
480
00:28:42,430 --> 00:28:44,730
to share this homeward
flight with all of you.
481
00:28:45,850 --> 00:28:47,283
Please fly with us again.
482
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,510
- On the
ground, on the concourses
483
00:28:52,510 --> 00:28:56,370
facing the runway, dozens of
airport employees, journalists,
484
00:28:56,370 --> 00:28:59,373
and aeronautic fans
discover the Dreamliner.
485
00:29:03,550 --> 00:29:04,383
- This is the first time
486
00:29:04,383 --> 00:29:06,843
that an Air France 787
has landed in Paris.
487
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:11,100
Yes, it's a very emotional
first for everyone,
488
00:29:11,100 --> 00:29:12,390
for all the employees.
489
00:29:12,390 --> 00:29:14,380
It's quite a rare event.
490
00:29:14,380 --> 00:29:16,180
It's going to come in from this direction.
491
00:29:16,180 --> 00:29:18,480
Touchdown will be on this runway.
492
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:19,383
This must be it.
493
00:29:22,650 --> 00:29:23,483
That's it.
494
00:29:44,850 --> 00:29:46,910
- It is 9:10 local time.
495
00:29:46,910 --> 00:29:48,823
The temperature is four degrees.
496
00:29:51,690 --> 00:29:53,510
Thank you for this beautiful journey
497
00:29:53,510 --> 00:29:55,083
and this great experience.
498
00:30:10,916 --> 00:30:11,850
- One of the pilots in command
499
00:30:11,850 --> 00:30:13,930
who has trained for
months to be able to pilot
500
00:30:13,930 --> 00:30:16,320
the new aircraft has
the privilege of raising
501
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:17,443
the French Colors.
502
00:30:38,490 --> 00:30:39,583
- Here we go.
503
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:43,480
- In keeping with tradition,
504
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,210
when a new aircraft enters the fleet,
505
00:30:45,210 --> 00:30:47,263
it is baptized by the fire department.
506
00:30:50,010 --> 00:30:51,200
- The weather's not great,
507
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,810
but this is magnificent, all the same.
508
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,230
- It took
hundreds, if not thousands,
509
00:31:18,230 --> 00:31:20,637
of hours of meetings
over the years with KLM
510
00:31:20,637 --> 00:31:24,180
and the different suppliers
to prepare the arrival
511
00:31:24,180 --> 00:31:26,700
of this aircraft and the fleet.
512
00:31:26,700 --> 00:31:29,160
Naturally, all our
procedures have to be adapted
513
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:30,663
to this technology.
514
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,135
- No sooner has
this very flight landed
515
00:31:34,135 --> 00:31:36,633
that a new challenge
awaits the Dreamliner.
516
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:42,470
It must be ready to take off
for Cairo in 15 days time,
517
00:31:42,470 --> 00:31:44,100
not one day longer.
518
00:31:44,100 --> 00:31:47,533
Each day's immobility costs
tens of thousands of Euros.
519
00:31:53,020 --> 00:31:55,380
Over these two weeks, we
will show you how the new
520
00:31:55,380 --> 00:31:57,873
Dreamliner is taken in-hand at the immense
521
00:31:57,873 --> 00:31:59,673
airport.
522
00:32:03,890 --> 00:32:06,310
We will follow the
mechanics and the pilots,
523
00:32:06,310 --> 00:32:09,930
but also the aeronautic
specialists, the VIPs,
524
00:32:09,930 --> 00:32:12,793
as they gradually come to
grips with this new Boeing.
525
00:32:19,910 --> 00:32:22,960
The next day, the 787 is
taken to the airport's
526
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:24,200
maintenance hangers.
527
00:32:26,540 --> 00:32:28,520
For the few mechanics
who've been privileged
528
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,950
with initiation into this new aircraft,
529
00:32:30,950 --> 00:32:32,693
it's a day to remember.
530
00:32:35,940 --> 00:32:37,673
- They're all
gonna see the plane, I told you.
531
00:32:38,788 --> 00:32:40,780
- is a mechanic.
