At the museum “Flight of Dreams,” I explored in, under, and around the airplane, looking at the 787 Dreamliner Explorer app, downloaded on my smartphone.
The wings are made of CFRP. They are durable and flexible.
Landing and taxi lights at the wing root
Raked wingtip
Slats, flaps, and flap support fairings
Fuel tank
Flaps and flaperon
Fuel dump outlet and ailerons
Krueger flaps
I took a close look at the fuselage, and paid attention to the protruding parts.
Cabin air compressor inlet
Pressure relief vents and static ports
Ice detectors
AOA sensor, TAT sensor, and pitot tube
I fully enjoyed my exploration. The app was very informative and helpful. After getting home, I created a notebook dedicated to Boeing 787. I wrote down what I had learned in the museum, and transcribed the contents of the app. I will continue to study about airplanes with this notebook.
