Counting the Cost - Dreamliner 787
Counting the Cost

On board the Boeing 787 Dreamliner

CTC gives you an idea of what flying on the new carbon-composite, more environmentally-friendly plane will be like.

In November, Counting the Cost came to you directly from the Dubai Air Show 2011. And the undoubted star of that show was Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner – touted by the company as “the first all-new airplane of the 21st century”.

While only in service with one commercial airline right now, Boeing is taking its test planes on a worldwide six-month ‘Dream Tour’. The latest stop was our backyard, Doha, on Qatar National Day (December 18).

Counting the Cost was among those invited on board for a one-hour demonstration flight over the Qatari capital.

Host Kamahl Santamaria self-filmed this web video to give you an idea of what flying on this new carbon-composite, more environmentally-friendly plane will be like.