532
00:32:40,780 --> 00:32:43,280
He's been following special
training for several months
533
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,913
to learn the maintenance
techniques for Dreamliner.
534
00:32:48,130 --> 00:32:49,170
- The
time comes when you say,
535
00:32:49,170 --> 00:32:50,680
I need something tangible.
536
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,400
I need to get my hands on it,
537
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,160
to see what it actually looks like.
538
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,630
Because pictures are
fine, it's good to see it
539
00:32:56,630 --> 00:33:00,440
on the screen, but now
let's see it in the flesh.
540
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:01,890
Let's listen to it, touch it.
541
00:33:03,270 --> 00:33:05,680
- In two
weeks, this 787 is down
542
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:07,363
for its first commercial flight.
543
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,300
But what if there's a problem?
544
00:33:12,300 --> 00:33:13,333
Engine failure.
545
00:33:15,370 --> 00:33:17,300
The mechanics have only a few days
546
00:33:17,300 --> 00:33:19,663
in which to perfectly
master the new machine.
547
00:33:21,980 --> 00:33:24,650
But also to adapt this
Boeing to Air France
548
00:33:24,650 --> 00:33:28,453
specific standards,
particularly concerning safety.
549
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:31,970
- Since the plane's arrival,
550
00:33:31,970 --> 00:33:34,490
we've been adapting it to our standards,
551
00:33:34,490 --> 00:33:38,270
what is know as PDM,
post-delivery modification.
552
00:33:38,270 --> 00:33:40,530
It needs to be brought
in line with the rest
553
00:33:40,530 --> 00:33:41,883
of the Air France fleet.
554
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:45,670
This morning,
555
00:33:45,670 --> 00:33:48,890
has to replace the oxygen
cylinders supplied by Boeing
556
00:33:48,890 --> 00:33:50,750
with the Air France ones.
557
00:33:50,750 --> 00:33:53,833
With this key safety element,
nothing can be left to chance.
558
00:33:55,470 --> 00:33:56,960
- So we check the conformity,
559
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:58,900
make sure it's the right one.
560
00:33:58,900 --> 00:34:00,253
Okay, I can fit it.
561
00:34:03,090 --> 00:34:03,923
There.
562
00:34:05,020 --> 00:34:06,490
It's for the O2 masks.
563
00:34:06,490 --> 00:34:08,130
They're connected directly to the bottle,
564
00:34:08,130 --> 00:34:09,720
so the passengers can breathe.
565
00:34:09,720 --> 00:34:14,293
We take it, we connect it to
the bottle and there you are.
566
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,807
The person can breathe through
it as soon as it's connected
567
00:34:17,807 --> 00:34:19,500
and the bottle is turned on.
568
00:34:19,500 --> 00:34:21,500
Right now they're turned off, of course.
569
00:34:23,530 --> 00:34:24,960
- In accordance with the rules,
570
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,380
every operation is written
down and verified twice.
571
00:34:28,380 --> 00:34:31,173
In aeronautics, this is
known as reiteration.
572
00:34:34,140 --> 00:34:36,980
- It's a beautiful
bird and we're fond of it.
573
00:34:36,980 --> 00:34:38,280
We're proud to work on it.
574
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,360
- Even with a new
aircraft, anything can happen.
575
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,640
This type of machine is a
high-precision jigsaw puzzle,
576
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,973
which is incredibly complex mechanically.
577
00:34:57,270 --> 00:35:00,510
In the later stages of
development, the first 787s
578
00:35:00,510 --> 00:35:03,350
came up again numerous complications.
579
00:35:03,350 --> 00:35:06,080
When they first came into service in 2011,
580
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:09,393
Boeing had to recall and ground
several of these aircrafts.
581
00:35:10,940 --> 00:35:13,323
This inactivity cost the company dearly.
582
00:35:16,030 --> 00:35:18,930
Engineers had to solve a number
of technical difficulties.
583
00:35:22,820 --> 00:35:26,693
Issues with the electric brakes,
with the new landing gear,
584
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:29,943
with the engine starters,
585
00:35:33,930 --> 00:35:36,280
and major difficulties with the aircraft's
586
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:37,933
batteries which overheated.
