Australian Aviation and Boeing are offering 10 readers a free guided tour of the 787 Dreamliner at Sydney Airport on Monday, May 28.
It will be a while before the traveling public will have a chance to fly Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner in Australia.
But 10 Australian Aviation readers have a chance to take a free guided tour of the revolutionary jetliner during its visit to Sydney on Monday afternoon. Hosted by Boeing, the tour will include a look at all areas of the aircraft and a chance to talk to test pilots and crew. It’s also the only chance for the public to see the inside of the plane during its Australian visit.
This content is available exclusively to Australian Aviation members.

What interests me the most about Boeing’s new 787 Dreamliner is first, the design of the wings, the way they flex as the Aircraft takes to the air would be one wonderful sight for anyone sitting on window seat and I would love to be that passenger and secondly is the flightdeck, with all the new techs in place and especially those 15″ LCD’s is what I’d like to see most.

I have followed the development of this aircraft from its inception as the Sonic Cruiser back in 2001, through to the 7E7 and finally the 787 we know today. I watched the first flight of the 788 on December 15th 2009 and i would love the opportunity to see this amazing aircraft in person.
Thanks.
Derek
says:
I want to see the cockpit the most. Having recently been inside a 777 and 747 simulator I want to see how far the technology has come.
Andrew Musgrave
says:
I am most interested to see the electrochromic windows and the serrated edges on the engines. Also the cockpit’s new features normally not seen !
Stuart G.
says:
I would love to see the beautiful ‘sky’ interior of this aircraft, also having a peek inside the cockpit. These are the most interesting features!
Chris Tagle
says:
Boeing have brought in a new era in air travel with technological grunt, aerodynamic finesse and a new level of class in comfort.
Take me to Sydney! 😉
alexander lam
says:
What interest me about the 787 is how boeing managed to design the wings with so much flex and the HUD for the pilots.
Pete Smith
says:
The 787 is the most amazing/technologically advanced aircraft to date, there’s not one thing about the aircraft that I don’t want to see!
Mariano Salvati
says:
Current UNSW Aviation student who loves the 787’s chic design. Love to see/sit it in its glass cockpit and gain advice from test pilots
Brett
says:
……………simple…..It’s not French….
Kieran
says:
What interests me most about the B787 is the new design and technology that allows this aircraft to revoluntionise air travel. New cabin atmosphere, the advanced new systems and the highly efficient design make this a very interesting aircraft. I’d love to check out the new cabin and cockpit of this great aircraft
What interest me is the new cabin tech such as the electro-chromatic glass used in the windows instead of the windows shades
Ling T
says:
The design of the wing, its massive engines, the new interior, 25 words is not enough to say what i want to see!
Zac Mathes
says:
What interests me about the 787 is the revolutionary technology that boeing have put into building the aircraft.
Grahame Hutchison
says:
The Dreamliner is such a technology leap in so many areas, from composite construction, to engine efficiency, brakes, pressurization, electronic windows, and low noise levels.
Pick me please :-))
says:
Every time I fly it’s always in the front, would be keen to see the back, only joking. Would like to check-out everything.
Samuel Salvestro
says:
Recently became a student pilot and what better way it’ll be to see a brilliant piece of machine to kick start my career in aviation?

The “design and technology” which contributes to lower fuel consumption and the “intuitive cockpit” captured my attention. I’d like to see the “flight revolution” cabin.
William
says:
Id love to have this opportunity as it is my life dream to become a pilot and fly the dreamliner. Always Boeing over airbus, their just so much cooler!
Nathan
says:
I would like a tour of the 787 to see why it took so long to enter service! In all seriousness, I am fascinated by how far engineering and technology has progressed in aviation and to see and experience the revolutionary design and systems of the latest Boeing airliner would be a real treat. As a pilot, I would most like to see the flight deck and those impressive wings up close – but please show me everything!
Jack Wilson

I just accepted a position with JQ, so I might get to fly one of these babies one day…… So I guess I need a heads up!
If thats not enough, it’s my birthday on Monday…. And I have an RDO on Monday……. BOOM….. WINNER WINNER, CHICKEN DINNER!
Basically what interets me is the overall technological advancement of the aircraft over its predecessors. From fuel effiency to cockpit and cabin upgrades.

the 787 is a huge innovation in aviation and is an efficient beautiful jet that glides through the sky (with awesomeness). the enivironmentally friendly design really captivates anyone who sees it, like me when it came to melbourne. i was amazed at what a beautiful airplane it really was and it looks better than it does in pictures you may see. it is the airplane of the future and i would give anything to see the awesome aircraft it is one more time, this time up close!!!, before it finally enters service with Jetstar in 2013, which i will be sure to see aswell……
the 787 means everything to me and has my best interest in aviation. i love seeing the wonderful pictures (nearly every month now!!) in the awesome Australian Aviation magazine, of which i buy every month.
thanks =P

Closing in fast on our 5pm deadline, so if you’ve been trying to think of what to say, now’s the time.
For everyone else — thanks for all the interest. As you can see, we’ve got many more entrants than places, so it’s stiff competition and we’ll have to make some tough choices.
We’ll send out emails to the lucky 10 later tonight, so please check your inbox. We won’t have time to contact everyone, however, so if you don’t hear from us — thanks for playing and good luck next time!

says:the 787 is a huge innovation in aviation and is an efficient beautiful jet that glides through the sky (with awesomeness). the enivironmentally friendly design really captivates anyone who sees it, like me when it came to melbourne. i was amazed at what a beautiful airplane it really was and it looks better than it does in pictures you may see. it is the airplane of the future and i would give anything to see the awesome aircraft it is one more time, this time up close!!!, before it finally enters service with Jetstar in 2013, which i will be sure to see aswell……
the 787 means everything to me and has my best interest in aviation. i love seeing the wonderful pictures (nearly every month now!!) in the awesome Australian Aviation magazine, of which i buy every month.
thanks =P

says:Closing in fast on our 5pm deadline, so if you’ve been trying to think of what to say, now’s the time.
For everyone else — thanks for all the interest. As you can see, we’ve got many more entrants than places, so it’s stiff competition and we’ll have to make some tough choices.
We’ll send out emails to the lucky 10 later tonight, so please check your inbox. We won’t have time to contact everyone, however, so if you don’t hear from us — thanks for playing and good luck next time!

says:Running outside to see her pass overhead, I realised the 787 is simply beautiful, a rival to the legendary Concorde. And that’s saying a lot.
