Description
in light of all the 787's recent problems (and grounding here in the US and Japan) i figured i'd draw a sickly Dreamliner laying on a runway after making an emergency landing due to smoke from a burning battery...and subsequent fuel leak once on the ground
(i exaggerated a few things here, but still 
)this is one of the few times you'll see me draw a living airplane that has this much mechanical features too
the Dreamliner is having all these problems simply cuz EVERYTHING on it is state of the art, (lithium-ion batteries instead of ni-cad, wild AC instead of regular AC, composite wings instead of aluminum ones, etc...) so its not too surprising to see newer planes like this being grounded until airworthiness directives are made, saying how to fix the problems
honestly though, i don't trust that many electrical systems on a plane (the 787 is almost all electronic
) so i probably will never want to fly on a Dreamliner even after the issues get fixed

thanks
yes i did fly in a helicopter, back in 2007 i took a ride on a R-44 at my local airport's fly-in breakfast

I think that the wiring and all the electrical stuff has been well insulatoredΒ

You should do more like this. Your realistic living airplane drawings look really good!

heh, thanks

of i could do a pic involving the 3 types of living airplanes all meeting each other full mechanical AIs, half mechanical/half organic, and full organic fleshy planes

yeah, he's cute but he's got a lot of issues

I meant that the way how he got issues is cute in this drawing.

I think it goes beyond one engineer's mistake.

thats what i meant, the apostrophe on engineers was a typo

this is what happens when you make a mostly-elektro aircraft

What point are you trying to make here?Β

Good :3 I was going to spam you with information on why the 787 is awesome, but never mind

exactly!!!

I can tell you exactly what they were thinking... XD
They were thinking they could revolutionize the wide body jet--which they did.
They were thinking they could appeal to the airlines-- which they did.
They were thinking they could take the market back from the 330-- which they are doing.Β
They were thinking they could make a jet more efficient than anything before it-- which they did.
They were thinking they could increase the range-- which they did... by a long shot.
And they were thinking a little tree hugging never hurt anybody... if you don't mind me I have to go draw a dreamliner hugging a tree now...
Long story short: The 787 kicks tail!

i'd actually like to see a pic of a Dreamliner hugging a tree x3 would be cute

I have to draw dancing dreamliners first, but it's on my listΒ

I cannot believe that many airlines are replacing 747-400s with this battery powered peice of crap. It recently got updated, but do you think the new 787s work better?
π: 0 β©: 1
i think they'll work, but they are always going to have problems with the electrical system, cuz the planes uses a TON of electricity, and since everything is electrical theres miles and miles of wire to be configured, and theres always bound to be errors with a system that complex
so yeah, i'd hate to be the poor plane to get electrocuted trying to have sex with one

We must KEEP the Jumbos until the end!

OH NOES! 
((Thanks for inspiring me to do my own living planes!))
π: 0 β©: 1
cuz they feel the need to make everything electrical on this poor guy!
heehee, glad i inspired you

Hee Hee! Thank you!