587
00:35:42,070 --> 00:35:46,160
Between 2011 and 2013, teams
from all around the world
588
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,803
collaborated to solve
these problems in a year.
589
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,320
To show you another aspect of preparation,
590
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,290
we received special
authorization to enter this part
591
00:36:01,290 --> 00:36:02,157
of .
592
00:36:09,630 --> 00:36:12,250
How do crews prepare
for emergency situations
593
00:36:12,250 --> 00:36:13,543
on the new aircraft?
594
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,420
How can accidents be anticipated?
595
00:36:17,420 --> 00:36:19,233
This is where the crews train.
596
00:36:20,610 --> 00:36:22,950
A cabin, identical to that of a Boeing,
597
00:36:22,950 --> 00:36:25,610
is mounted on huge hydraulic pumps.
598
00:36:25,610 --> 00:36:28,683
This turbulence simulator
emulates possible accidents.
599
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:34,240
Storms, violent air pockets,
water landing in rough seas.
600
00:36:34,240 --> 00:36:37,223
All these scenarios are
experienced by the pilots.
601
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:43,630
Today, it's Captain Serge Vito
602
00:36:43,630 --> 00:36:46,580
who has come to supervise crew
training for the new Boeing.
603
00:36:49,910 --> 00:36:51,420
- Today we're
lucky enough to have to first
604
00:36:51,420 --> 00:36:55,279
787 pilots, whose currently being trained.
605
00:36:55,279 --> 00:36:58,483
This is initial ground training
before going to London.
606
00:36:59,390 --> 00:37:00,980
They leave for London
next week to complete
607
00:37:00,980 --> 00:37:02,533
their training on a simulator.
608
00:37:07,070 --> 00:37:09,460
- Although not
frequent, fire is the number one
609
00:37:09,460 --> 00:37:11,053
enemy aborad an aircraft.
610
00:37:15,350 --> 00:37:17,880
So the first exercise
is to enter this cabin
611
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:19,683
where a fire is being simulated.
612
00:37:24,830 --> 00:37:27,510
The second stage, after
quickly putting on a mask
613
00:37:27,510 --> 00:37:30,030
and gloves, is to bring
the fire under control
614
00:37:30,030 --> 00:37:31,363
in a few seconds.
615
00:37:35,764 --> 00:37:37,730
- Look to make sure.
616
00:37:37,730 --> 00:37:38,763
Okay, we're good.
617
00:37:39,770 --> 00:37:41,523
Make sure there's no re-ignition.
618
00:37:42,890 --> 00:37:44,853
- There's
something relatively recent.
619
00:37:44,853 --> 00:37:47,400
There is now more and more
electrical material aboard,
620
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,770
and particularly lithium batteries.
621
00:37:49,770 --> 00:37:52,010
And spontaneous combustion has been seen,
622
00:37:52,010 --> 00:37:54,210
particularity in cases
where there's impact.
623
00:37:55,690 --> 00:37:58,900
Extinguishing a lithium
battery fire is very specific,
624
00:37:58,900 --> 00:38:01,200
with a special procedure
which includes cooling down
625
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,083
the object once the fire it out.
626
00:38:04,730 --> 00:38:06,450
- The next step is crucial.
627
00:38:06,450 --> 00:38:08,300
- After the
pilots, it's the turn
628
00:38:08,300 --> 00:38:10,600
of the cabin crew to go
through fire training.
629
00:38:16,222 --> 00:38:18,258
- This is control, over.
630
00:38:21,570 --> 00:38:23,520
What type of fire are you dealing with?
631
00:38:24,670 --> 00:38:25,813
A device on fire?
632
00:38:31,484 --> 00:38:34,400
- Yes,
an electronic device on fire.
633
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:35,973
Understood, make your way back.
634
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,920
- On the 787,
on-board WiFi access
635
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,483
favors the use of laptops and smartphones.
