No, Bob does do some unit testing though. They also did the Fuel computer acceptance testing.

Looks like a pretty short runway landing too.

Yeah, that was some reverse thrust and/or brakes.

But it was an empty plane, so considerably less inertia that having 100s of passengers/luggage on board.

The Dreamliner is flying over Derby accompanied by a Spitfire and a Hurricane.

Strapped under the DL's wings, probably.

A380 is more about how each airline decides to lay out it's seating, rather than anything fundamental about it's comfort. An A380 could fly the same amount as a 747, but considerably more comfortable. But they can make more money by packing them in. Guess what they decide.

787 will be the same. Despite the layouts that are proposed, airlines will still want to pack them into a 31 inch seating pitch, which feels uncomfortable on any aircraft.

Window darkening function is cool though

Apparently the Dreamliner will be doing a fly over of some Aerospace sites during the week....
