Equally Revolutionary


Not often I get the chance to use “revolutionary” twice in a week — but congratulations tonight on a somewhat, uh, larger achievement than the iPhone:

Boeing’s 787. The first commercial airliner built almost entirely of composites. Combined with a new generation of engines — Rolls Royce on the rollout plane — this is truly a big deal.

Good fun watching the show tonight, too; wish it could have been in person (another view, taken from the audience), but glad that it was webcast.

First impression on this flying junkie: it’s so smoooooth. (Second: those engines are huge.)

Can’t wait to take a flight! With or without an iPhone…;)
