also heard this, is this true or exaggerated the noise we hear "By far and away the biggest issue for me however, was something not related to seat comfort. Right from the moment the tug started pushing the plane back until we were airborne with flaps fully retracted, there was this excruciating whine percolating throughout my area of the cabin. I had to put my fingers in my ears at one point to get some respite from the noise! I suspect it had something to do with the flap hydraulic systems, because the same noise started again when the flaps were extended for landing and didn't stop until retracted again at the terminal."
Seat wise the plane is slightly more uncomfortable than the 747 mainly due to the lack of a moveable headrest, dimensions wise it did not feel too cramped I am 6ft1 and had ample legroom and width. For me that high-pitched noise blended in after a while and once the flaps are retracted it is not there until the landing.
Stephen G ample leg room and width, leg room is comparable at 31 inches for BA, though compared to other airliens wouldn't describe as ample, however am bit doubtful with seat width. thanks for your view :)
was seating cramped? any difference in your feeling of jet lag when go tto roton? I have heard this "My window seat consequently seemed to be tucked up as close to the fuselage as they could get it, so it felt very cramped"
Great video. Very exciting. Thank you for sharing. 👍😉
Wow, when it emerged from the top of the cloud cover, that was sooo cool!

Yo... Just For Your Kind information the flaps were not set to full... they were set to 8 degrees.. no.2 on the flaps lever

I'd be scared to take that flight for the simple fact it's Flight 93.
That's the aileron
What's for a so ugly sound after take off