636
00:38:44,990 --> 00:38:47,010
And, as we have seen, with certain models,
637
00:38:47,010 --> 00:38:48,493
the risks are very real.
638
00:38:52,830 --> 00:38:56,300
Air hostesses, stewards, no
one flies without succeeding
639
00:38:56,300 --> 00:38:59,023
in these exercises and
obtaining a certificate.
640
00:39:03,777 --> 00:39:04,850
- Training is what our knowledge
641
00:39:04,850 --> 00:39:06,420
is based on.
642
00:39:06,420 --> 00:39:08,890
The more you go through the
procedures in the theoretical
643
00:39:08,890 --> 00:39:11,520
and also a practical way,
the more you integrate
644
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,560
the appropriate action
to take in the event
645
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:14,673
of a problem aboard.
646
00:39:19,471 --> 00:39:21,090
- In the meantime,
the Dreamliner pilots
647
00:39:21,090 --> 00:39:22,693
move on to the next stage.
648
00:39:23,900 --> 00:39:26,470
The trainer goes through
the use of emergency kits,
649
00:39:26,470 --> 00:39:28,883
in particular this new distress beacons.
650
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:33,310
- You pull on the button,
651
00:39:33,310 --> 00:39:36,400
now it's on auto-test mode,
652
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:38,043
and take it for positioning.
653
00:39:39,016 --> 00:39:40,900
- It's
precisely in this new safety
654
00:39:40,900 --> 00:39:44,820
equipment that the specificity
of the 787 can be seen.
655
00:39:44,820 --> 00:39:47,500
And this is an opportunity
for the pilots and cabin crew
656
00:39:47,500 --> 00:39:49,033
to see it for the first time.
657
00:39:50,380 --> 00:39:52,610
- So, one step forward.
658
00:39:52,610 --> 00:39:53,863
That's it, well forward.
659
00:39:55,690 --> 00:39:56,923
One foot well forward.
660
00:39:59,010 --> 00:39:59,843
Okay.
661
00:40:07,220 --> 00:40:11,030
- 5:00 a.m., Airport.
662
00:40:11,030 --> 00:40:13,733
One week from the first
commercial flight to Egypt.
663
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:18,900
Captain Serge Vito and his team
664
00:40:18,900 --> 00:40:21,283
carry out the ritual tour of the aircraft.
665
00:40:22,340 --> 00:40:26,093
It's the rule before each
takeoff, one last verification.
666
00:40:27,740 --> 00:40:29,240
- There
are two forward ones,
667
00:40:29,240 --> 00:40:31,580
one electronic and the other...
668
00:40:31,580 --> 00:40:33,063
No, no, it's this one.
669
00:40:38,090 --> 00:40:40,110
- Serge Vito
is going to supervise
670
00:40:40,110 --> 00:40:41,890
the first flight in real conditions
671
00:40:41,890 --> 00:40:43,983
for the new 787 pilots.
672
00:40:44,870 --> 00:40:47,380
During the course of the
day, five teams of pilots
673
00:40:47,380 --> 00:40:49,980
will relay each other at
the controls of the Boeing.
674
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,140
For this, the aircraft
will carry out successive
675
00:41:02,140 --> 00:41:03,760
shuttle flights between the airports
676
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:05,857
of Chateauroux and Vatry.
677
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,912
Aboard, we naturally find
678
00:41:14,912 --> 00:41:17,613
once again, the 787 trained mechanic.
679
00:41:19,460 --> 00:41:21,840
- As a
rule, you activate it.
680
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:25,371
You see here, this one
here is for maintenance
681
00:41:25,371 --> 00:41:26,833
and this is normal one.
682
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:29,833
This one's for us.
683
00:41:32,550 --> 00:41:34,590
- Serge Vito
gives the pilots in training
684
00:41:34,590 --> 00:41:36,733
the final explanation of the flight plan.
685
00:41:43,260 --> 00:41:46,393
For the last few months, the
training has been theoretical.
686
00:41:47,240 --> 00:41:48,800
Today for the first time,
687
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,423
they will really be at the
controls of a Dreamliner.
