ION, why the Boeing 787 is so awesome: The Innovative 787 Carries Boeing, And Aviation, Ahead

Airbus is designing an aircraft to compete with the 787, but despite the advantage of a much later start, it will be less advanced.

As much as the 787 Dreamliner looks like the jet that carried you on that cramped, uncomfortable flight last month, almost everything about it is new. From the extensive use of composite materials and advanced aerodynamics to its fuel-efficient Rolls Royce engines and all-electric systems, Boeing is betting the 787 will be the plane to usher in a cleaner, greener future for the airline business.

Boeing claims the 787 is 20 percent more fuel-efficient than comparably sized jets. With fuel being airlines’ number one cost after payroll, Boeing’s plan to build a thriftier airplane came at just the right time, said analyst Richard Aboulafia of the Teal Group.

“You get one shot a decade to launch an all-new product, and in terms of what customers were looking for, they got it right,” he says. “They designed something that is just what airlines want for their premium customers, an efficient airplane for point-to-point international routes.”

It would have sounded much better if he said, "I'd like to introduce them to you." But yeah, seriously lacking social skills.

Bummed about Sarandon and Robbins.

Why is it that I had an easier time training a hyperactive cocker spaniel to flip a treat off his nose than I have convincing my three year old to wait two minutes for a cup of fucking chocolate milk.

OK, I'm outa' work. As in leaving. For the day.

I have a hankering for teriyaki squid, so I'm off to downtown Evanston....

Speaking of Hugh Jackman (several letters ago) I think he is awesome in this: [link]

But mostly I think-- AWESOME COSTUME CHANGE. Like COmplete change and go up a staircase in a minute!