688
00:41:54,730 --> 00:41:55,923
How will they react?
689
00:41:57,260 --> 00:41:58,963
Will they have the right reflexes?
690
00:42:00,650 --> 00:42:03,193
Is it easy to go from
one aircraft to another?
691
00:42:06,180 --> 00:42:08,170
- Each machine is different.
692
00:42:08,170 --> 00:42:10,810
You need to be trained for each of them.
693
00:42:10,810 --> 00:42:13,510
Each training session lasts two months.
694
00:42:13,510 --> 00:42:16,200
You can't simply go from one to another.
695
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,030
You need to be qualified.
696
00:42:18,030 --> 00:42:21,030
Switching from one aircraft
to another would be just like
697
00:42:21,030 --> 00:42:24,153
switching between two
totally different cars.
698
00:42:26,910 --> 00:42:28,790
- But a car
which travels at an average
699
00:42:28,790 --> 00:42:31,313
of 913 kilometers an hour,
700
00:42:35,240 --> 00:42:37,700
and who's very particular aerodynamics
701
00:42:37,700 --> 00:42:40,793
produce new sensations
for the pilot in command.
702
00:42:45,450 --> 00:42:48,240
- It's very
agreeable to pilot, very delicate,
703
00:42:48,240 --> 00:42:52,010
more so than the 777
which was a bigger machine
704
00:42:52,010 --> 00:42:54,100
and a slightly older style.
705
00:42:54,100 --> 00:42:56,090
Here the dosage is even more delicate,
706
00:42:56,090 --> 00:42:58,533
which makes it very agreeable to pilot.
707
00:43:07,240 --> 00:43:08,860
- An hour from
708
00:43:08,860 --> 00:43:10,440
the pilots do a trial landing
709
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:11,367
in .
710
00:43:20,264 --> 00:43:22,800
It's barely daylight, but
journalists and enthusiasts
711
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:25,183
from all around the
region are already there.
712
00:43:30,250 --> 00:43:33,303
On the ground, Serge Vito
changes the crews over.
713
00:43:34,690 --> 00:43:36,360
Without even opening it's doors,
714
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:38,143
the aircraft takes off again.
715
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:43,060
In the cockpit, the new
crew tests the power
716
00:43:43,060 --> 00:43:44,933
and reactions of the new Boeing.
717
00:43:49,310 --> 00:43:52,770
The pilots have of course
come to know this cockpit.
718
00:43:52,770 --> 00:43:54,960
They spent a week in
London for flight practice
719
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:56,003
in a simulator.
720
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,853
The crews practice the
most delicate maneuvers.
721
00:44:01,900 --> 00:44:05,210
Flight controls, aircraft reaction,
722
00:44:05,210 --> 00:44:08,130
everything just as in real life.
723
00:44:08,130 --> 00:44:10,410
The pilot on the right is
accompanied on the left
724
00:44:10,410 --> 00:44:11,600
by ,
725
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:13,463
a pilot in command instructor.
726
00:44:21,830 --> 00:44:24,090
- The simulator
is still very theoretical,
727
00:44:24,090 --> 00:44:25,863
even though it's highly realistic.
728
00:44:27,194 --> 00:44:28,950
By being onboard the real aircraft,
729
00:44:28,950 --> 00:44:31,930
surrounded by the real
atmosphere of it all,
730
00:44:31,930 --> 00:44:33,563
nothing beats the real world.
731
00:44:37,350 --> 00:44:39,680
- At Châteauroux
Airport, pilots undergo
732
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:42,213
specific training for the
delicate landing phase,
733
00:44:45,550 --> 00:44:47,620
a maneuver repetitively gone through
734
00:44:47,620 --> 00:44:49,193
on the simulator in London.
735
00:44:54,910 --> 00:44:57,560
On the simulator, although
the flight is virtual,
736
00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:00,583
maximum concentration is
needed for this landing phase.
737
00:45:01,530 --> 00:45:04,403
- Approach at
Amsterdam, so we'll descend
738
00:45:04,403 --> 00:45:08,100
at 2,000 feet, then we have a
glide type of three degrees.
739
00:45:08,100 --> 00:45:10,266
- This is the critical phase.
740
00:45:10,266 --> 00:45:11,153
- 100, 50,
741
00:45:15,438 --> 00:45:17,903
40, 30, 20, 10.
742
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:28,560
- Shall we stay on the runway?
743
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:30,160
- Useful exercises.
744
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:31,750
Here at Châteauroux Airport,
745
00:45:31,750 --> 00:45:33,703
the landing is delicately carried out.
746
00:45:43,919 --> 00:45:47,910
It's the big day here at
747
00:45:47,910 --> 00:45:50,900
After two weeks preparation,
everything seems in order
748
00:45:50,900 --> 00:45:51,983
for the new Boeing.
749
00:45:54,512 --> 00:45:57,600
The 787 takes off for Cairo in 42 minutes.
750
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:02,903
This will be its first commercial flight.
751
00:46:09,309 --> 00:46:13,913
- Down a bit, down.
752
00:46:16,570 --> 00:46:18,630
- These ramp
agents have been briefed
753
00:46:18,630 --> 00:46:20,950
on the fragility of the carbon structure.
754
00:46:20,950 --> 00:46:22,563
They take every precaution.
755
00:46:25,260 --> 00:46:27,380
- You need
to move the safety guard
756
00:46:27,380 --> 00:46:28,680
or it'll catch over there.
757
00:46:31,340 --> 00:46:32,173
Okay, go on.
758
00:46:34,248 --> 00:46:36,380
It absolutely mustn't touch.
759
00:46:36,380 --> 00:46:38,720
If any machine comes in
contact with the aircraft,
760
00:46:38,720 --> 00:46:41,020
it will cause internal damage.
761
00:46:41,020 --> 00:46:42,860
You won't see it with the naked eye.
762
00:46:42,860 --> 00:46:45,450
The section springs back into place.
763
00:46:45,450 --> 00:46:47,570
Even when we do the tour of the aircraft,
764
00:46:47,570 --> 00:46:49,980
we won't see anything,
but there will be damage
765
00:46:49,980 --> 00:46:51,780
on the interior.
766
00:46:51,780 --> 00:46:54,130
You need to leave a gap
of five to 10 centimeters,
767
00:46:54,130 --> 00:46:55,170
definitely no closer.
768
00:46:55,170 --> 00:46:57,370
So even if the aircraft
moves with the wind,
769
00:46:57,370 --> 00:46:59,903
no other machine much
come in contact with it.
770
00:47:10,030 --> 00:47:10,863
What?
771
00:47:10,863 --> 00:47:11,696
Send it in.
772
00:47:14,570 --> 00:47:18,073
On the 787, every container,
every pallet, must be fastened.
773
00:47:20,450 --> 00:47:23,300
- Naturally, nothing
goes exactly as intended.
774
00:47:25,540 --> 00:47:27,190
- Take it out again, then.
775
00:47:27,190 --> 00:47:28,490
It's catching on the rail.
776
00:47:34,010 --> 00:47:36,190
Go on, dammit.
777
00:47:36,190 --> 00:47:37,933
Okay, we're good.
778
00:47:41,290 --> 00:47:43,490
- It's 20
minutes before takeoff.
779
00:47:45,110 --> 00:47:47,073
The aircraft is taking on fuel.
780
00:47:51,890 --> 00:47:55,763
The crew arrives, headed
by Serge Vito, of course.
781
00:47:58,710 --> 00:48:00,360
- The last piece
of the puzzle goes in place
782
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:03,373
today because it will be on
a true commercial flight.
783
00:48:04,290 --> 00:48:06,000
So we're really at the pinnacle,
784
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,440
the culmination of the whole project.
785
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:11,203
So, once again, I'm very
happy to be here today.
786
00:48:17,510 --> 00:48:19,100
- For the pilot in command,
787
00:48:19,100 --> 00:48:21,203
it's time for the final verification.
788
00:48:23,510 --> 00:48:25,220
- It's the
last technical verification
789
00:48:25,220 --> 00:48:27,730
from our side of things before takeoff,
790
00:48:27,730 --> 00:48:30,450
so we make sure there
are no apparent impacts
791
00:48:30,450 --> 00:48:31,853
anywhere on the plane.
792
00:48:35,430 --> 00:48:37,180
- The aircraft is ready.
793
00:48:38,740 --> 00:48:41,730
Two of the ground crew will
help the aircraft leave
794
00:48:41,730 --> 00:48:42,993
it's parked position.
795
00:48:46,690 --> 00:48:49,020
They communicate with the pilot in command
796
00:48:49,020 --> 00:48:51,583
through a headset directly
linked to the cockpit.
797
00:49:02,081 --> 00:49:02,914
- Up.
798
00:49:12,134 --> 00:49:13,960
- The aircraft is in position.
799
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:16,083
The pushback tractor disengages.
800
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:27,263
The ground crew can unplug.
801
00:49:37,270 --> 00:49:40,013
He waves a red security
ribbon at the pilot,
802
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:44,723
the signal that everything is in order.
803
00:49:48,720 --> 00:49:50,973
The 787 begins taxiing.
804
00:50:04,700 --> 00:50:07,010
Following the arrival of this new aircraft
805
00:50:07,010 --> 00:50:08,730
at the heart of the company has been
806
00:50:08,730 --> 00:50:10,403
an extraordinary adventure,
807
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:14,863
a unique journey from Seattle to Paris.
808
00:50:16,670 --> 00:50:18,410
- It's going to
come in from this direction.
809
00:50:18,410 --> 00:50:20,480
Touchdown will be on this runway.
810
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:21,333
This must be it.
811
00:50:29,060 --> 00:50:31,760
- A unique moment
which has left it's mark.
812
00:50:32,670 --> 00:50:37,670
Engineers, mechanics, heads
of projects, cabin crew,
813
00:50:40,180 --> 00:50:41,883
and, of course, pilots.
814
00:50:43,630 --> 00:50:46,670
- Even after
a career of nearly 30 years,
815
00:50:46,670 --> 00:50:48,810
taking delivery of a
new model of an aircraft
816
00:50:48,810 --> 00:50:50,560
is still very moving.
817
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:53,051
It's an extraordinary adventure
and often only happens
818
00:50:53,051 --> 00:50:56,783
once in a pilot's lifetime,
so you savor every moment.
819
00:51:00,362 --> 00:51:03,420
- The Boeing
787 lives up to its name,
820
00:51:03,420 --> 00:51:04,563
the Dreamliner.
821
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:07,693
It's what dreams are made of.
822
00:51:11,290 --> 00:51:12,563
Innovative engines,
823
00:51:15,790 --> 00:51:17,463
unique aerodynamics,
824
00:51:21,530 --> 00:51:22,753
smart cockpit,
825
00:51:27,720 --> 00:51:32,193
a carbon-fiber fuselage,
both light and resistant,
826
00:51:36,270 --> 00:51:39,823
updated windows incorporating
technology of the future.
827
00:51:44,240 --> 00:51:46,920
The 787 is a cocktail of innovation
828
00:51:48,130 --> 00:51:50,113
and everyone's snatching them up.
829
00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:57,890
This model has been customized
by a Japanese company
830
00:51:57,890 --> 00:51:59,603
in the colors of Star Wars.
831
00:52:03,090 --> 00:52:05,530
Originality, which makes the new Boeing
832
00:52:05,530 --> 00:52:07,123
shine across the world.
833
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:14,040
In total, the 787 has already
flown 145 million passengers.
834
00:52:15,870 --> 00:52:20,793
67 companies have order 1,207
models of the Dreamliner.
835
00:52:22,240 --> 00:52:25,233
So the 787 is a symbol of modernity.
836
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:31,183
It reminds us of the progress
made in just a few decades.
837
00:52:34,330 --> 00:52:36,440
This aircraft has become an icon
838
00:52:39,220 --> 00:52:41,393
and its career has only just begun.
